Lame

Well, we definitely have pit tickets.

On the other hand, call me ungrateful, but I'm pretty disappointed that we don't even get the early entry tickets or any chance to meet the band. At all. Not even at the Meet & Greet.

What is the point of sending us all that way, even if it is in a nice hotel, if we only really get the same benefits as we would buying the tickets ourselves (which we seriously considered doing if we didn't win). I'm an Overcast Kid - I could have been entered for a Meet & Greet draw if I'd known.

It's actually kind of gutting. Especially considering the fact that there is now a competition - exclusively for US fans - to meet the band. How much hardship would it have been to just give us ten minutes or Meet & Greet passes?

Back when I was still getting girls' magazines and things, competitions would always be, "Go and see Boyzone - you'll meet the boys and get a free t-shirt and loads of signed stuff!"

:(

I don't think it's our contact's fault - she was really nice and is going to pass on our thanks to the band for picking us, but I can't help but feel a bit short changed after all the effort we made to get into the top ten.

I'd make a post on OCK perhaps. Maybe someone on there will see the irony of the situation.

I don't want people to just think I'm whining, though... :(

I don't think they would if you write it as a WTF kind of thing.. make it more that you're bemused by it as opposed to begging.

I mean, it is silly £2000 and no meet and greet.

Posted it. Man... it all just feels so lame.
