shame https://www.thevinyldistrict.com/ doesn't do them anymore
I got a few from that

[Starsky]

Nobody does them


There was a while about 10 years ago where it was real easy to win.

yeah, I probably got tix to 5 shows from TVD.
the site is still updated, but last contest was years ago

[Yada]

late 00's/early 10's I used to crush the GW radio station giveaways via FB.

[grateful]

I feel like this should be a runaway win for one of us. What's your best bad idea?

I was tempted not to post for that reason as well
but I think only 5 more entries won't kill my odds that much

Luckily, sideLink posted a broken link, so no one will fill it out!

I entered last year and lost.

The link problem may be Union Stage's problem, not Sidehatch's. The link in the email I got this year doesn't work.

I wish Sweetcell would send some of his social media karma...I remember he won a free trip to Brussels through a Facebook contest.

Damn the form is closed.
I too remember winning tix on a semi-regular basis. I used to be a regular City Paper reader and noticed when the revamped their website at some point that they got rid of the page for entries. I feel like the lack of such giveaways also plays into other recent convos on here re: local music and music scenes more broadly. There's a lack of systemic infrastructure, which was eventually boiled down to putting the onus entirely on "the people" and social media.

I definitely used to win through City Paper... A big one was the GW radio station in the late 2000's. They had a facebook page that had probably 50 followers and was always giving tickets away on there.

College radio really served many great purposes when I was a young one. I won *so* many great concert tickets.
