Last Minute Summer Symphony VIP Giveaway! (Giveaway Ended)

Hey Memphis! I've just received word that the Symphony has two VIP tickets under the name "I Love Memphis Blog Readers" for this Saturday night's Summer Symphony at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Isn't that nice of them?

Scroll on to find out how to win.  Giveaway over! Congrats to the winner Jake Trigg!

SummerSymphony

This Saturday's concert is the inaugural Summer Symphony at the Memphis Botanic Garden.  You can sit under the stars and hear our very own Symphony along with Beale Street diva Susan Marshall and her band perform all kinds of music - Porgy & Bess, Star Wars, Susan Marshall originals, and even Adele.

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the gates, which open at 5:30 p.m. The music starts at 7:30 p.m. and you're welcome to bring your chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets. Kids are welcome; their tickets are just $10.

This Saturday's concert is going to be a ton of fun, so buy your tickets right here (you can save $5 by buying them ahead of time), and pack up your Memphis picnic (find suggestions for local picnic items here and here).

How to win:

VIP tickets are $75 per person and include entrance to the VIP tent with hors d'oeuvres and drinks and preferred lawn seating. Buy them here, or if you want to enter to win a pair, leave me a comment telling me who you'll take with you as your +1.

This would be a lovely way to kick off the summer, don't you think?

I'll do a random drawing on Friday, May 27 at 3 p.m., so don't delay in commenting. Be sure to check your email after 3 p.m.

Usually I would take my wife, to give us a night away from our toddler, but my mother is a teacher and today is the last day of school. I would be the perfect beginning to a well-deserved summer break.

If I win the tickets to the Symphony I would take my 14 yr old son Joseph. He over came brain surgery at the age of 10. He likes piano and guitar. I purchased his 1st real acoustic guitar in January. I would like for him to experience the sound of the orchestra in person so that he'll know his dream of playing guitar can and will become reality.

For my +1, I would take my best friend, Katisha. We are both Navy recruiters here in Memphis, she works in Southhaven, and I work in Collierville, but we travel all over the city for work. Advancement results just came out yesterday and she did not pick up her next pay grade. I know she is bummed, although she won't admit it but I think this would be a perfect pick me up for her. She is a great person with a huge heart and a fur momma of 3! We're both big fans of your blog, because neither of us our from Memphis but your blog has turned us on to some awesome and different things to do every week. It's my job every Friday to check your blog to plan our weekend, and both of us are now regulars at things like the roller derby, the Spillit nights and trivia nights. Thanks for all you do!

I would love to take my significant other to hear an outdoor symphony since he had never attended the ones downtown for the Memphis in May. That was the one event I looked forward to every year where I spent the evening with family listening to some amazing music and enjoying the outdoors at the same time. It is a memory I will never forget!
