Title: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by laurengoo on Aug 22nd, 2007, 12:31pm
OMG!!!!! I WON TICKETS FROM 96.3 WDVD TO SEE THE GOOS ON SUNDAY!!! I WAS CALLER 25!!!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! THIS IS AMAZING.

The DJ did say that since I'm not a Michigan resident, but it shouldn't be a problem.

The first time I called I was caller 13 and to keep trying...and then I called two more times and HE ANSWERED THE PHONE AND I WAS LIKE YOU'RE KIDDING???

*faints*

OMG! Thanks so much you guys...I think we did get closer seats.
They did tell me that since I am not a resident of Michigan that there is a slight chance I might not get it, but since it's not a big show that they'll probably let me.

Nicole, you and me, we might be first row if I win in the ultimate draw!!
I'm crossing my fingers  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Shannon, it was Jake Edwards!!

Okay, more practice time:

"What?  Did I say Lauren from Windsor?  I'm actually Shannon from MI and totally eligible."  :D

If you win front row, I will come to your house, get on my knees, and worship you as you come out to the car.

They're giving away tickets until 9:00pm tonight.
You should listen to the station and call in.

Yes, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  ;D
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by Shannon on Aug 22nd, 2007, 7:11pm
Are they doing the drawing in the morning or afternoon?

A couple years ago I won front row to John Mayer through 96.3. It was the same thing. You won something early in the week and your name went into the drawing. I actually won! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you Lauren. And, if the drawing's not in the morning I'll actually listen. ;)

No.  I programmed 2 stations into my phone for a contest in which I failed miserably.  At least your efforts are paying off.  :D

Post by Shannon on Aug 23rd, 2007, 10:33am
Lauren....how are you going to get the tickets you won? Are they overnighting them? Will call? U pick them up?

Hold onto your current tickets. You may find that they're better than the ones you won. 10th row is pretty good.
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by djgeneral on Aug 23rd, 2007, 11:56am
I woke up at 6 AM >:( only to find out no tickets until after 12PM!!! >:( >:( >:(

Then I turned off the radio to eat for 40 mins and as I was turning it on they said "congrats you won!!! last chance tomorrow"

so im assuming it was Goo? THIS sucks.
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by djgeneral on Aug 23rd, 2007, 12:08pm
Turns out, it was something else!!

They said tickets are coming up before 2

Yes. I heard. Someone named Leslie or Lisa won. But he did say there's another chance with Jesse after 3pm. Keep listening!

Oh yeah, I'm not giving up my current tickets until I find out what new seats I got. If they are closer, I'm obviously going to take the closer ones and sell the other ones.

Jake Edwards told me that promotions should be calling me by Friday and I will be able to pick them up at the box Office at Freedom Hill.
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by djgeneral on Aug 23rd, 2007, 8:19pm
I really wish I would've won lol I listened to the radio todasy for like 8 hours...maybe if someone has any extra tickets (closer than row 20 ;)) they can trade me for mine and sell those. or give them away or what not
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by laurengoo on Aug 24th, 2007, 9:57am
Okay, 96.3 called me and I found out I got lawn seats.


So Nicole, we're staying where we are.

I know!! :S

My sister doesn't know if she wants to go anymore because she won't know how to get there.


What am I going to do with two extra tickets??
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by djgeneral on Aug 24th, 2007, 10:40am
Just leave them at the box office for someone who needs two tickets.

Do you think it is because you are not in Michigan? Maybe they could only give you lawn seats. I find it hard to believe that they would only be giving out lawn seats.
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by Shannon on Aug 24th, 2007, 10:52am
Yeah. I would have figured you'd at least get seats in the pavillion area. Lawn seats!?! That is beyond lame.

Yeah I know, it sucks, but I think I've found someone who I can give the tickets away to.
I'm just waiting for her to call me back.

Post by Shannon on Aug 24th, 2007, 11:10am
If you would have had 3 instead of two I would have had my hubby bring my two kids. They would have been fine on the lawn. But that's okay. I'll be a nervous wreck for the meet and greet so I can't be worrying about them ;)

Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. I won one through the IM. I've had my name in the lottery for all the shows on this tour and finally won. I was shocked!
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by djgeneral on Aug 24th, 2007, 12:34pm

Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by laurengoo on Aug 24th, 2007, 1:21pm
Yeah, if it was just one extra ticket your kids could've come.

Oooo! I'm so excited for you.

Next time they come to Detroit for sure I'm crossing my fingers!! I'd love to win a M&G...

Don't choke up!!
Title: Re: I WON!!!!!!!!!!
Post by Shannon on Aug 24th, 2007, 1:37pm
I won't choke up and cry. If anything I just won't know what to say. But it helps that I've met them before. Getting that first meet & greet out of the way really helps.....that one I choked BIG TIME and said nothing. Nicole knows.....she was with me ;)

Hahaha.  I choked right along with you.  Of course, while we were in line I was also saying "You know, I DON'T want to meet the band.  What am I doing in line?"

And you'll do fine.  :D

I don't remember you saying that. But to be honest I don't remember much of anything other than the sound of the blood rushing in my head and my heart practically beating out of my body.

I'm debating the whole picture thing. I might post it once and that'll be it. I hate my picture posted on the internet.

It just never came up in conversation.  And now it's gotten to the point where it's like "And you haven't told us this yet WHY?"  ::)  I just told some of my friends a couple hours ago and they just told me I was crazy.
