I HAVE JUST BEEN BROWSING THE SITE, AND NOTICED LOADS OF SELLERS OFFERING BIG BROTHER GOLDEN TICKETS, FOUND IN KITKAT BARS.

ON READING SOME ADS, I FOUND THAT THEY WERE SELLING ONLY A BAR, NOT GUARANTEED TO HAVE A TICKET INSIDE, AND 1 EXAMPLE WAS BIDDED UP TO £512.

JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, THIS WAS A KITKAT CHOCOLATE BAR, JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU BUY FROM THE LOCAL SHOP, AND IT WAS NO MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A GOLDEN TICKET INSIDE THAN IF YOU WENT OUT TO THE SHOP AND BOUGHT IT YOURSELF FOR 40p!!!

SURELY NO-ONE IS SO DESPERATE FOR 15 MINUTES OF FAME THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR AN ORDINARY EVERY-DAY CHOCOLATE BAR! IT SEEMS THE CHANCE TO APPEAR ON TV PRESENTS ITSELF, AND COMMON SENSE RUNS AND HIDES!!

I THEN FOUND ONE ACTUALLY CLAIMING TO BE SELLING A TICKET, COMPLETE WITH A PICTURE, BUT ON EXAMINING THE PICTURE, I SAW THIS:

I READ WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TICKET, AND IT IS A WILLY WONKA TICKET, LIKE THIS ONE:

 TAKEN FROM THE CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY FILM, WITH A KITKAT PHOTO CLEVERLY, BUT NOT VERY CONVINCINGLY, ADDED ON THE TOP. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN BIDDED UP TO £10,000,000. YES, TEN MILLION POUNDS!!!

I HAVE ALSO SEEN LISTINGS WITH THE WONKA TICKET CLEVERLY ADAPTED LIKE THIS ONE:

THIS IS NOT A BIG BROTHER TICKET, AND IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ONE. THE  REAL BIG BROTHER TICKETS HAVE A HOLOGRAPHIC APPEARANCE, AND ARE NOT GOLD IN COLOUR. THIS IS A REAL TICKET:

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THESE REAL TICKETS AVAILABLE ON EBAY AT THE MOMENT, AND THEY ARE SELLING AT A VERY HIGH PRICE.

PLEASE REMEMBER, THAT HAVING A TICKET IS STILL NO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL ENTER THE HOUSE. YOU HAVE TO ENDURE A THOROUGH BACKGROUND CHECK, WHERE CHANNEL 4 WILL DO EXTENSIVE RESEARCH UNTIL THEY KNOW EVERY LITTLE DETAIL ABOUT YOU. 

 AND EVEN THEN, IT IS STILL A SORT OF 'LUCKY DIP', AS ONLY ONE OF THE 100 GOLDEN TICKET HOLDERS WILL ACTUALLY BE PICKED TO GO INTO THE HOUSE.

VERY IMPORTANT!!: THE CLOSING DATE FOR REGISTRATION OF TICKETS IS TODAY (2ND JUNE- 02/06/2006) AT 10.30 PM, SO PLEASE DONT BID ON ANYTHING (EVEN A KITKAT!!) ENDING AFTER THIS TIME, AS IT WILL BE INVALID. ALSO, DONT BUY ANY TICKETS ENDING TODAY, UNLESS YOU CAN COLLECT AND REGISTER THEM BEFORE 10.30 TONIGHT, OR ASK THE SELLER TO SEND YOU THE TICKET REFERENCE NUMBER IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER, SO YOU CAN RING UP AND REGISTER. THE SELLER CAN THEN POST THE TICKET FOR BIG BROTHER TO CHECK AT A LATER DATE.

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
