Horsemen Knockout Ticket Giveaway
July 8, 2008 by Paul Hooper · 112 Comments

*THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED*
That’s right, we are back again with another blog giveaway. This time around the Horsemen Football is helping us to hook you all up with an awesome experience for you and your friends. There are two more home games left for the Horsemen. Two lucky winners (one for each game) chosen at random will win themselves 4 tickets to the game. Not only will you get to go to the game, but the winner and one of his/her guests will be brought on field during one of the breaks in the game to box each other with over-sized boxing gloves. The winner of the boxing match will win 14 free passes to LA Boxing at Brannon Crossing.
The rules are simple as always:
- Leave a comment on this post
- In your comment, tell us something different you’d like to see at a Horsemen Football game
- Be sure to leave the comment with an email address you check frequently, since that will be how we will contact you if you are one of the winners.
The giveaway will end at 5:00pm EST on Thursday, July 10. After it is over, we will take all the entries and have our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker-machine determine a winner. We have trained our monkey well, and if he detects that someone has entered more than once then not only will they be disqualified, but they will get bad luck for 5 years and a visit from the IRS. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment, so be sure to enter ONLY ONCE.
The final two Horsemen Football games are on July 12 at 7:30pm and July 19 at 7:30pm. We hope that even if you aren’t one of the lucky winners, you will still come out and join us and help cheer them on when they are boxing. Good luck to all who enter!

WWE Summerslam Giveaway

*THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED*
That’s right, its time for another giveaway. This time we have some WWE tickets and swag that one lucky person will get their mitts on. This will be similar to our previous giveaways in that we will randomly choose a winner from all those who entered. Now for what we are giving away…

One lucky winner will snag him or herself two tickets to the upcoming WWE Summerslam event on July 11. In addition to that, they will receive two extra-large WWE T-shirts, a Wrestlemania XXIV sack pack and a WWE slinky (everyone loves a slinky right?).
Follow the simple steps below in order to enter yourself into the drawing for the giveaway:
- Leave a comment on this post
- In your comment, tell us your name as a wrestler. It could be something as simple as another person’s name (sort of like a stage name) or could be similar to a title like The Waffler.
- Be sure to leave the comment using the appropriate email address for us to contact you at if you are the winner. Choose one that you use and check frequently
The giveaway will end at 5:00pm EST on Wednesday, July 9. After we lock it down, we will take all the entries and run them through our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker-machine and determine a winner. The catch (if you can call it that) is that we have a smart monkey. If he detects that someone has entered more than once then not only will they be disqualified, but they might open their front door and find a heaping pile of rotten banana peels. No one wants that, trust me, so be sure to enter ONLY ONCE.
Now, one more thing. This one is important… GOOD LUCK! ![]()
Go Blue! Ticket Giveaway

*THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED*
I know what you are thinking, “What? Another Giveaway?” After hours of trial and error, various experiments, field research and rigorous testing, I can finally confirm once and for all that there can never actually be too much of a good thing. With that settled, we thought it would be great to run another giveaway on the blog. The show of choice this time around is the highly anticipated Blue Man Group : How to be a Megastar Tour 2.1 which is sure to be one of the most exciting and elaborate shows this year. One random entrant will win a pair of tickets to the show. To enter in the giveaway, we are asking you to comment with the bands/groups/shows that you would like to see come to Rupp Arena. We definitely get a fair share of ‘megastars’ on the arena floor, like the Blue Man Group, but there are so many events out there that we sometimes miss ones that you would love to see.
Follow these easy steps to enter:
- Leave a comment on this post.
- Include in the comment your top event (or more than one if you would like) that you would like to see come to Rupp Arena. These could be musical acts, sports events, or any other type of event.
- Be sure to leave the comment under the email address you want us to contact you at if you win
It is quick, painless, and lets us know what you would like to see come to Rupp Arena so we can try to book them. We will once again run all the comments through our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker-machine to select a winner. Since it is random, as long as you make sure that you suggest at least 1 event you would like to see, then you have just as good of a chance as anyone else who enters. Please enter only once as all duplicate entries will be removed. Need some encouragement? I have just the right kind of thing…

The contest will be running starting today, April 17th until Wednesday, April 23rd at 5pm EST. The winner will be announced the following day, Thursday, April 24. The contest will run for about a week, and then we will announce the winner the day afterward which will still allow you plenty of time to make plans for the show that following Sunday, April 27th. With our usual recap of the show, we’ll post a picture of the winner and their guest!
Let us know what event(s) you would like to see at Rupp Arena below!

THIS CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED - CHECK BACK ON MONDAY, APRIL 21 FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNER
Today marks the start of a contest for one lucky person to win a pair of tickets and a pair of concert T-shirts for Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood’s Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour coming to Rupp Arena on April 26th. This will be a great way for you to get tickets to the show if you missed out. The tickets we are giving away are in Section 22, Row PP. In case you didn’t know, that is located on the end risers in the bottom half of the lower arena. You will be only a number of rows away from the tip of the stage. Here is a map, since visuals are always better. Check it out!

You need to do the following in order to be able to win the tickets and shirts:
- Leave a comment on this post.
- Include in the comment your favorite Keith Urban and /or Carrie Underwood song.
- Be sure to leave the comment under the email address you want us to contact you at if you win.
- Sit back, wait patiently, and enjoy the ‘whole crazy carnival ride.’
Pretty simple huh? We will then run all the comments through our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker-machine to select a winner. Since it is random, as long as you make sure to post your favorite song by either artist, then you have just as good of a chance as anyone else who enters. Please enter only once as all duplicate entries will be removed and passed along to the worst spam mail site we can find (only kidding, although they will be discarded).
The contest will be running from today, April 11th until Friday, April 18th at 12pm EST. The winner will be announced that following Monday, April 21. The contest will run for a week exactly, and then we will announce the winner almost a week before the concert (technically five days), so there is plenty of time to decide which of your friends or family is going to join you in your extra seat. Not only will you be in some great seats, but you will have concert shirts on your back, all courtesy of the Rupp Arena Blog. With our usual recap of the show, we’ll post a picture of the winners! Think about it, you can be super internet famous as the first Rupp Arena Blog contest winner!
Leave your comment with favorite song(s) below and good luck!
