I read this and got all excited.  Then I read the "Official Contest Rules."  This contest is for 2 tickets only (valued at $200).  No airfare, no accommodations.  They will announce the winner on July 28.  The concert is on July 31.  How are you supposed to make flight and hotel arrangements on such short notice? 

When I went to NMS back in  May I had all my arrangements made months ahead of time.  Trying to get a flight at that late date will be nearly impossible, not to mention costing an arm and a leg.  As much as they said this contest is open to residents of the United States (excluding Puerto Rico) and Canada (excluding Quebec), in my opinion it's aimed at Chicago residents.  Who else would be able to get to a concert in a city not their own on such short notice?  Again, that's just my opinion.  I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from entering.  I might even write up something myself.  I'm just curious as to why they are only giving the winner three days' notice to get her or himself to Chicago for the show.
