I would like to take one of my former employees – Pat, she is a big fan of Trace Adkins; and Toby definitely puts on a great show – Only these two guys together can handle doing ‘American’s Toughest Tour’!

I would love to win tickets to see Toby because I love for what he stands for and that he is such a giving person. Not only that but he is a great entertainer. I had planned to go to Tampa, but because of finances, I was unable to go. He is so supportive of our troops and I am a daughter of a WWII vet, a sister of a Vietnam vet, and a wife of an Air Force Veteran . And proud to be!!! Melanie

I so so so want to win tickets to see Toby!! It would be incredible to win. Not much to say really about it…..money is tight and it was just not in the budget. I’m sure tons of people will enter….all with many great reasons why they should win. In closing all I can say is I’m an average mom with two kids and GREAT fan of Toby who would be estatic to get free tickets to see my all time favorite entertainer.
Thanks for the chance!
Thanksfor considering!

I would love to see Trace Adkins and Toby Keith at the same performance. I can not afford concert tickets this summer but would love to go. My father was killed in WWII and my late husband was a 20-year Air Force veteran. This would give my plenty to tell my 7 grandchildren and soon to be born great grandson.

I don’t have any “poor me” excuses – yeah, I’m poor, who isn’t right now?
I think Toby Keith is hot and he sings great stuff. Never really was a fan of Trace ’til I saw him on the Apprentice – he’s the only gentleman I’ve ever seen on that show…and his voice is better than NyQuil.
Plus, I have Dachshunds, and they will trip you if I don’t win.
AND – to sweeten the pot, I’ll take my mama, and she could probably bake you something. Edible? Maybe. Worth a gamble? Sure, why not?
You rock.

I know this is going to sound ridiculous but I am now battling breast cancer for the third time (yes, I can send you pathology report as proof), and my husband is just the most supportive hubby in the world! He and I both LOVE Trace and Toby and would give anything to enjoy a little country in the middle of my treatment.
I want to reward him for all of the wonderful things he has done for me and continues to stand by my side, even when I am crabby. We have 2 small children that he has stepped up to the plate and really keeps them busy when I really need some healing time.
And yes, this would be for ME too! I absolutely would be drooling over both Trace and Toby…woohooooo. Because of mounting medical bills, we just don’t have the money to spend.
Thanks for your consideration. Oh, I am attaching my hubby’s 3 day /60 mile komen walk link that he is doing this year by himself in my honor!

OK, I would love to win these tickets so I can take my best friend of 20 years. I have not worked in a year and a half, and he has been extremely generous to me the entire time. It would be killer to get him back a little with a monster show like this! it would be for me, too – the last time I saw someone play live was one of our ’strolling minstrels’ on Main.

I think I should win these tickets because my daughter absolutly loves Toby Keith, but I can’t afford to pay for any extra things including concert tickets. She REALLY wants to see him and she has never even been to a concert. She would be extatic if I won these tickets she would love me for the rest of her life. She would be the happies girl in the world.

I am trying to win these tickets for my mama. Her boyfriend is going but she can’t afford the tickets. She hasnt gotten out of the house much since last October because of a car accident and she can’t drive now because she messed up her arm and I want to win these tickets for her because I think she deserves to get out and have fun and it just so happens toby keith and trace atkins are her 2 favorite country singers.
