[quote=""NickT04""]Must be! I got the bonus token through the post (1), a starter token on Saturday (2), Tokens 1, 2 & 3 for Mon - Wed (5) the printed the application form off the website and got a bonus online token there. (6) Meaning tomorrow's token will get me up to 7 :D[/quote]

Is that allowed? I got all those tokens but ot sure if I trust an online token aswell as the bonus token in the post!

I decided to do it any how but I cut the token out from the online one as i'd already filled the form from yesterday's paper in.

There was a voucher in the Sun on Saturday, it's quite well hidden though. They are no longer advertising the offer on the front on the papers as you can non longer start your collection but they will be printing tickets most of this week I think.

Thanks for that MPDarby. The Sun in Northern Ireland is not running the offer but thanks to the lovely people in The Sun I can apply for the tickets if I send a masthead for every day the the offer is running. :D It's hard to tell what paper heads I need when our paper doesn't have them. Thanks for your help x

You can't trade your tickets. You get what they give you and that is it. Token's will be printed until 18th March.

I sent my tokens off on Thurday 5th March and they have arrived this morning. They were for band 'A' so would have been a priority but still took less than 2 weeks.

I got my tickets today, after sending off for them the day Token 7 came out. The only problem is that they are for 2nd April, and I'm still in school then. I'm well annoyed.

I have now received 3 of my sets of tickets I sent off for. All in Easter n the 3rd, 11th & 15th. I will probably be sick of the place by the end of the Easter holidays.
