I Won FREE Tickets!!!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932) 2 years ago

YES!!!thumbup

There is a four days music festival in St Louis next weekend...and last night I won two free tickets, so I can go to 2 out of the 4 days for free.

Several REALLY good older groups will be there...it was kind of hard to pick the two days I wanted from here:

but I decided on the Saturday show so I can see Healing Sixes

http://www.healingsixes.com/

(I've met these guys a couple times and got to hang out with them...really talented group and real down-to-earth...no big egos at all)

and Sunday so I can see Montrose

Each of the two days I am going features 6 bands, including Jackyl, Dokken, LA Guns, Collective Soul...and Bret Michaels was scheduled to appear...only he was re-admitted to a hospital yesterday after a minor stroke, and it was discovered he also has a hole in his heart, so...best wishes to you Bret.sad

And, to top it off, I also got 30 free drink tickets!!!w00t

Yes...I have someone else driving for me.

So I am in an extremely good mood...I LOVE rock 'n roll, and FREE concerts are THE BEST!!!

What bands have you seen (or are planning to see)? Did you have to buy tickets? How much were they? Was the band any good? (I've paid good money before only to have the band so wasted that the show was worthless) Have you ever won free tickets to see a concert?

Oh, you're lucky to have festivals that feature big bands there. In the Philippines, there are such festivals but only local bands, lol. I love rock and roll and wished to watch international bands play in gigs like that.

Have fun!

Yes...I have someone else driving for me. rofl Is somebody getting a reputation for something here? lol

There's a band at the casino every Friday night (different one each week). Some of them are pretty decent. And no, I couldn't tell you a single band's name. Not one. But I often sit myself down at the penny poker machine right by the band and lose very, very slowly and listen...

And nope, can't say as I've ever won free tickets that I can think of...


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  2 years ago

I got a phone call from the guy that runs karaoke Wednesday...he asked if he was gonna have to start babysitting me after he saw it in the paper that they had got me again.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24262)  2 years ago

OH yeah that's right, everything gets into the paper there too. Remind me not to show up there and invite you in to the back seat of my car. lol

Hey Lamb! That was good luck! I am sure that you will have a good time. I was at a concert a few months ago and it was pure craziness. All the groups were Thai and it was all over the city. Unfortunately I did not know one group except Potato or even one song, but just the total excitement was worth it! Have fun!

Wow! Well done!

What did you have to do to win them?

It's been a while since I saw a live band but a few years back I won several tickets, to concerts and cds and stuff by winning contests on the local radio. My biggest win was years ago. I won tickets for 2 to Knebworth with the air flight and hotel included. Due to a death in the family I was unable to go so I put my win up for sale in two local music shops to the highest bidder. Before I got home after taking the flyers up to the shops there had already been several calls and within 24 hours I let them go - and bought a brand new stereo with the money! lol

Hey, just a thought: who is going to pick them other kids up if you are at a concert?


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  2 years ago

Ya know...I was SUPPOSED to be going to Georgia that weekend...guess someone else will have to do it.lol

What did you have to do to win them?

I had to shove a couple people out of the way...they gave them away by throwing them at the crowd last night at karaoke...devil


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20628)   ranked 5 out of 6 in going to concerts  2 years ago

You gotta be joking? shocked It was that simple? lol
I bet the others didn't really stand a chance now did they? LOL evil grin


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  2 years ago

Hell no, them tickets was MINE from the word go...lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20628)   ranked 5 out of 6 in going to concerts  2 years ago

So you will be away next week-end but what about this one? whistle


myLot reputation of 99/100. Alice_in_webland (1434)  2 years ago

Congrats, I won tickets years ago to go to a concert featuring a bunch of bands but was unable to attend and gave them to a friend.

I have paid to go see Pam Tillis and Collin Ray a number of times, also went and saw Kenny Chesney with several other bands opening for him. Went to Country in the park last year and saw 5 bands. I remember 1 was the Trailer Park Choir, the grand final was Billy Ray Cyrus.

I saw Boston about 10 years ago that was pretty good!

I have been to 2 really great concerts one was Prince and the other was Garth Brooks, the night I went to Garth Brooks both were well worth the price. Less than $30 for Prince and I think that Garth tickets were $37.50 the other bands were pretty cheap. Kenny Chesney was free, someone canceled on my sister-in-law and she invited me.

I know I have seen a few other bands but for the life of me I can't remember.

I hope you have a wonderful time, and glad to hear that you have a designated driver and free drink coupons to boot.w00t
