Contest! Beat the Box Office and Win Broken Bells Concert Tickets (Toronto show)

Ordinary people have to wait until Friday at 10:00am for a chance to buy tickets to see the Danger Mouse / James Mercer group Broken Bells at their March 3, 2014 Toronto show at the Danforth Music Hall. But fans of PeteHatesMusic are no ordinary people – you can enter a contest to win a pair of tickets right now. This is a chance for you to Beat The Box Office, and no physical violence is required for the beating.

I don’t think we parked around here

Forming in 2009, Broken Bells combined vocalist James Mercer of The Shins with the elegant production work of Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse. They released their self titled debut in 2010 and are following it up in 2014 with After The Disco.

Broken Bells – Holding On For Life

So what do you have to do to win this prizes? It’s simple (sort of).

No one likes rules (except for those lawyer-type people), but there are a few for this contest. There’s no purchase necessary and we won’t share your information with anyone. You must enter via Twitter (explained below), and there’s only one entry per person – anyone found with multiple Twitter entries is a loser (in both life and the contest). Please – do not retweet the heck out of this thing, either – like bedside beers, one is enough. Just follow us on Twitter, do the tweet we ask you to do, and one of these fantastic albums could be yours.

How to enter – Twitter

Step 1 – Follow @PeteHatesMusic on Twitter. If you already follow us, you’re awesome (or you’re a family member).
Step 2 – Tweet the phrase below.

The contest ends on Friday, November 15 at 9:30am EST / 6:30am PST (although I don’t expect any Pacific coast entries). This is so you can buy tickets at 10:00am just in case you don’t win.

We are giving away one pair of tickets to the show to one lucky person. Following us on Twitter does not enter you into the contest – you must tweet the above phrase in addition to following us. You must also not have a locked/private Twitter account because then we can’t see you retweet us!

Broken Bells – The High Road

Simple, right? Okay, not really. Anyway, if you win, @PeteHatesMusic will send you a direct message on Twitter to gather your address information, and we’ll ship you one pair of Broken Bells tickets for their March 3 show at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. It’s up to you to figure out how to get there, as transportation is not provided. Maybe buy some Big Wheels? Good luck!
