3. To enter the Prize Draw, you must complete all required details on the following entry form: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=ur7mk6rEMUevXdc1sJfq2_60yqqrgD1ElRiOAunPAwVURjVJOFo5SVNSV0g5R0NXVTFDSkRTN0sxMS4u (“Entry Form”).

Entrants may submit the form multiple times, provided each submission selects a different match date that has not been previously chosen by the same entrant. Please note that additional tickets awarded to winners are not tracked through our entry mechanism, so it is possible for entrants to receive tickets more than once if they are selected as a guest of another winner.

In the first instance, the University will allocate 20 home tickets to winners who are current students at the University and 20 home tickets to winners who are University or subsidiary company employees. Each winner may receive up to 4 tickets in total for each match, in accordance with the number selected by the winner in their relevant Entry Form. If, at the time of an individual Prize Draw, there is an insufficient number of entries from either students or employees, the University may allocate the remaining tickets to the other group (e.g., student tickets may be awarded to employees and vice versa).

The draw will be conducted using a random computer process, and prizes will be allocated in the sequence outlined above. Multiple winners will be selected until all 40 tickets are given away, with the number of winners varying based on the number of tickets each entrant has requested. The draw will take place two weeks prior to each match, and tickets will be delivered digitally to the @herts.ac.uk email address provided by the entrant in their Entry Form.

Winners must acknowledge receipt of the email to claim their tickets. If a winner does not respond to the University within 48 hours of being notified, then the winner’s prize will be forfeited, and the University reserves the right to select an alternative winner using the process described above.
