Every once in a while there comes news that stirs excitement in the music scene the world over. When I first learned that one of the biggest bands of the 90's were together again, jamming for the first time in 9 years, I was excited. When I found out that they would be embarking on an international reunion tour, as well as performances at some of the world's most celebrated music festivals (like Cochella, Glastonbury, and Summersonic) I was thrilled.

The Verve, one of the most influential and commercially successful UK alt rock bands in decades (some might argue of all time) are coming to Toronto on May 1st.

blogTO will be there, and we also want a lucky reader to win a pair of tickets to what will undoubtedly be an incredible show. Continue reading for contest entry details...

To win:

The person who places the 40th comment below will win a pair of tickets. No limit on the number of comments you can post. Use a valid email address on the form so we can contact you if you win.

Contest if over. Congrats to our winner, Kevin!

Your contest format sucks. How about giving the public a chance(and I mean a REAL chance), and not just the the few souls who happened to surf by when you posted the blog entry.

@ jerrold

I wasn't aware of the advance warnings about BlogTO contests through the avenues you listed. Good to know. I like BlogTO a lot, and do surf onto the site almost daily(it's been on my blogroll forever). I do appreciate the response. Thanks.
