Toronto Raptors – This one’s for the Ladies!

December 13, 2010 Nat OT, Raptor Ramblings

Earlier this season, Molson invited myself and a group of local Raptor bloggers to take in a game from their new MGD luxury box. What used to be 4 seats for the “Best Seats in the House” is now a full box for 12 guests with personal servers and a great selection of food and drinks. It was definitely an experience to take in a NBA game from there. The good folks at MGD have made the box available to me so I can extend this experience to readers of the blog.

Over the last 2 years, I have had the opportunity to meet some hardcore female fans through the blog and wanted to make this night about them. It’s rare that someone makes a promotion catered for us and this seemed like the perfect chance. So here is how it goes, I have 4 spots still available and if you are over the age of 19 and a female, you could be at the Raptors game on January 2nd vs. the Boston Celtics.

If you are a female Raptor fan — I want to hear from you! If you know someone who this is perfect for — pass on the info. If you don’t fit the criteria, its not all bad news. MGD has great contests to attend many sporting events, including Toronto Raptors games, so you should definitely follow them on Facebook to get in on that.

How to be considered:

  • Give the MGD and Heels on Hardwood Pages a LIKE on Facebook
  • Leave a comment here about how you became a Raptors fan
  • Make sure you leave your proper e-mail so Molson and myself can contact you

Rules

  • You must be over the age of 19 and a female
  • You may be asked to participate in some kind of recap post game for the blog
  • All comments must be posted by Thursday Dec. 16th 2010

November 9, 2010 Nat OT, Raptor Ramblings

Carrying on with my yearly tradition on the blog, it’s time to give away a pair of tickets to see the Toronto Raptors live at the ACC. The Charlotte Bobcats are in town and you have a chance to catch the game from my own personal seats. The seats are right in the action, just a few rows from the Raptor bench. This is a rare opportunity for a deserving fan to take in the NBA game experience. I want to make sure everyone has a shot at them so its time to bring out your Raptor Pride. Here is what you need to do…

Take the letters R – A – P – T – O – R – S and come up with a creative line or word for each of the letters.

You can make it personal, funny or simple. The person who comes up with the best post wins the tickets. Simple right? (Make sure you read all the details below)

Update: Thanks to the overwhelming and awesome responses, Steve from Raptorman has offered up a pair for the runner up. These are in the 3rd row of the upper bowl. Also, please give my Facebook page a follow for more freebies in the future.
