Imagine winning a ticket and when you turn up there are no women there, not a single one :crying:
Hugh Hefner launches Willy Wonka-style giveaway of tickets to Playboy Mansion
The 21st century Willy Wonka: Hugh Hefner is giving away ten tickets to a party at the Playboy Mansion
Hugh Hefner has taken a tip from Willy Wonka and is offering ten golden tickets to visit his Playboy Mansion.
A visit to the porn mogul's huge Beverly Hills residence will probably be more X-rated than Charlie Bucket's visit to Wonka's confectionery wonderland in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
But ten readers of the December issue of Hefner's Playboy could echo Charlie's cry of 'I've got a golden ticket!' after magazine founder Hefner offered ten sought-after passes to his mansion.
The 'Playboy Golden Ticket' offers winners entry to Hefner's Midsummer Night's Dream party and promises 'The Girls! The Mansion! The Night of Your Life!'
Lucky winners will also be allowed to bring a guest to the party and will be provided with transportation and a hotel for the once-in-a-lifetime event.
Announcing the giveaway, Playboy editorial director Jimmy Jelinek told Reuters: 'This is the first time we’ve literally swung the doors open to the public.
'The average reader will go home with stories they can’t tell their wives and girlfriends but will last forever.'

Jellinek said he dreamed up the idea after thinking about Wonka's giveaway of five golden tickets in the wrappers of chocolate bars for a visit to his sweet factory and convinced Hefner to double the giveaway when it came to Playboy mansion passes.
'Hef thinks of this as a golden dreams ticket," Jellinek added.
The December issue of Playboy is published today and Jellinek is hoping for 'pandemonium' as readers rush to buy a copy in the hope of winning a golden ticket.

'We expect people to be fighting in the streets for these copies,' he added.
Playboy Magazine is urgently in need of a boost in popularity, with sales falling by 34 per cent last year, sparking rumours that Hefner may be forced to sell his mansion.
But according to Jellinek, the one-off chance to attend one of the legendary Playboy Mansion parties could give the iconic title a lift.
'It really harks back to another time when gentlemen were gentlemen, and you had to be invited to get in,' he said, 'plus, it's sexy as hell.'
