Golden Plains Triple Pass Up For Grabs

Australia’s “best festival” Golden Plains has been sold out for yonks, but thanks to its merciful organisers M+N is giving you the chance to snare the last (free) tickets in town.

Three wristbands are up for grabs for one lucky winner (that’s more than 800 dollars of value for you maths geeks out there). To enter, simply become a fan on Facebook, and let us know in 80 words or less, your favourite Golden Plains memory. Never been to Golden Plains? Make one up! All entries must be posted as a comment under the corresponding thread on our Facebook page. Confused by all this Web 2.0 malarkey? So are we!

Competition closes on Friday (February 26), midday, with winners announced on the site on Monday. Runner-up will receive a Golden Plains CD pack.

The Golden Plains festival will take place at the Supernatural Amphitheatre in Meredith, Victoria, from March 6-8. Playing times here.

UPDATE: ... and the winner is Tim Keen from Melbourne for this "poignant" contribution in exactly 80 words: "One Monday morning, well past the end of the music, I walked to my campsite, scattered and alone. Metres before my tent I ran into some fellow stragglers who insisted I hold their hands and walk with them. We strolled through the festival, picking up strangers from the wreckage, making a chain of 20 or 30 spanning almost the whole Amphitheatre. We sat at the cliff-face and watched the sunrise together, then silently departed as if we’d been friends forever."

wouldn't know, not part of it.

seems weird to drive people away from your website to one owned by someone else which means they no longer need to visit your website.
