Go Blue! Ticket Giveaway

April17

*THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED*

I know what you are thinking, “What? Another Giveaway?” After hours of trial and error, various experiments, field research and rigorous testing, I can finally confirm once and for all that there can never actually be too much of a good thing. With that settled, we thought it would be great to run another giveaway on the blog. The show of choice this time around is the highly anticipated Blue Man Group : How to be a Megastar Tour 2.1 which is sure to be one of the most exciting and elaborate shows this year. One random entrant will win a pair of tickets to the show. To enter in the giveaway, we are asking you to comment with the bands/groups/shows that you would like to see come to Rupp Arena. We definitely get a fair share of ‘megastars’ on the arena floor, like the Blue Man Group, but there are so many events out there that we sometimes miss ones that you would love to see.

Follow these easy steps to enter:

Leave a comment on this post.

Include in the comment your top event (or more than one if you would like) that you would like to see come to Rupp Arena. These could be musical acts, sports events, or any other type of event.

Be sure to leave the comment under the email address you want us to contact you at if you win

It is quick, painless, and lets us know what you would like to see come to Rupp Arena so we can try to book them. We will once again run all the comments through our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker-machine to select a winner. Since it is random, as long as you make sure that you suggest at least 1 event you would like to see, then you have just as good of a chance as anyone else who enters. Please enter only once as all duplicate entries will be removed. Need some encouragement? I have just the right kind of thing…

The contest will be running starting today, April 17th until Wednesday, April 23rd at 5pm EST. The winner will be announced the following day, Thursday, April 24. The contest will run for about a week, and then we will announce the winner the day afterward which will still allow you plenty of time to make plans for the show that following Sunday, April 27th. With our usual recap of the show, we’ll post a picture of the winner and their guest!

Let us know what event(s) you would like to see at Rupp Arena below!

Another idea: How about an Americana Fun Show with Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours, the Austin Lounge Lizards, Southern Culture on the Skids and some other fun acts. One night of hilarity!

Abby

Switchfoot or Relient K.

Yes

Justin

AVRIL LAVIGNE!

I tried to get my husband to take me to their show while we were in Vegas...but NOOOOOO....way toooooo expensive! Instead, he took me to see the tribute to the Rat Pack...good show....but not even close to the same superstar-type Vegas glamour show as the Blue Man Group...so here they are now..touring nearby and he wouldn't take me to see them at Rupp either! Jeez! Ok, I digress....anyways...I NEED to win 2 tickets so I can treat Mr. Moneybags to the show and take him as MY guest.

Bill C.

i would like to see more Cage Fighting... maybe even some UFC on tour or something. Kid Rock always puts on a great show too!

Russ

Lets see soo many choices most have already been stated above. Rupp seems to be missing out on most of the rock shows touring and has for some time now. I realize with WKQQ changing from the most powerful radio station in the state (back when it was 98.1and you could pick it up throughout most of the state) to 100.1 (where it can hardly be heard anymore more than 35 or 40 miles out of Lex.) the state of live rock music in Lex has been on a continuous downward spiral. Not saying there haven't been great bands play since then but they are way to far in between shows. Granted when it costs $300+ for 3 or 4 tickets its not like many people can even afford to go to these big shows more than once every couple of years. Anyway it would be nice to see any of these in no specific order...

Metallica, STP, Pearl Jam, Van Halen, Tom Petty, Neil Young, NIN, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, Rage Against the Machine, Black Crowes, REM, Jane's Addiction, Alice In Chains, I am certain there are more but thats all I can think of at the moment that are on tour right now.

Amy A

The Rupp and Kentucky really needs to experience the UFC. The Ultimate Fighting Championship is one of the largest and fastest growing sports to date. The UFC events are ALWAYS sold out. You can expect a packed house. In October 2007 I went to a UFC event in Cinncinatii. It seemed as though the entire city was hold Pre and Post events for all the fans. The Rupp and Lexington could not go wrong with UFC. Get Dana White on the phone and schedule this!!!

Mike Wilson

Van Halen, Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffet, Foo Fighters, Metallica, STP, Doobie Brothers, etc. Lexington is too large to have only a couple of concerts a month.

"GO BLUE... BMG AND UK"

SO VERY LOGICAL THE BLUE MAN GROUP AND RUPP ARENA

another reasonable IDEA might be: FOR RUPP ARENA TO HOST:

A "KENTUCKY LEGENDS CONCERT" I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME...
WITH NEW UP AND COMING YOUNG PERFORMERS
(i.e.KENTUCKY SASSAFRAS and other individuals and groups)
FROM MULTIPLE GENRES...
"BLUEGRASS TO BLUES AND BEYOND"
AND SOME "KENTUCKY LEGENDS" SPRINKED IN
DWIGHT YOAKAM OF COURSE...
WYNONA JUDD MAYBE...
JOHN CONLEE...
SAM BUSH
SONG WRITERS LIKE NORO WILSON AND JERRY CHESTNUT... Simply
LOOK TO THE KENTUCKY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM FOR A GREAT LIST OF HONORED PERFORMERS

RedBarn Radio has introduced many up and coming performers by providing a stage for live performances as well as hosting established performers.

Perhaps we might get on the touring schedule for the Metropolitan Opera when they make their schedule, would have been nice to get on the 2010 tour...with the equestrian games going on, it would show a bit of culture. When the games are in town, how about something big in the style of Bluegrass? Getting off of concerts and music, how about bringing in some folks on the lecture circuit...we haven't had anything like this in Lexington since the Central Kentucky Concert and Lecture series went under a few decades ago.,,

I would love to see Rush have a concert here and possible Tenacious D!!!

They could probably tour together, although it would never happen. But why not? They both have a kinda rock ballad similarity in some of their songs.

I would love to see Blue Man Group. I've heard great things about the show. Wish me luck!

Laurie

Blue Man Group is so amazing and creative! There is nothing else like them! I have never seen them in person and would love to attend one of their performances!

I would love it if you could get Jeff Dunham to come to Rupp Arena! If not him, then Terry Fator who won the 'America's Got Talent' competition!!

Go Big BLUE MAN GROUP!!

My oldest daughter got to see the bluemen in Chicago on a school trip and it would be VERY nice to take my other 2 kids to see them in Lexington!!

Tammy and Barry Gorham

We saw Blue Man Group at The Charles Theatre in Boston last year, and we just loved them!!! It was the most unusual and entertaining show we had ever seen. My husband's birthday is that weekend, and these tickets would make a great present.
Can't wait to see them again!

Tammy and Barry Gorham

We saw them in The Charles Theatre in Boston and had one of the best experiences of our lives! Great fun for everyone! We would love to see U2 at Rupp again. Also, Sting, Annie Lennox, Tom Petty, Diana Krall, James Taylor, etc. We have seen them in Cincinnati and Louisville, so why shouldn't we be able to get them here in Lex?

Gail

would love to see more Bluegrass bands at Rupp

Mary

Thanks for bringing Blue Man Group back. We saw the show last year and I am still dancing!

I agree with the people posting lists of legendary rockers who should come to LEX.

We saw Bruce in Cincy and it was a religious experience.

Peter Gabriel PLEASE!! His shows are amazing.

Thanks. Bye.

Andra Napier

I would like to see one of the Cirque acts at Rupp. Also, what about some of the big broadway musicals. I know The Opera House does these but their venue is just too crowded. Some of the taller men can't even fit in their seats. Thanks, Andra.

The biggest rock band in the world: U2.
Work with Alltech to bring them here for the Equestrian Games.
I know this would be the 3rd Rupp visit for the 4 mates from Ireland. Although the 1st time in the 80s Bono had lost his voice, the visit during the Elevation tour rocked my socks.

If anyone reads this and knows any way to get me 2 discount tickets to Blue Man this weekend, I sure would love to take my son. He's loves watching them on videos. E-mail nate@uky.edu. Thanks.
