leetroot Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Oh those are really disappointing choices None of my favourites were picked and most of these winners were technically ineligible to win. Ah well, what do we expect from a Muse competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Wow, piano dude is amazing. Ticked off about T&Cs, man. T&Cs, ffs!!! I mean, why even bother having them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 WTF none of the people in those videos are actually playing the songs apart from the sax girl. Seriously, what the actual fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee3Dee Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Actually playing the songs wasn't a requirement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Actually playing the songs wasn't a requirement though. Ok, so fair enough for the one that recreates the videos, but the ones that are just miming along to a track? How is that in any way worthy of winning?

Strangewick Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm pretty sure the T&Cs said they could change the rules whenever they wanted to, so i'm not supprised that that some of the winners weren't valid entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sushi-Belle Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I can't begin to tell you how angry I am about the whole thing! My husband was the pianist who did Knights of Cydonia. Obviously I'm biased but I don't think it's fair that 3 of the winning songs violate the ts and cs. My husband put a lot of thought and effort into making something interesting within the 4 minutes. I know that other entrants will feel the same. Will anyone join me in writing an official complaint? Thanks for your support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sushi-Belle Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Your husband should have won- he was amazing! i've already emailed a complaint! Thanks Livs. I think other people out there are outraged that these entries were chosen when they didn't meet the ts and cs and there were also videos submitted that displayed genuine talent!! I also feel sorry for Pamela Quinn who did a fantastic version of Unintended. So if this pisses you off as much as me, PLEASE email Ticketmaster to complain! prizedraws@ticketmaster.co.uk Thanks for the support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sushi-Belle Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Actually Ticketmaster have a Facebook page and they've done a post announcing the winners. Looks like we're not the only ones who are pissed. I've just left a comment highlighting their "terms and conditions" to them, which you're all free to Like and comment: I'm now going to Share their announcement and give them the bad publicity they deserve. Can't believe Muse allow themselves to be associated with these clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ticketmaster did. Ticketmaster also said that it cost them $23 to "handle" my tickets (per ticket,) even though I selected the digital option... Maybe they just picked some vids that violated the T&C so they don't have to actually award the prize, per their T&C. That's about how much I respect Ticketmaster.

maturefan Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm so, glad my son, daughter and I didn't bother to enter. On a positive note, after seeing on here that Ticketline have a Facebook page I had a look at it and they are advertising for casual staff to work at various outdoor events throughout the UK this summer. My son is unemployed so I told him about it. He desperately needs work so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
