The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents, siblings, grandparents, children, grandchildren and cohabiting significant others.

 

  1. An individual may win an on-going contest only once per six-month period unless otherwise specifically stated.  An individual may win other seasonal or one-time contests only once for the duration of the contest.

  1. To enter the Contest, attend one or more of the weekly Thursday events (announced the Monday prior to each Thursday event) during the Contest Period and provide a “performance” in front of The Ticket video camera set up at the event.  Performances should be based on or reflect the topic of the week, which will be announced on the Monday prior to each event.  The video camera will record participant performances from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.   The time limit for each performance is two minutes.  One (1) performance per person per week will be accepted.  All contestants will be required to provide their name, address, phone number and email when they sign up to perform and execute a waiver of liability and photo release granting the Station the right to use the video.

Starting on October 7, 2013 at 5pm CDT and running through October 13, 2013 at 5pm, all 12 qualifiers will have their performance video placed on The Ticket website at www.theticket.com for voting by visitors to the website.  The performance video with the most votes at the conclusion of the voting period will be deemed eligible for the Grand Prize.  In the event of a tie, a random drawing between the  performance videos with the most votes will determine the winner.  If it is determined that a candidate for the grand prize is not eligible to receive the prize, in the Station’s sole judgment and discretion, the candidate with the second highest number of votes will be selected for eligibility consultation and this process will continue on until such time as an eligible candidate for the prize is found.  In the unlikely event that no candidates are found to meet the specifications, then the prize will go un-awarded.
