Peckhamoldboy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You may have heard about the Southwark News free ticket offer but I wanted to post on here so as many Southwark residents took up the tickets as possible, especially people who might enjoy the game or who have never been to the Oval before.I have a vested interest, just so I am up front about it, as I work for the paper but it really is a great offer. I took up my tickets and cricket is a great day out and we have one of the best venues in the world on our doorstep.Anyway the paper has 2,000 tickets for this Fridays game at the Oval and they are FREE. Just follow below and lets hope the sun is out for the game. Incidentally it is a day/night game starting at 3.40pm so come along for the second innings after work if you can't make the whole game. Max of two tickets per application.Anyway here are the instructions and enjoy. See you at a game soon.1.Go 2 http://kiaoval.com 2. Go 2 'Buy tickets', click 'CB40' 3. Pick Somerset game & use 'News' code. Thanks for your time and I hope you don't mind me using your forum, but its a good offer for Southwark residents. No idea how many have gone but try it if you are interested.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 What am I doing wrong? After step 3 there is no 'code'/buy option. Had to register and then ditto no code/buy option - asks me for my membership number. *In a frustrated loop* Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23269-southwark-news-offers-free-surrey-tickets-for-friday/#findComment-541564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhamoldboy Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Not sure what is happening.After you log in, select the unreserved seating and it should take you to a payment page where it has a discount code at the bottom. There you enter the code.Good luck Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23269-southwark-news-offers-free-surrey-tickets-for-friday/#findComment-541570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffers Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Have you clicked on the green circle with unreserved written in it that looks like a simple diagram of the ground?

David A Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If you go to the stage I've pasted in below and enter your login, it should lead you through to the big green diagram of the ground. If you click on that it should lead you through to the 'enter code' stage.I did it half an hour ago and it worked for me.https://www.eticketing.co.uk/surreytickets/details/event.aspx?itemref=1961 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23269-southwark-news-offers-free-surrey-tickets-for-friday/#findComment-541598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxi Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've done this too (booked free ticket I mean) - PGC - I'm presuming you went through all the 'Create Account stuff and registered your email and a password so...When you get the options of filling in your email and password with the lines underneath saying: 'activate account' (and under that Forgot Password?) - that's only for those who are already Surrey CCC members not those who have just registered email and password to get these tickets (hence the M number) so don't press that button - just press the LOGIN > box which is underneath. hope this helps.

ruffers Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Greetings from The Oval. A bit chilly but dry with Somerset 81-3 chasing 295.

Gubodge Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks for this, Peckhamoldboy. Husband and 7 year old daughter have just come back from the Oval. She'd taken her DS, prepared to be bored, but had a great time. We wouldn't have bothered with a limited overs game if it hadn't been for the free tickets but it was the perfect introduction to the game. Yay! Another cricket fan in the family. My turn next time.
