So this is actually the first post I've seen since November 13th regarding this:

Congratulations to Nancy Benson who got the answer to this week's Golden Ticket competition right! We're so impressed with everyone's Irish knowledge. Dúlamán is indeed a type of seaweed.
Nancy, please email us at info@celticwoman.com with your details so we can organise your Voices of Angels Spring Tour passes.



So congrats to Nancy first of all, but I think I missed a week somewhere. That's a different answer than the question posted in Week 1. So I didn't see the result of the first week or the question posted for the second week.

Does anyone know where these got posted? Seriously, I didn't see it on Facebook and even if I go back now and search for the week 1 winner or week 2 question, I don't see it.

[CWazyTom]

There was definitely another post somewhere.

The winner mentioned above didn't post the first week's competition on Facebook and also there was no mention of seaweed in any of those comments.

I mean I know Facebook is weird sometimes, but there's no way Celtic Woman Tour posted about this again on Facebook between then and now.

Did one of the girls post the 1st winner and 2nd question instead of CW Tour?

Was it posted somewhere not on Facebook? I didn't see the second question in the Newsletter, Twitter, Instagram...

Lol. Where am I not following them?

I logged on with a test account in Facebook just to see if somehow Facebook was somehow hiding the post(s) from last weekend that I would have expected for the week 1 winner and week 2 competition post. I still don't see it. Obviously someone did in order to answer the question. Lol. It's either hiding from me in plain sight or it's really well hidden.

Did anyone else see the second competition post or the first winner post last weekend?

[CWazyTom]

Oh I see. They're punishing me for the #tagtrain. Shows me to mess with the system.

Lol. Just kidding.

But seriously where are all the posts for this competition hiding? I feel like I'm playing Where's Willy (mixed reference to Where's Waldo and a certain fictional literary character associated with a golden ticket).

[CWazyTom]

This is really odd. The link they posted on Twitter to the Golden Ticket competition doesn't work.

I don't see questions 2 or 3 on their Facebook page anywhere.

If I search for Dulaman or Seaweed on Facebook, whether I filter by Celtic Woman Tour or not, I don't see any post.

I searched for #VoicesOfAngels #GoldenTicket ... not seeing the other questions.

I tried searching for public posts from the one winner I know of. Can't find where the answer was posted.

Tried searching on Google just in case Facebook is messed up. Still can't find it.

I looked through all the photos and videos for the past month on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to see if it was in there instead of a post. Couldn't find question #2 or #3.

If it's buried inside a comment thread somewhere, it's apparently not searchable.

I tried searching for a post last Sunday when question 3 was supposed to be posted, but I don't see anything much less a question.

It's almost like these questions are in posts that are not public (ie. you have to be in a group with permissions or have a direct link to the question to access it).

I dunno, I guess I don't deserve it if I can't even find the questions, but I can't say I haven't tried...

[CWazyTom]

Progress!

With my regular network settings, if I go to the CW Tour Facebook page or search or press on a direct link to one of the Golden Ticket posts (ie. https://www.facebook.com/celticwoman/photos/a.164250352837.120996.117800522837/10154737938682838/?type=3&theater), I get:

Sorry, this content isn't available right now
The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in.

If I go to the exact same link or just browse/search on the CW Tour Facebook page through a US proxy, I can see all those posts and comment on them.

If I drop the proxy connection, I can't see the posts anymore...

So that confirms the theory that these posts are only visible / accessible regionally. I think that's the first time I've ever had that happen to me before.

Glen can see the posts through a UK proxy, so it's not ONLY US-based IPs that are allowed to access it. I'm not really sure why this is blocked in Canada (maybe elsewhere). Maybe due to legal issues. Maybe it was in the fine print which I glossed over in my excitement.

Well, at least I wasn't completely losing my mind. I may be CWazy but I'm not crazy. Lol!!!

Anyways. Mystery solved (well...kinda).

I ask CW Tour if people in Canada just aren't eligible or if it was regionally blocked in error...

And I entered the third contest while I was connected to the US proxy, just in case.

[CWazyTom]

Hopped back on the US proxy today to check the Golden Ticket thread.

Congrats to the 3 lucky winners so far! I hope those Golden Tickets get lots of use and spread plenty of joy.

One more chance everyone! Question should be posted tomorrow (Sunday).

[CWazyTom]

I can see the fourth and final competition without using a proxy!
