Win Tickets to Café Tacvba & Ima Robot at the Greek Theatre
Café Tacvba
As summer goes along, the Greek Theatre is still happening with many outdoor shows. The upcoming schedule includes the Gipsy Kings, Jethro Tull, The Raconteurs, Sigur Rós, The Swell Season, Jason Mraz and more. But today we're featuring and giving two pairs of tickets away to the Friday, August 22 Café Tacvba show, with special guests, Ima Robot (you can get tickets here)
For past contests for tickets to the Greek, we've asked you what to do in Los Feliz and what's so great about Griffith Park. For this contest and in light of the recent scramble diagonal crosswalks being introduced throughout the city, we ask you to tell us where you think one should go as your contest entry. To enter, read the rules below and have fun!
Here's how the contest works:
- Enter the contest by making a comment on this post (below). Comments must fit the criteria, stated below.
- The criteria of the comment must be about where you think a scramble-diagonal crosswalk should go. Maybe you think one needs to be at Ventura and Sepulveda or at Hollywood and Highland. To get some ideas and background on this, check this out.
- You may only enter once.
- The contest closes at 11:59:59 p.m. on Wednesday, August 13, 2008.
- Two winners will be selected at random to receive a pair of tickets and will be notified via the e-mail connected to their LAist.com login. They must confirm the receipt of the e-mail by 5:00 p.m., Thursday, August 14, 2008 or the tickets will be released to another winner.
Good luck!
