WERE YOU AMONG the thousands of Ed Sheeran fans left disappointed yesterday when tickets to his Whelan’s gig were allocated?

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Worry not as there’s still a smidgen of hope.

Several radio stations are currently running competitions for tickets to the intimate show. Time to get entering, Sheerios:

Today FM will be running a competition on air at 2.30pm today. It is advised to listen to this podcast to get a head start on the competition.
SPIN 1038 are giving away a pair on their Facebook page. All you have to do is comment.
98FM are running a competition on Twitter. Simply retweet and keep your fingers crossed.
FM 104 are giving away tickets with their Hearin’ Sheeran competition. Listen to FM104 and text ED to 53104 whenever you hear an Ed Sheeran song being played in full. More details here.

Alternatively, you could take this guy up on his offer:

Selling 2 tickets to @edsheeran in Whelans on Saturday. 500 each. Want them to go to #realfans. Any chance of RT Ed? #EdSheeran #whelans
