My mum told me something like that, but my mate's coming for a sleepover then we're going to AT - what do I do?
Simple, get them to apply for the tickets, or make them pay for entrance, in short, do NOT put it under your address again, or you risk having the first lot being voided, and nobody wants that do they ;)

I don't think you get the point. One per household (ie address), does not matter who it is. You need to use someone else's address who has not already applied (and who can give you the tickets when they arrive and not keep them for themselves). I've used things like grandparents addresses in the past with no probs.

I've not had my tickets back from the sun yet either!

For those worrying about the tickets not arrive, do not panic, keep in mind, they wanna get out the tickets near the date on the ticket, for example, last year, I got tickets for 09/07/11, and they didnt turn up for ages, I thought I wasnt gonna get any, luckily, this year, I applied for an earlier date, and in turn got the tickets quite fast.

In short, Dont worry about not getting your tickets instantly, you WILL get them eventually, just keep an eye on your postbox.

I've applied for the end of the season. Hope they don't take too long as I'll have to book time off work, and hopefully the hotel. Had a great time last year!

Just got my 1st lot. Sunday 20/5. 6 weeks after my annual pass runs out. Perfect. 3 more sets due so fingers crossed for good dates.

I also got my tickets today, Saturday 26th May which I think was in my first band, Im currently working that weekend but I will swap it and hopefully go on the Saturday with my brother and dad, and the Sunday with some friends using the return for £5 thing.

Is the one-per-household rule not enforced then? Or have you done several "on other people's behalf"?

Got both my sets back today anyway. Quick reminder that tomorrow is the last day to send off (with a first class stamp!), although you'll probably only get some obscure dates  now...

I got my tickets the other day for 01/05/12, but this is literally the one week that I cannot make!  :cry:

I don't suppose there is anyone in the West Midlands area on here that has tickets for a weekday in either April or May that would like to swap with me?

I wanted the last 2 weeks of September which I thought would be a dead cert what with the park being fairly quiet and the schools going back. Sadly they gave me Friday 27th April which was my 3rd choice. I can't get that day off. :-(
