Title: Win Tickets to Voices of Angels at 3Arena in Dublin! Post by: CWazyTom on July 05, 2017, 06:27PM I feel like this news is soooooo awesome it needs its own thread.
https://www.facebook.com/celticwoman/posts/10155493732992838 Win a trip to Ireland to see Celtic Woman perform their 'Voices of Angels' show in the 3Arena, Dublin. Click the link below to enter - you will receive a bonus entry if you share this message with your friends After the last competition, I decided to read some of the fine print: https://woobox.com/offers/rules/bmaxsc Everyone should read the fine print, but here are some key points: - There is no entry fee and no purchase necessary to enter this competition - Competition entrants must be 18 years old or more on the date of entering the competition - The prize consists of a trip to Ireland for two people, to see Celtic Woman perform in the 3Arena, Dublin on 2 September 2017. - Return flights from the USA to Ireland and two night’s accommodation will be covered by Celtic Woman Ltd. The prize is non-transferable. - No cash alternative to the prizes will be offered. I mean I understand some people just won't be able to go, but come on ... a cash alternative vs a dream come true? - The winner will be notified by email and/or letter within 14 days of the closing date - The winner agrees to the use of his/her name and image in any publicity material - The competition will run every week for four weeks beginning Monday 3 July and ending Monday 31 July 2017 Considering I can't absorb the cost of another trip this year, this is pretty much my only chance to go see the DVD recording. Anyways, good luck everyone! Title: Re: Win Tickets to Voices of Angels at 3Arena in Dublin! Post by: avalonfreak06 on July 06, 2017, 12:02PM This concert is now turning into a PBS special!!!!

Title: Re: Win Tickets to Voices of Angels at 3Arena in Dublin! Post by: CWazyTom on July 15, 2017, 04:01PM Well, this is now officially my only foreseeable chance of seeing this concert.
And even if I win it I'm probably still going to feel bad about it because I know that for me to live this dream of mine, I know it would just leave someone else devastated. #catch22 Title: Re: Win Tickets to Voices of Angels at 3Arena in Dublin! Post by: CWazyTom on September 29, 2018, 02:38PM I've been going back and looking at some old posts today (I have to migrate some old forum content over to the new forum).
I knew that contest was going to a longshot as there were only 4 winners. But I was kind of heartbroken at the time that I was going to miss another Celtic Woman DVD recording. I actually considered booking a trip to Ireland on short notice just to see the DVD recording and a couple of other things, but there wasn't enough time to do research and scramble something together. It also would have been difficult financially at that particular time. I'm reminded, as I often am, of a quote from Amy Rivard: "what's yours can't pass you by." It means that what's meant to be will often find a way, sometimes in ways and at times we least expect. Even doors that get slammed in your face may not be closed forever. Even though I didn't win this contest, it did start a rather important process. It was the first time I actually looked seriously at visiting Ireland. I started thinking about what kinds of things I wanted to see over there and I started wanting to go really badly. That all set the stage for me to be able to put together a 12-day trip on 5 week's notice this year to go see Ireland and to not only finally see Celtic Woman at a DVD recording, but to do so at a beautiful castle in Ireland. |
