Amidst a flurry of last-second entries in our ticket giveaway contest for Sunday’s big Brad Paisley show at Tampa’s Ford Amphitheatre, we have decided upon a winner! Drumroll, please…

The winner is… Debbie! Why? Well, a) she followed the contest rules and both posted a comment in the comments section and emailed us her contact information, and b) she’s the only dang person who wants these things apparently:

I would love to win tickets to Styx and REO Speedwagon. I have been a huge fan of the Chicago bans since I was about 12, especially Styx. They were probably among the most talented bands back in the early 80s, and remain truly amazing today. There is nothing better than watching Tommy Shaw belt out Blue Collar Man or Kevin Cronin dance around the stage as he sings “Roll With the Changes.” I am a lifelong fan and days just do not get better than seeing these two bands in concert. Oh, and did I mention that Jack Blades ROCKS? Night Ranger as an opener?? Even better!!

Many congratulations to Debbie!

If you didn’t make the cut this time, dear reader, take heart, we’ve got tickets to every upcoming show at Ford Amphitheatre. Next up? The 97X Next Big Thing show! We’ll announce details on that contest on Mon., Nov. 23!
