I sent in the text at around 11.15 and got the thank you for entering reply around 12.45(I'm on Virgin mobile).
Personally I think they should restrict it to one text per number. |

I think it's total crap you get ONE ticket if you win.
I'll be a right Billy no mates if I won, if I wanted to take my brother, I'll probably have to pay a £1,000 on ebay! Hang on still trying to make sense of the t and c on the website to see if the compis for pairs....... Last edited by jaybee24uk : 06-06-2005 at 21:40. |

Yes you do, it was never clear on the news, 6500 pairs it says in the t&C on thr live8 website.
It also says tickets can't be resold. So there's no excuses to ebay them! |

Did anyone else see the irony in this?
On the news yesterday they reported some students who were going to spend all day texting at £1.50 a time - so lets say they manage 20 texts a hour for 8 hours, thats £240! Nice one Bob - lets combat 3rd world debt by increasing student debt! |
