Sunday 15th July - Flying Legends - 2 Tickets & Parking Permit

Post by jeallen01 » Mon Jul 09, 2018 2:19 pm

As I posted just now in the Flying Legends 2018 thread,
I've been to the last few Legends, and - not being that "impressed" (unfortunately!) - decided not to go to the 2018 event. But, some time ago, I received an envelope (presumably from the FL organisers!) with a ticket and Parking Permit for FL 2018 (neither of which I had actually purchased AFAIK).

Big Surprise after I finally informed IWM/TFC about the tickets (there actually 2) - I got a phone to tell me that it seems I had won them in a "Flypast" mag draw, but Flypast never told me that!

Now the dilema is still - do I/we go, or don't I/we? Given the very hot weather now and forecast - and the fact that we are already suffering badly from the heat - then the answer has to be No.

In the phone call, I was told that I can do what I like with these tickets, and so, does anyone want to make me a "reasonable offer" (by Paypal Gift for preference) for the 2 tickets (there are no names on them) and the Parking Permit? Be quick and I can post them tomorrow, RM 1st Class Signed For.

35 views but no offers :huh:
So does anyone consider something like £35 for the 2 tickets & the Parking Permit to be "reasonable"?

I'm not sure anyone would be particularly happy about paying you for something you won in a competition! Perhaps you could post them back to the magazine and ask that they re-draw?

@EGVP
Over the years, I've spent a lot of cash going to Duxford, and often "losing on the day" because I bought tickets for both of us - but then SWMBO (and sometimes both of us) wasn't well enough to come along (as well as spending a lot more on Flypast subs for many years!). Thus I don't feel that I am doing anything "unethical" in offering a "cheap deal" to someone else who still wants to go!

Anyway, I doubt there would be time to send the tickets back to Flypast, and then for them to reallocate and send them to ANOTHER - if they could?

Only just got the messages and PM'd my reply - which explains why I didn't reply before (wife's car now has a blown motor with oil in the water header tank and all over the floor - so been looking for a new car :( )

Tickets now sold to Pete's boss, via the ebay listing (also saves me withdrawing that listing)! :D
