Radio Ulster All Ireland Final Tickets Competition Terms and Conditions
The promoter of the competition is the BBC. Please listen carefully for specific details of your BBC radio station competition as this may broadcast as a simulcast across multiple stations.
Eligibility
1. The competition is open to all residents of the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man aged 18 or over on the date of entering the competition, except BBC or BBC Group Company employees, their close relatives or anyone connected with the competition or the particular prize being offered.
How to Enter
2. The competition may run on BBC Radio Ulster’s Vinny and Cate on 17th and 24th of July 2026 (except when editorial requirements lead to a change in schedule or a change in programme content). To enter, listeners must phone in to the number announced on-air when they hear an announcement from the presenter. The presenter will then open the lines and listeners will have approximately 20 minutes to call in and answer the question.
3. Entry is by phone only:
a. Listeners must call BBC Radio Ulster on 03030 805 555
4. Standard geographic charges from landlines and mobiles apply, please ask the bill payers permission before calling. Entry into the competition by text or Whatsapp are not eligible and will be disqualified. No other method of entry will be accepted. If a winner is found, it will be announced during that show.
5. One winner, per competition round, shall be randomly selected from all eligible entries that give the correct answer. The selected entrant will be contacted to be informed of their win off-air. If the entrant does not pick up the phone after reasonable attempts or if all call attempts are diverted to any form of voicemail, answerphone, or automated answer service (including but not limited to call screening features that intercept or filter calls) or the entrant is rude or abusive, the BBC reserves the right to disqualify the entrant and contact the next eligible randomly selected entrant.
6. This process will continue until a winner is found. Following this, the winner(s) may be invited to participate in an on-air segment, or alternatively, their first name and general location may be announced on-air. The competition mechanism and registration process will reset for each round of the competition.
7. Entrants must answer all questions independently and without assistance (except in such circumstances where such reasonable adjustments are in place). Help from any other person, including prompts, signals, background voices or third-party communication of any kind, is prohibited. Any entrant found to be receiving unauthorised assistance will be disqualified.
8. The entrant must be entering on their own behalf. Entries must be made by the person entering the competition. The BBC may disqualify any entry if it believes the information provided is incorrect or misleading.
9. You may only enter once per day; any additional entries will not be counted. Winners are not permitted to re-enter the competition.

The BBC is not responsible for any failure to follow such instructions.
General
