I was told it depends on the venue. Hope we can fit some more Eskimos in

The page to apply to win is still up, so maybe they aren't done! Or, maybe they are going alphabetically. I'm still thinking optimistically!

When I won to see Ed Sheeran, they did 3 or 4 waves of notifications. Definitely keep some realistic hope and try the other giveaways.

Hey I know it was a busy day on other threads but anyone else get a confirmation? Maybe in their SPAM folder?

So far only one eskimo and one eskimo friend(pun intended) has gotten tickets. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nothing here. I seriously think they are ageist and only pick younger fans.

I think it may skew young due to the omnipresence of social media with younger people. Probably a lot of young entries. I did see some older fans at the Rufus Wainwright show I went to, so I don't think they do it deliberately.

Another friend of mine found out he won today. I'm going to throw together something for the art contest tonight.

Do you know what time the show is on Monday? Has anyone found out yet? Planning for the best case fantasy scenario; it takes some serious magic tricks for me to vanish from Boston and show up in Brooklyn.

Thinking I will book my train ticket today in hopes I have won.

If not I can put it toward my train ticket to NYC on April 4th

I love the attitude Mike! See you Monday at the show. I haven't got tickets yet, but expect to be there.

I'm still waiting...I guess if it's meant to be, I'll be there. And if not, I'll be heartbroken but thrilled for those of you that will be there!

I don't know if everyone's seen the Lexus competition. I only counted 12 entries on Instagram, though there are probably way more on Twitter and/or Facebook. Still, worth a shot: http://artistsden.com/damienrice-lexusartistsden

They announce the winners of these sponsor contests on Friday, so I think it would be fun to see what others submit for these contests. I'm sure I won't win the Samsung art contest, but it was fun playing around a bit.

Ha, I know exactly who those people were And yeah I also think it is random. Also, I do recall someone that didn't get RW tickets, show up early at the venue and become someone's +1...so you can always try!
They usually put people on the guest list with a +1 and they sometimes show up alone, cant hurt to ask people in the queue!

I've no doubt that there are more entries from younger people, which obviously increases the number of winners in that age group.

I find it difficult to believe it's random because among my friends, all of us over the age of 35, only one of us has been chosen for a show, and that was for Squeeze - not exactly a band that the younger generation would be dying to see.

I've entered for perhaps 10 shows, friends of mine enter all of them, yet our success rate is very poor.

I'll be happy to do that, if someone would be kind enough to pm the venue information.
