Have you ever won anything from a radio station?

I won tickets to go see WAR ar Rockefeller's in '97. It was a contest given off kpft so the competition was pretty easy. We got there late, so they ended up giving us a table up by the front row because that was all they had left. It was great. Rudy T was there and he was GETTING DOWN!

 

I won tickets from KPFT to see Robert Cray at Fitzgerald's in 1980...a couple of years before he became well known.

 

i won Astros playoff tickets back in 97 from that oldies station. The only problem was they were for Game 4 and the astros were swept that year

 

twice when i was in Austin. the first time was tickets for a Helmet show, the second was for Metallica tickets in San Antonio. we drove all the way to San Antonio, got lost, missed the show.

both were klbj

 

I won Sting tix from 104 back in '92 when his CD with "Fields of Gold" came out.

Sting rocks.

 

I won four tickets to the first day of the Academy National Invitational last year. It was alright . . . Thing is, since it was only the first day, I had to pay to see the second/third days (went to the third).

 

Yeah. A few times on a sports radio here in Toronto for trivia answers; for example the question was once what current player has the highest career sb %; it was Eric Davis, called in, and won a damned Obusform (sp?) back rest thingie. As I didn't have a bad back or a car, I gave it to my Dad who had both.

A friend of mine used to work the night shift at a gas station when I was in high school, and as he'd be up, alone, late all night listening to the radio, he used to win tickets and stuff like crazy...at least once a month we'd get tix for a concert, often backstage passes, etc. Good times.

 

I won a dozen Pizza Rolls from Double Daves Pizza.

 

A familys' friends' son owns Double Daves. At least the ones in College Station, Woodlands, and the new one in the Champions area.


I have not won anything on the radio. My brother won a couple free cds at Splashtown when 104 was there. You were only allowed to win one cd but when they changed people at the booth, we went back.

 

Man, I need to start doing that in school, it's not like I have anything to do at that time anyways.

 

I've won a number of times. Working nights will do that for ya. Once, about 3 in the AM, I was trying to be the seventh caller for some tickets (I forget who it was for). The DJ answered "hello", and at first I thought I had the wrong number. I asked "What caller am I?", and he said "What caller do you want to be?" and I said "Seventh?" and he said "Congratulations, you win." No enthusiasm in his voice whatsoever. I must have been the only caller he had.

Another time, Dean and Rog had a contest where you had to make your dog bark for a pair of Rocket tickets. I got in, and told them I had two dogs, can I win two pair? They said sure, so I got my dogs fired up and had them both barking. They gave me 4 tickets.

 

MacBeth, I didn't see your post until I posted mine. Working nights is the way to win stuff.

 

Yeah I have won a few things

2 tickets to the Pink Floyd concert @ Rice stadium
A dozen roses for my girlfriend on Valentines Day
2 tickets to Slayer
2 tickets to Del the funky Homosapien
2 tickets to Atmoshpere

a buddy of mine has won all sorts of stuff. concert tickets, auto show tickets, a free four hour sail boat ride...etc.

 

I won tickets to a Rockets game up in the nosebleeds from I think 700 AM (KSEV) or 610 (KILT). I answered a trivia question correctly during a late-night fantasy sports show. I had one of my friends call me the next day and ask "Was that you?!" I started laughing and said "yeah". I rarely called up radio stations for anything, too.

 

Well, looks like I took away their profits on 12 pizza Rolls in College Station.

 

Early '80's...

a KLBJ shot glass and a Who frisbee from the Zoo in Dallas.

 

I won an NCAA 1997 stat book and a rice owls hat from 740 in november of 1997 after answering the following question correctly.

Name 3 of the 4 major winners in golf from 1996?
