Radio Competitions

Post by Snow »

Any of the other Brits here ever listen or take part in any of the radio comps that Kerrang run every week, if so what have you won?

I know that Bob Garage is a past master at these and I know he won tickets and a meet & greet for Megadeth.

I have won 6 times now and the last one topped them all!
My Winnings so far:
Ladder 49 DVD (simple first to get through on the phone)
Metal Mania: Stripped (Accoustic CD) (text in comp)
Bowling For Soup tickets including a show for 50 people at the radio station (Rock Quiz)
Korn tickets (my son actually won this) in London (He won on my internet account)
Trip to Europe for a weekend (rock Quiz)

Last Week I won the "Hills Have Eyes 2" comp, answer 5 questions in 30 seconds and I won a years pass to the cinema and was entered into the grand prize draw.

The grand prize is:
A trip for two to Las Vegas,
Staying in the MGM Grand hotel for 4 nights.
An Xtreme All-Day Pass to the stratosphere (need to find out what that is! EDIT - Found out what it is and I don't think I will be on any of those rides!!! )
A helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon.
Nevada ATV off road desert adventure
A Sanyo Xacti C40 digital media camera
£250 spending money


All the 5 contestants had to do was to do an assault course, simple eh? oh did I mention it was in a forest? no, how forgetful of me, did I forget to say that it took place at midnight? or that there were people jumping out at you - you couldn't see them until they moved! there were flashbangs and thunder flashes going off all over the place, you were pelted with maggots and worms fired from mini cannons, and to top it all off you had a cameraman shining his poxy camera and its light in your face!

I managed to win that, but I am not sure of the time I did it in. They wouldn't tell us on the night so we had to wait until they announced it on the air on Monday morning. I left my house at 12:45 and got back at 03:30! all that for around 6 minutes on an assault course! great fun :)

So as soon as my confirmation letter gets here I can start planning a holiday :D oh and I might get married while over there as well........

well.......unless I take the girlfriend I guess!

lol

(yes dear I was just kidding ;) )

Until I started listening to Kerrang and shouting the answers at the radio I'd never won anything, with my luck I would be in a marching band (i'd be the one with the piano!)

But remember you've got to be in it to win it :)

Two tickets for velvet revolver @ Machester Apollo (sept 2004)
tickets for music live at the nec (well the missus won them)
4 tickets for slayer (and shitknot) at the birmingham NIA
2 tickets for megadeth at birmingham academy (plus meet and greet)

theres more too but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

it used to be easy to win on kerrang radio but their listener figures has increased massivly and its harder to win these days.

Kick ass man! Vegas is just a few hours away, let me know when you plan to be there and I may be able to schedule a vacation around it.

I know what you mean, however, on my recent visit to Vegas, I did ride the rides at the Stratosphere...

...they terrified me to my very soul.
