Free Tickets for Goodwood
« on: May 23, 2005, 11:43:53 am »
If this has already been covered, sorry.
Yesterday, the times was offering free tickets to Goodwood FOS. All you have to do is register (and then wait to get bombarded by email rubbish). I think it's open for a few weeks yet.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Thanks for the tip Nobby, It seems to work - 4 tickets on their way. I hope it doesn’t rain, last time we went 98 I think, the heavens opened and we were sloshing around in ankle deep mud, great day though

Top tip
hopefully 4 tickets should be on there way.

Yep like all these things I didn't read the print so just fired off the request and then found out I should have changed my address BEFORE I sent in the  request.

Still I'm not so bothered now.

It must be my lucky day ! Last week, I ordered my Friday and Saturday tickets online, but the PC locked up when I pressed the confirm button. This meant I didn't know if the order had gone through or not and i didn't get any confirmation e mail either.

So I just rang the ticket line and they confirmed that they had recieved no order from me for tickets ! Excellent.

So I placed an order for the Saturady tickets and have the free Times tickets coming for the Friday and saved £40 ! ;D

Just a small question chaps, how would you have got them at all if not to your home or other valid address??

Well Smokie I think gave a made up address I gave my real address BUT have since moved house.  I did this so long ago I forgot I did it.  

I went to register and found my prefered id was taken but it is quite unique. So I thought I'd try the forgotten password thing.   Sure enough I'd registered before.  So with my recovered password I asked for the tickets.  I then was presented with the screen  saying the tickets would be sent to the address I had registered.  

A quick check revealed they had my old address.

Typical web site problem.  People don't read web sites.  Well not every word.  So you go to the Goodwood page  looking for free tickes and it stands out more than the bit that says.

I don't suppose anyone has recieved their tickets yet? Are the ACO responsible for sending them out this year?
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.
