It's not too late, the lines are open all this week. I'm gonna wait for the lull in the middle and hopefully beat the mad dash at the end of it all! c x

I think you have five days, you have to text, 0845 99, answer a question ' where is the G8 sumit to be held in July. a. Berlin, b. Mocow, or C. Edinburgh, enter the right letter, calls costs £1.50. radio is saying over a million people have texted already!!!! my 17 year old daughter, wants to know the line up first!!!!, as she doesn't want to go, if there isn't anyone she knows on stage!!!! (strange child lol) so, if I win, I will take one of you nice guys, so,........ start stucking up lol......Lilly

they've also said that it's not first come first call, you can call/text any time this week, all the correct answers will go into a lottery at the weekend with pairs of tickets allocated at random (and yes I have sent a text, so's the wife)

I texted in my entry this morning. The chance of getting a ticket is minimal but I heard local parks and venues will be setting up giant screens and showing it so that'd be good. becx

Yes but I got so excited I texted it to the wrong number lol. Then I ran out of credit and couldn't remember the correct one!!!! Will try again a bit later! Paul is right - you have all week and it is a lottery as to who gets them. Worth texting as the money will go to the charity fund. Maz. XX

You know that you can take a rug, picnic, wine, to Hyde Park, sit near the Concert, and watch a Screen....great fun, great atmosphere, and you hear everything perfectly. My friends and I often do this when there is a good concert on. Soooooo.... if you can't get tickets, you get the next best thing! and its free! BC..
