Win Celtic Thunder Concert Tickets!

album cover kinda looks like Obama needing a shave..

btw, NONE of those cities is near me.

I deserve a night out because I work full time and run a ferret shelter with the rest of my time. I rarely see my husband because he usually works 6 days a week and our schedules are opposite each other. I also deserve a night out because I'm really, really, really burned out and need something fun to recharge my batteries.

None are even close to where I live!

None are near me:) Good luck to all!!

bummer....not close to us for the tickets this time.

AWESOME! I certainly could use a reason to head to Chicago via my hometown of St Louis to hear this amazing group!

By golly I would love the CD alone!

My last significant trip away from home was to visit my brother in the Hospital.
I haven't been to Chicago since I was a child watching that same brother graduate from Navy boot camp and I have a friend there I haven't seen in many, many years!

We have been working on building a house for the last 2 years and 5 months, with our own hands, no heavy equiptment, no crews, no loans. We are "this" close to completing the external framing and jokingly talked with a neighbor last night of how we might celebrate this significant phase of our life. I think this just might be fitting!

And can you imagine Celtic Thunder music wafting out through the woods this winter while we begin work on the inside of the house addition to the chorus of local wild birds and the crackling of a warm fire..I sure can!

It's too bad that the tickets are always for major cities that are far from where I'm at. There are a couple of venues that they will be at that are actually near me.

Good luck to all hoping to win!!!!

I'm with Heather, all too far away. Alas, they will be in COlumbus this Sunday, but I'm too broke to buy ticket, and my birthday is just a couple weeks away...heavy sigh...lol

as usual, nothing near me!

nothing near me for this contest. They're appearing in Detroit TODAY.

I would love to go to the Boston, MA concert!~

Good luck to everyone that enters

Baltimore, MD - November 7th

I think sometimes I deserve a medal; but I will settle for a night out!

Ok, so, for the most part I feel like I'm a pretty ordinary woman, have an ordinary life, have ordinary problems, yada yada yada. But, then there are sometimes I feel like I deserve a medal!!!!! or at least a night out. Now, obviously I know there are many other people out there who have WAY more problems than me. And, I know for certain that I am a lucky & blessed woman. However, if I can for one minute have a pity party (or maybe at least pat my own self on the back), I feel like given the circumstances of our busy life, I handle it all fairly well.

I know my life is no different than any other duel-working parent's life. We just deal with it. But, every once in a while, in the midst of the chaos of our life, I do think to myself - I deserve a medal for this! But I would settle for a night out! Obviously those thoughts are few & far between. But, seriously, our life is stressful, and I guess what I'm doing right now is giving my own self a pat on the back for dealing with it all... and for realizing that what we are going through is what we've chosen to go through. Chuck & I are happy. He is doing failrly well after his sugery. So, I guess I'm basically giving both of us a 'pat on the back' because I think over the last year we have dealt with a lot of stress - and at the end of the day we love our life, have fun together & we enjoy our life, stress & all!

And, it isn't always easy, but we get through the struggles & even though every week we have to plan & coordinate our work schedules & coordinate babysitters, people to let the dog out, etc - we do it. And, on most days, that is just our regular day to day life. But, then on some days I look back on my challenging week & say to myself "I deserve a medal or a night out." - not for doing this, but for doing this & dealing with it, and not taking my frustrations of our chaotic life out on Chuck or the grankidskids I am raising.

So, I'm done now. That was my one "pat on the back" for what we've gone through the past year. I fully realize that the struggles we go through in our family are miniscule to what other people are going through, and I do realized that we are blessed! But it would be awfully nice to have a night out.

I honestly can't think of any reason I should win more than several people that have already posted. In fact, today I would likely hand over the tickets, as I am finally feeling a little better. I can stand up and not feel dizzy. I was ready to go to the doctors office yesterday.

Because I work really really hard and I cant remember the last night I went out! Its been over 10 years since Ive been to a concert and it would be nice to go to another one! Id like Chicago if Im chosen!

I deserve a night out because I work so hard to provide a romantic, restful place where everyone else can come to relax... Every once in awhile it would be nice to be the person who gets to go away and relax. I own and operate a B&B and tea house. My husband is a pastor. When we have an infrequent night off, or the rare opportunity to go and do something, we're usually so tired we just stay home. Or, we feel guilty spending the money... Yes, I could use at night off. Celtic music is my favorite and Minneapolis is only 2 short hours away....

I would love to win a set of tickets for Baltimore. I would love them for my daughter and her husband who just had a beautiful baby boy. It wasn't an easy pregnancy, illness and diabetes and then after my daughter came down with an infection that got into her bloodstream. She spent a week in the hospital. Once home she continued to struggle with other issues, the flu, pink eye and an incision that refuses to heal. She's terribly discouraged. She and her husband could sure use a night away together.

Being a mother of three, I almost never get to go out and be a grown up.

Chicago - December 17

I deserve a night out because I haven't been to a single musical event this year!

I love the symphony, Irish music at the pub, big name rock concerts with thousands of people, chamber groups playing to less than a hundred people, jazz or blues at Chicago dives, really all kinds of music.

Yet this year, I haven't been to a single event.

The reason? Call it the economy. Call it my dodgy health issues. Call it laziness or lack of organization, but I haven't been since 2007! I need a night out with live music. Who doesn't?

I deserve a night out because I have been sitting in front of my computer every night talking to other Celtic Thunder fans and living vicariously through their concert experiences! (BTW, the show is GREAT!) I take care of my 83 year old father, so I never get out of the house on my own. I could really use a break. I would make arrangements for Dad and travel to the LA show!

I would love to go to the LA show - single mom, 2 teenage boys - yes, am in desparate need of a night out!

I deserve a night out because I am elderly and live on a fixed income and have not been able to go out for quite some time. Tickets are too expensive for me to buy and I am really a fan of Celtic Thunder. There are very few groups that I have wanted to see but I really love these guys and want to see them perform live. I am on the computer with other Celtic Thunder fans every night and listening to their experiences has made me so envious . This is the only way I will get to see Celtic Thunder and I really want to see them.
I want the tickets for the Los Angeles show at the Nokia theatre.

I live a very happy life on a daily basis--kind of the Dave Ramsey slogan of "I'm doing better than I deserve." About the only case I can make for myself is I think a night out would be a lot of fun.

My husband and I would be willing to drive or fly up for the Chicago, IL - December 17th show if selected. My husband has an uncle who lives there and could get us through what will probably be the coldest day I've ever experienced, lol.

Thanks for the opportunity.

not a one anywhere near me! i suppose i could fly! i love celtic music!


i deserve a night out (who doesn't after all?!) because i work long hours and barely find time for myself. it is wedding season for yours truly right now, so even my weekends are cram packed full of rushing to hair/nail/tan/dress fitting appts. that i really don't get a moment to just relax . . .

None of the giveaway dates are near me, but I can't complain, since I just won the Neil Diamond tix for my area from Gather. Thank you, thank you!

Aw, too bad you're not giving away for the philly date!

Is second prize 2 pairs of tickets?

Oh my, Oh my, Oh my...

You have asked a very important question... Why do I deserve a night out... I am a 28 year old college student, who sadly is on an extreme tight budge especially since I do not work while I am in school. Do you know how hard it is to have a social life or heck even go out and enjoy life when you are taking 6 courses in one semester, with no car, and oooo again no funds since you do not work... It is very hard and that is why I need this..

Boston.

October 14, 2008 Detroit, MI Fox Theatre"

Nice. Notify me about this the day AFTER they were in Detroit.

I don't deserve a night out. WE (my fiance and I) deserve a night out. If we won the Chicago tickets we would make a weekend out of it!

Chicago, IL - December 17th

I'd love a night out but I'd like to enter it for my mom: My mother deserves a night out! Since my father passed away, my mother has (naturally) struggled during the holidays. Attending this concert would be a great pick-me-up for her. She's also had a few more recent struggles (and wouldn't be happy if I went into detail, so I will not, but suffice to say, it's been very difficult, at times.)

She loves music and particularly enjoys Celtic music. We pitched in for tickets to Riverdance many, many years ago and she still raves about the wonderful music and lively performance.

It would be a blessing if you could help my mom have a little more joy this holiday season.

Thank you for the opportunity!

Best,
Barb

I wish I could, but none are close enough to me, and the one that is the closest is in the middle of a week. Good luck to all!

I would love to be entered to win the tickets for Baltimore Maryland. I would like to win them for my parents who live in Maryalnd. I think they could def use a night out. My Dad just found out he is being laid off for the winter they could def use a night out and I think they would enjoy this concert.

I think I deserve a night out because I never got to have a honeymoon when I got married Dec. 10, 2006. My honey and I have been too broke to go anywhere and do anything that even resembles a honeymoon or vacation. If we went we'd either go to Minneapolis or Chicago. Those are both close enough to us not to chew up the gas tank.

Sounds great but none closeby. Good luck to all !

Oooh, I would love a night out at a concert. Frankly, I never get out. I'm not into the bar scene and there really isn't much else to do around here. I would definitely want to hit up the Minneapolis concert. How exciting!

Good luck to those in those cities!

My sister and I could use a night out, she leaves for school soon and I hardly get to see and do anything with her anymore because we are always booked. A night together doing something fun in Chicago right before the holiday would be awesome.

It's the middle of December, my family is exhausted from the rush to complete school Winter concerts, art shows, and tests. We reflect on the breaks, both good and bad, that have happened to us since school began last fall. Our senior breaking her leg and having to navigate the school halls via wheelchair; our beloved cockatiel, Elvis, becoming paralyzed due to a tumor in his stomach; and the addition in our hearts and sometimes when we're lucky in our lives of a long-lost family member. Whew!

"So," I shout out, "who's ready to see the Celtic Thunder?!!" In a hushed voice I say to my husband, "I'm so glad we won these tickets. It's exactly what we needed." Then we bundle into the car and drive to downtown Minneapolis for a great show and this time we won't be watching it on TV.

I deserve a night out because this could be a great night to get together with my friend who is going to be 66. She is like a mother to me and this would such a treat for her

The Baltimore one is "close enough" to home for Terry and I to make it!

She is the one that truly deserves a night out. A Hard working lady who keeps on giving it her all for those that she loves and cares about! She also finds the time while doing that to shine at her job and show the people that come into her bank branch that they are not just customers and that she cares about them and their concerns.

She does all of this while putting up with a lunatic like me. Now if that alone doesn't make her a deserving lady for a night out and much more, I don't know what would.

She is also a big fan of the Celtic Music!

great contest! good luck everyone!

Sounds like a unique band. Unfortunately I will be in L.A. when they are in Boston and in Boston when they are in L.A. and won't be in or near any of the cities in between. Congrats to whoever wins!

Sounds wonderful!

Good luck to whoever wins!

I think my mother may be Celtic Thunder's number one fan! I would love to win tickets to the LA concert so I could take her for her birthday in November. She is a very sweet spirited person who gives all she has to help others in need. My mom is a widow and has struggled with Multiple Sclerosis for 30+ years. She currently lives in a two bedroom apartment which she has opened up to me and my four children as cramped as it is to live with her. It would be a grand blessing for her to have a night out just to enjoy the music she adores. It is extremely difficult for her to listen to any music with all the ruckus of people coming and going. But when she does find a quiet moment in the day or night, her number one pick is Celtic Thunder. I think she has watched the same concert about 40 times on KCET or KDOC not sure which. But I know it would make an ultimate birthday gift from her family and her favorite singing group Celtic Thunder. Thanks for listening.

The winners are:

Boston - Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~.
Baltimore - Trish A.
Los Angeles - Wanda Corn
Minneapolis - Samantha H.
Chicago - Beth G.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Thanks so much for the tickets to Celtic Thunder in Los Angeles. It was a fantastic show and I loved every minute.
