Nope that looks to be about 217. I used to be a paper boy when I was 13 and that looks about the right size for the amount he says. :hugesmile:

Oh damn. Maybe when they are sent back people who work at where they are distributed will open them.

I bet most will get lost though. Would be great if a complete randomer who is not the usual BB suspect gets a golden ticket.

Also there is 120 tickets but they are not all being dispatched on the same day are they? Don't the golden tickets run from 20th MAy to 20th June? Something like this. Which is 30 days.

So if they spread the golden tickets out evenly then it's like 120/30= Only 4 tickets a day!! :S

Oh wait.. Do they do Daily Star on a Sunday? If not there could be a few more tickets each day.

But there you go.. it's just a very small chance someone will get one.

I hope someone hopefully genuinely finds one and tells us on here! lol

Ooo Ben is an expert. Have you bought a Daily Star Benjeman? :hugesmile:

"Matt Oakes bought 217 copies of the paper on Saturday. "


thats like cheating.

Its good that it only guarantees and audition so they can filter out the mad wannabes who will have bought like a billion papers just to get in and then just be boring.

Nah it's being ruthless ;) Being even more ruthless is actually stealing them :hugesmile:

I wonder how much Matt got paid for his Daily Star interview? Maybe it's a best bet. If you get a golden ticket but don't want to go in the house then still contact the paper and do a paid interview!! lol

Well i wouldnt buy a newspaper just for the chance of getting a ticket. I just take a load home with me after work lol

I would open all the tickets you find though. If you get a winning ticket you could keep it for yourself, sell it, post it to someone! Maybe you could ring up for an interview with the Daily Star that you have a golden ticket? Would just be a shame to waste it. But yeah chances are you won't find one. Even if you buy a few hundred.

He sounds like a right knobhead... hopefully he isn't anywhere near the show's lineup.

mine must have dropped out, there was nothing in my paper unless the paperboy had it off :elephant: i'm not fussed i don't wanna be a housemate but i know somebody who does!

well just been reading all your comments about me, wasnt expecting to cause such a fuss with such an innocent little article in the star but hey love the fact people have already got their views on me :) lol all i can say is im nothing like what you'd expect. I aint your typical virgin, or what you'd expect from an ex internet stripper, nor am i a media ***** like someone mentioned lol i didnt even ask to do the rticle i just wrote in about having missing envelopes. Not from hillfields either or anything like people from shameless (which i dont see nout wrong with anyway) just a small time country boy looking to fullfill his dream of gettin in BB. lol feel free to hate me or love me but thanks to beastie who got my back :)
Matt

....and forgot to say best of luck to anyone else trying to get a Golden Ticket and to all who audition, hope you do well =)

I'm well interesting, me.

I bursted out laughing at the first line.

What Bollocks :laugh:

They launched this 'Contest' on a horrible day, Saturday? Who buys the paper on a Saturday other than old men?

They should of started this on a Weekday, is there still Golden Tickets loose in the paper or did they just waste the whole 'twist' on the Saturday? :bored:

Either way it certainly didn't spark a massive nation-wide situation where everyone is eating eachother to get on the show, no one gives a ****** and that Golden Ticket thing flopped.

Besides - if they're really going to do this, then ******ing launch BB12 first!

Stop with CBB8, No one cares about that.
It's just stupid to do this and then be like 'LOL wait though, cus we've got 4 weeks of watching old washed up 'stars' sit in a house talking about how 'amazing' their dull lives are.'

Launch BB12 First. I agree. But CBB8 Might be better than we expected.

Have you been on the BB Auditions facebook page? Some desprado's on there!

YES!! You heard it here first!! MATT FOR BB! MATT FOR BB!:elephant:

lol thanks for the dancing elephant beastie :) as for the CBB i think it should be good with richard desmond behind channel 5 and with his links to 'celebs' with the star and ok magazine he should pull in some good names and some controvesial ones. Plus it give them a chance to try out some new ideas for the show to see how the public react to them without ruining the main show. Way i see it BB got thrown a lifeline so all fans should be gratefull its still around no matter what they do with it.

I agree. The normal series is usually a lot better than the CBB version. Be good to "test out the water" with the CBB version. I reckon the house will be filled with TOWIE characters. Wouldn't mind a few of them. Would also like a few credible celebrities like Boy George though! :)

Good luck Matt with auditioning for BB. Personally I would love to see you get on!

:wavey: hiya Matt, how many papers were you holding, was it really 217? :D

Matt if you actually get on BB excpect 10x worse lol

If it wasn't for TiBB I wouldn't even know anything about this year's BB. :joker:

Haven't heard one thing about the Golden Tickets outside of TiBB.

Oh I got a golden ticket today. I went out shopping with my mum. She likes the Ok magazine and that. So we bought that Ok bumper pack of magazines. Which there are 4 magazines inside. When I was looking through the Ok magazine I think it was.. a golden ticket fell out! I opened it but it said "sorry was not successful" or something like this?

Thought it was only in the Daily Star. Must be in the OK magazines too!
