did someone win??

4TH TIME ASKING PLZZZZZZZZ PICK ME I LOVE GREENDAY AND LADY GAGA

Enter to win 3-day passes to Chicago?s loudest weekend of the summer at Lollapalooza. www.youswoop.com/lollapalooza

I already have two tickets bought to Lollapalooza, but some stuff came up recently so I do not have enough money to go this year. If I win I will give my two tickets to someone else for free(instead of trying to sell them). If I win not only will I get to go for free, but someone that I know will get two free tickets to Lollapalooza. I wonder if this is a random drawing or if someone actually reads these and makes a decision. When I click on the terms and conditions it doesn't say anything except terms and conditions lol. Wonder if that is a bug or if that is telling me something =).

Bee-cuz I'm just that effing awesome. And hot. Why shouldn't I win? OK, I'll ask nicely: preeeetty pleeeeezzzeee?

My best friend & I really need these tickets! We're huge fans of nearly all of the artists performing (but especially Lady Gaga, Green Day, & Stars!), and would love to have this chance to enjoy great music & a beautiful city. In fact we we're hoping to make it our vacation for the summer, but since we're both working college students, we simply don't think we're going to have enough money to go. Please help us Blastro!

Please, please, pick me. 1) you would not have to buy our flights because we are local to Chicago. 2) you would be making the dreams of 4 people come true with just your two tickets. I'll explain. I am a music lover and also the mom of two very cool little boys. We took them to Lollapalooza last year (just one day passes) and it was one of the best days we've ever had. The only thing my boys want to do this year is go to Lollapalooza again. What's more...there favorite band is headlining. There are a lot of acts that I would want to see, but my young sons are OBSESSED with Green Day. I mean, crazy, all the words, non-stop Green Day. My sons are 3 and (almost) 5. This is not a fad for them. It is the second birthday in a row that the only requests have been Green Day related. I am searching everywhere and asking everyone I can think of to find a way to get my boys to the Green Day show. I am good with letting them stay up for a headline show, I just desperately need to find a way to get special access so I can safely bring my kids to watch their heroes on stage. They watch youtube videos of GD and practice their rock star moves. I am not going to lie. We are not wealthy people (my husband is an electrician and I raise our two young boys) it would be such a blessing for my husband and I to get VIP passes to Lolla. We cherish live music and this greatest gig in Chicago. But, on Saturday, it would be a life changer for my boys if I could get them to a safe viewing spot to see Green Day. I hope you will consider us. Big hugs just for reading this far. xoxo ariella

I've been waiting for the line-up to come out for Lollapalooza this year since last year. I heard some speculations and when it was finally announce, I was ecstatic. I've been dying to see Green Day; it would be EPIC. This would be the highlight of my year because I feel like things have been falling apart in my life. Things have just been really hard for me and I'm just beginning to get back up on my own two feet again. Beside that, I have a friend who's been really helping me get through the mess I've been in. I'd love to bring him with to thank him for all that he's done for me. He means a lot and I really appreciate all that he's done, so beside getting a really fun trip for myself to relieve some stress, I can also express how much he means to me. It seriously would be the trip of a lifetime.

I have always wanted to attend more than anything but something has always prevented me. Currently, its that I cannot afford to go. I have just completed college and have loans and payments starting to overwhelm me because I don't have a full-time job lined-up yet. I'm also one of my only friends that has never been to Chicago (living in mpls) and I want nothing more than to be able to celebrate my best friend's birthday with her there.

My hometown Chicago has the best music festival! The best city, the best music, the best friends! Make my summer complete by getting me into Lollapalooza. No flights or hotels needed. I just want to be a part of the festival I don't want to miss this summer in my hometown!

The first time I went to this festival was in 1995 when I was a sophmore in high school at the World Music Theater. I feel very fortunate being exposed to the music on the bill that year at such a young age and was excited that they decided to bring it back so I could relive it and introduce the new generation to great music. Since then, the big act has moved a couple hundred yards from my front door and it has been a consistent annual tradtion since moving to Chicago. However, times are rough and it would be to hard to bear not to go to this magnificent festival less than a mile from my home so please pick me. No hotel or flight necessary. Just a means to get in so I can get down in my hometown! Thank you!

I love music. I love Chicago. I need this in my life.

the love of my life is in chicago while i am in seattle with no way to see her. also lolla is awesome and it would be great to see her at one of the best music festivals of the year

I need to win because I am a die hard grunge girl and I've already seen Alice in chains this year and Pearl jam every year and to add Soundgarden to my collection would be amazing! LoLLa ROCKS Discover Cage The Elephant there and been a fan of Lolla since then

I NEED to win because I've NEVER been TO Chitown, only THRU Chitown, AND, my husband is unemployed, and I am only employed PT, while trying to establish a Private Practice ~ I could USE a mini vaca and would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see these bands live! :- ) PaaaaaaaaaLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZ! Purty, with SUGA on it! (Ahem, THANK YOU!!)

My husband and I need a break from life as we know it. It's been years since we traveled anywhere sans kids. What a blast this would be for us!

never got email

I deserve to win because Chris Cornell is my husband and just doesn't know it yet... =) Sorry to the wifey- he he

I am the coolest single mom ever and I work hard for what my kids and I have. I totally love....love Chris Cornell!!! I love everything he's done. Yes, including his solo work, absolutely in love with his voice!! I have never had the chance to see him perform and would just die at the chance to go see him. So what do you say? Please, I want to win. Really bad. :)

I deserve to go to this because I work my butt off all day every day and still could NEVER afford to go to a festival, let alone one out of town. On top of that, my boyfriend of 4 years and I just split and I could really really use a good time.

I'll be getting back from my deployment in Iraq the 29th of july so it would be awesome to be able to go to lollapalooza with my wife after a year of being apart.

well i seen the first two in washington i think it was 91 and 92 i may be wrong but it would be kool to see another

I hope I win cause I love rock and I've never been to a concert.

I hope I win cause I love rock and I've never been to a concert.

i love American rock n rolls! plz let me go to show. since i was boy i would play spoons in my basement with my frends cuzmon and bingbong. since i be American i dream of seeing many pretty womenz, but in my town all look like horseys. plz help me!!!

Been a fan of Soundgarden from the first time I heard Louder than Love. Amazing band and never got a chance to see them before they split up. Also growing up I was told I was a double for Kim Thayil.

Lollapalooza will fall on the anniversary of me beating cancer last year, it was a tough time filled awful memories of chemotherapy and being sick as a dog. i would love to celebrate with thousands of music fans dancing, laughing and having a great time under the Chicago sun. Perry has been a musical insperation to me for years. I was at the very first Lollapalooza years ago, and i would like to see what the evnt has evolved into. Thanks for the chance of possibly winning such a great and special prize. HAve fun everybody and be safe...... DUB

I am a huge Soundgarden fan and Ive never been to Lollapalooza, what a great line up this year!! I would love to win the tickets and take my son.

I think you guys should pick me because winning these tickets would be a dream come true. I am scrapping up as much as I possibly can but never meeting ends. I am a huge music junkie and going to this festival and not worrying about my financial issues would bring me closer to enlightenment in life. I would also love love love to cover this festival in my blog and it would only help me in my career of music blogging. Errgg and I'm a huge fan of Cut Copy and I promise you, I'll be dancing the whole weekend away. I would take advantage of the weekend to the fullest and make sure that everyone around me was having an amazing time. I think I'd cry if I won.

I have never been to Lollapalooza and I have never seen Soundgarden or Green Day live. I am a northwest native musician who has a deep appreciation for live music. It would be an honor to attend this event!

Please pick me, i've never been to lollapalooza, and i really want to go, its also been ages since i've been to a concert so please pick me!!!

L- Loading my bags in my trunk now for my trip to Lollapalooza 2010 and thanking Blastro in advance for the opportunity to enter AND for choosing ME!! :)

O-Overwhelmed at the opportunity to go to Lollapalooza 2010!! :)

L- Love the bands playing this year!!

L- Lots of fun stuff to see and do at the concert!!

A- Always having a good time at the concert!! Especially when I get to see "Soundgarden", for the first time live!!

P- Plenty of fun people to party with!!

A- Attending the concert with VIP Access!!

L- LOLLAPALOOZA 2010!!!

O- Opportunity to meet new LOLLAPALOOZA fans like myself!!

O- Oh so excited to go this year!!!!

Z- Zippo lighter ready for encores!!

A- Adorable and fun to be around!!! One of the reasons that I deserve to win!! Crystal :)

I am held hostage by three kids and husband. I never have any fun and the world is passing me by.I will go insane if I don't get the hell outta here and then my kids will be orphans and my husband will be a bitter old fart. Do we rally need more orphans and bitter old farts in this world?

I deserve to win because I have never been to a Lollapolooza. I am trying to get back on my feet after losing my job as my Christmas present in 2009. I got denied unemployment... my heater went out in my home at that time too! I had such a rough few months, the house was hit by lightening as well. Last year was SUPER CRAZY and I am still just struggling to survive. This would be an amazing blessing to win. I would be over the moon!!!

You should pick me to win this contest because me and my lifelong concert companion E.Dollars would rock the face off of Grant Park harder than anyone else. We are the best fest-goers known to man. Pick us and you'll see for yourself. We rule.

both my husband and i have lost our jobs, unemployment doesn't cover the bills and this would be such an amazing surprise for my husband. we had plans to go before we both lost our jobs, for my husband of 24yrs, this is for us to have a moment to leave our problems behind, if even for 2 days, it would be incredible. thanks and rock on yeah!!!!!!!!!

Last year was my first Lolla experience but I only was able to attend one day. :( But it was EPIC. I have worked Bonnaroo the past 3 years, so I was never able to actually enjoy 85% of the shows or experience. This year I'd like to surprise my brother (who bought my ticket to Lolla last year) with these AWESOME VIP tickets!! He is such a great kid and deserves them! He is a hardworking smart kid (nothing but Dean's list. I don't have the money to buy them for him, so I am trying to win them! I assure you we will be the LOUDEST, CRAZIEST and the MOST fun fans out there if you pick me!! Also, Lady Gaga is my absolute favorite and I would be so sad to miss her perform! PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE! We need a Vacation :)

I've been to Lollapalooza every year since 2006, and I will do whatever it takes to go this year. I recently lost my job and literally broke my hand the next day. The problem is that I was not covered by health insurance so I basically had to pay for it out of my own pocket, leaving me hardly any funds for my usual Lollapalooza excursion. In the past, I have always brought a new person each year so that they can understand and appreciate why I go to Chicago every year for what I consider to be the greatest music festival of the summer. Hopefully, I can continue the tradition!

I never got and email!

This year's Lollapalooza line up is so awesome!I have been once before in 2008 and had the best time! I have been wanting to go again but it is very expensive, and I am a college student without a job. It would be an amazing opportunity to win tickets and a trip to Chicago. I would bring my boyfriend with me because he has never been to a large music festival like this. We are both huge fans of many of the artists that are playing this year, but we don't get to see a lot of concerts because we live in Ohio and very few bands play here. Please pick me for lolla tickets so I can share this amazing experience with my boyfriend!

My friend and I went to Coachella this year. We're from Michigan. The main reason we went was to see MUTEMATH. They performed on a Sunday and we waited all weekend to see them. Sunday came, we were on our way to the event and got caught in all the traffic. Much to our bitter disappointment, we parked our car *just* as they were walking off the stage. We traveled from Michigan to California to see our favorite band perform...and missed them. EPIC FAIL. We really REALLY want to see them play. If we won this contest, we would be the two happiest girls on earth. We don't know when they're coming back to MI (they missed the last Michigan show they were scheduled for :-/). Lollapalooza is our last chance to see them perform before they get back into the studio. Please consider giving us the VIP tickets. Words cannot describe what it would mean to us. Thank you.

I live in North Dakota...do you know what that means??? NO CONCERTS....that are considered concerts....like SoundGarden!! The winter was horrific and we had just moved from CA 9 months ago to be closer to family. I knew i was going to have to give up my concerts..but this is fricking ridiculous!!! I'm shaking and going through withdrawals and would love nothing better than being at Lollapalooza to see my all time favorite band!! Would make me the happiest lady in the world :) Thank you for listening to me vent. I'm done :)

Every year I look at the lollapalooza page and I die when i see the lineups. Everytime I've looked, at least 20 of my favorite bands are playing. And, every year, I can't go. I dont have a car, or any money, so the transportation, lodging and especially tickets for lollapalooza are out of the question. My parents never want me to go alone to a concert, and my friends never have money either. Because of this, I've never been to a concert in my whole life. If I won VIP passes-meaning id be in a safe VIP area with a friend at the concert, my parents would actually let me go. Please please please consider me as a winner, I'd be SOO grateful!
Hopefully you feel for me and choose me as the winner :D hahaha

I've never been anywhere in my life. Never been on an airplane, never been to Chicago and this might be by last chance to go to Lolla since they stopped touring it in 2003. Soundgarden being there is just icing on this wonderful cake you call a contest. Its the right move, gimme that chance.

I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Soundgarden fan & saw Soundgarden/Chris Cornell 18 times in as many years! Chris is my all-time favorite singer, and Soundgarden was the band I always wanted when I was younger - it was a revelation when I discovered them. Never thought they would get back together and am DYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYINNGGGGGG to see them again! I can't afford the travel costs to go to Chicago (from Southern CA), otherwise I would be there already! PRAYING they do a full-on tour and come out to the West Coast in case I don't win this contest!

Okay I know everyone thinks they deserve to win this, and maybe they do. My friend and I need this for many reasons, first off I've never been to a concert. Out here in Arizona we are so deprived of good music! I know Arizona has been getting a lot of negative attention lately, and in effect many bands and artists have decided to boycott our state! My friend and I both work and go to college and we really haven't had a chance to enjoy ourselves for about 2 years now. We can't afford to get to Chicago on our own all the way from Arizona, so obviously winning this would be great! Words would not be able to explain how happy we'd be. My friend loves Arcade Fire and she has never seen them live before,and she thinks she never will. She has checked the tour dates and the closet they are getting to Arizona is Tennessee! So needless to say, she is feeling a little down. She has no idea that I'm doing this, and I'd love to be able to surprise her with this! It'd would literally be the best gift I could give her. So please consider my entry to be the chosen one. Thank You

I hope I win because my boyfriend and I both love Soundgarden and we could really use a little vacation. I've never been to Chicago (or Lollapalooza) and I really want to try the deep dish pizza!

My boyfriend & I are planning to go to Lollapalooza but if we could go VIP it would be so, so much more better, great site lines to view the main stages, free food & libations, air conditioned biffys and free shuttles between the stages- OMG!

I should win, just like anyone else.I would love to see soundgarden LIVE! I saw chris cornell live and i would like to see the whole band..please make a girl happy,:)) good luck to everyone!

I,m sure I don't deserve it, but would love to take my son or daughter. We all three live, breathe, and eat music. Suffice it to say that I'm sick and am trying to spend as much memorable time with my family as I can. thanx for your consideration, donna

We deserve to win because, up here in Alaska, we are deprived!!! We need to get away and enjoy a REAL concert... Keeping my braids crossed! Thank you.

I don't know if I deserve to win this contest any more than anyone else, but I sure would LOVE too! Live music and concerts have been a big part of my life, but unfortunately I haven't been able to afford to go many the past 10 years; both financially and time availability have been very lean... I have been working my ass off, going to grad school, living in a basement, and being there for everyone else instead of guiltily going to rock shows. It is something that happens, when you are no longer 20. Now I am 40 and I want to do something for me. A fabulous gift for all the sacrifices and hard work I have put in over the years. But, since I am a teacher, and work with teenagers who are dealing with more **** than you could possibly imagine, I can not say in good conscious that I deserve to win more than anyone else. But I can say that I tend to give 150% to everyone all the time and it would be nice to have some kick ass fun just for me. This years Lollapalooza has the most amazing lineup EVER, I would give anything to have the chance to go. Thanks for the consideration...keep Rockin'!

The reason I deserve to win this contest is that I am the most supportive and hardest rocking Soundgarden fan on the planet. Winning the tickets would mean a great deal to me but my 12 year old son would be ecstatic and forever appreciative to Roxwel. He is the one who turned me on to this website to begin with. He is a great fan of Chris Cornell and Audioslave but Soundgarden is his all time favorite,not quite the norm for his age group. I've always listened to Soundgarden even when he was in the womb he was constantly bombarded with Soundgarden songs as I would often stay up all night learning and rehersing SG songs until the break of day while his mother would try her best to sleep through it. He has always sang along with their music and knows the words to their entire catalog, If he was able to see them it would be a dream come true for him and me as well. If we win the tickets you will definetely know we were at the show!!!! Soundgarden Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Best rock band of all time
SIXSTRINGS@WINDSTREAM.NET

Hmmm...Why do I deserve to win? Well, let's see. First and foremost I am a music lover. Since my past lives. Nearly all genres, even out-there 'world' music and stuff. So that's big. Soundgarden has always been a favorite (actually any Chris project) but I've never seen them live. I go to a lot of concerts, but my Last Lolla was in '94. I love to travel, but have never been to Chicago (it's on the wish list right under Hawaii and NYC). I need all those wonderful VIP amenities that were described, because I'm kind of a puss when it comes to heat and standing and crowds. In fact that's the main reason I avoid big shows these days - I've apparently developed a bit of an anxiety disorder. Anyway, its been a rotten year. I've lost my job because of the economy, my small business is not enough to get me by, I just sold a bunch of my stuff (including my keyboard and one guitar) today in a garage sale, just to make rent and bills for June. So there's that. My 13 year-old daughter doesn't like following rules or care to be respectful, so she called CPS and told them that I beat her in the face with a belt then threatened to kill her frog. Fortunately, they called her BS, but now I have to get her mental health evaluated and go to counseling and all this unnecessary (and expensive) stuff that I wouldn't have to do if she'd just behave. Kids these days! So there's that, too. Oh, yeah, here's a reason! My 'friend' was supposed to buy me Lady Gaga tickets in exchange for watching her 3 sick kids for a week, but I'm sure you get where that is going. :( Oh, and my roommate/best friend has been stringing me along for over 2 months now, waiting for this big check she's supposed to get, borrowing money from my credit cards all the while. Up to almost $2000 now. So, there's also that. My daughter's Dad (my ex) is the big Soundgarden fan in the family, and I have been wanting very much to reunite with him as more than just friends, and I think this trip could really help make that happen, maybe help our whole family reunite! That may be wishful thinking, but who knows?
Look, I am an awesome person. I help others first, even if I am in need myself. I'm very honest, loyal, trustworthy and have good morals and values. Rarely do I get a good break, RARELY. But the tarot card reading I had the other day said that there was an 'adventure or escapade' in my near future. So maybe I'll finally get what I deserve for a change - someone doing something amazing and generous and kind for me. Wouldn't that rock!?

I just moved to the city again, and I've been the happiest I have been in the last three years, after an extremely difficult time. Winning this would be almost like a celebration for myself. The beginning of the next chapter of my life.....and what better way to start over than to start it over with Gaga, or Green day, or The national. I would be most grateful to win these tickets:)

I am a mother..never travel..need some time away qnd it would be nice for my first time travelling to see Soundgarden since they have reunited as a band. I was too young to see them before they split. Plus Lady Gaga might be entertaining to see live

I have been a Soundgarden fan since I was 14 years old - and have been a HUGE fan of everything Chris has done! I bought tickets to see his solo show for the Euphoria Morning tour in upsate NY and the day of the show I went to work - upon leaving work to head to the show my truck caught on fire - well needless to say I never made it and I still have the tickets that I framed along with a picture of my burned up truck. Ya know how most of us have a to do list before we die - well seeing Soundgarden has always been on my list and it could finally happen if I could just get there from Upstate NY :) Good luck to all that enter !! SOUNDGARDEN ROCKS - CHRIS ROCKS - hope he sings at least one tune from Euphoria Morning - would love to hear Pillow Of Your Bones live, what an awesome song!!!!

I've had lots of challenging situations the last couple of years, so winning this would one of the highlights in my life!

I love these bands, and would brag about this experience and Roxwel to everyone.

Why? Cause my life is **** and it would be a nice diversion. Period. End of story.

Music is life, my world would not revolve if it wasn't for the melodies thst give me goosebumps. And to have the opportunity to attend one of the biggest and well known concerts of all time, would just be an honor from above. Could it be possible to enjoy the waking bass of this years line up finguer tips away from my own, aaah i would hope so. just an escape from this crazy world is all i need, to dive into and let loose within the vibes and energy all around me...

I am the biggest Soundgarden fan on the planet! I would just like to shake hands with the musical genius, Mr. Cornell and of course the rest of the Garden. There is no other music out there as intelligent as Cornells, his lyrics are amazing,the groove unmatched, and the vocals, well you tell me who comes close? who else on earth could've made " Billy Jean" such a cool song? Soundgarden was/is a legend that will live on as long as there is music on this earth, there's not many of those bands out there. Chris Cornell is just a freaking Bad*ss Genius. Long Live Soundgarden.

Well I am a single Mom of three beautiful children. I work 50-55hrs a week to take care of them. I love Chris Cornell and I am in need of a break from my hectic life......

OMG... Soundgarden? Holy ****, one of my favs!! I saw them in '94 in Dayton, Ohio during their Superunknown Tour! It was calendar!!! I want to see them again, the Masters of Morbid Sound!! That's why I deserve to win!! I have to meet those guys! Superunknown is one of thee Best albums of all time!!

I love Chris Cornell, and have not had the opportunity to travel much in past years. this would be a nice reprieve from working all the time. this would be a memorable event that i would never forget, and would make sure to make the most of it!!!!

well... i am a part time student,work nights to get by.A mini vacation would be nice to just get out of ohio for awhile,and see soundgarden.

I'm a child of the Grunge era and to see Soundgarden and Greenday would be a dream come true. In a nutshell, I want to get the hell out of Florida for one hell of a concert!

I love the arcade fire, the strokes, and soundgarden!!!! and lady gaga would be pretty cool to see live. But the real reason I should win?? Frightened Rabbit rarely tours outside of Europe, the soft pack never leave socal, and i've never been able to find a live harlem show!!! i don't live in any of these places, a chance to see the big guys, but the rarer little guys as well, would be huge!!!!!

Let's see...Back in March, 2010, I was a successful restaurant manager with a lot of potential...I have 2 little kids and an awesome husband...my wonderful mom was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer...I am 1 of 5 kids and I ended up leaving my beautiful neighborhood and 2500 sq ft home to help my mom run her gas station in a small community in Grand Ronde, OR...all I can say is whata lifestyle change and what a culture shock...my husband and I have been here and making the best of a small town, where you have to drive 30 or so miles to get to a decent movie theater or even grocery shopping...we love Chris Cornell and Soundgarden and we were upset that they played up in Seattle a while back under the anonymous name, Nude Dragons...so a trip to Chicago and a chance to see Soundgarden live would be such a nice change of what we are going through today...love you mom, you're gonna kick cancer in the ass!!!

I attended the very 1st lollapalooza and was heartbroken when Mr. Farrell took it away from So. Cal. I am a huge Chris Cornell and Soundgarden band, I've been following him since the Loud Love days. What better way than to see them reunited in the "Windy City" which I've never been to. Yes this would be awesome.

my boyfriend is a cna. meaning he wipes your grandparents' *****. i work a grocery store making sure YOUR grocery needs are met. we get paid ****. winning this contest will give us a little bit of faith in this corrupt, wretched economy. it will make us feel appreciated. plus we both love the strokes. we promise to be less cynical about our lives if we win.

could I did this lucky?? Why not? :)

what a dream come true...soundgarden in concert! I never thought id live to see the day when they got back together...How freakn awesome! gotta be pumped as a fan, right on!!Ive been a fan since louder than love... always wanted to see them but always to busy ...like most people im outta work and it would be the perfect gift for my girl whos hung in with me through some tryin times..anyway...rock on!!!

i would like to win this contest so that i could give up my ticket to shambhala in nelson, b.c., and enjoy the sights and sounds of lollapalooza!!

because my life sucks and I need to have some fun and let go....and because Chris Cornell is hot as hell

Because Ronnie James Dio told me in a dream that I would win.

In my continual effort on the process of the process towards my success I do and will continue to go to my guys and girls from the grunge era for direction and philosophy. While I can and do think on my own it is nice to have others to look to for cetain insights. Thank you...

TO THE SKY!!!

What can I say? I am forever a grunge girl. Unfortunately during the high period of the grunge era, I was struggling financially working double shifts at a chain of bars owned by the same individual. Although I was living paycheck to paycheck and was unable to afford to attend popular venues such as Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Lollapalooza; I was able to enjoy the songs of this genre not only loud but with on a high quality sound system as well. This experience alone is the only reason why I have no regrets working the club scene. My best friend, on the other hand, was able to see Soundgarden three times which included Lollapalooza. Not a day goes by where I wish I could have made it possible to attend a Lollapalooza event.

I've been a fan of Soundgarden since the beginning. They changed my taste in music as a breath of fresh air in the stifling glam-rock atmosphere of the 80's. When they broke up, I was devastated. I had never got the chance to see them in concet. To see them back together would be the pinnacle of my music experience.

I love music!!! I haven't had a vacation in five years. I love music!!! I am a single mom who works six days a week and I love my kids but I also love music!!! I don't have the extra cash to fly to Chicago and buy tix for Lolla 2010 but I would totally appreciate the chance to attend and would consider it an honor and privilege to have an opportunity to make this happen...

I attended Lollapalooza '93, but had to leave before Primus or Alice in Chains came on because it was so hot and I had ran out of water and money to buy water. I lost 6 pounds that day from sweating in the hot sun and didn't even get to see my favorite band. Please let me attend another one and make better Lollapalooza memories :):):) Thanks! (lashe) lizrnfnp@yahoo.com

I attended the very first Lollapalooza tour in the 90's and I would love a chance to be able to travel to Chicago,a place my girlfriend and I have never been to see the greatest show on earth! That would be amazing!

i live in hawaii... on the big island... it would be a dream come true to experince something like lollapalooza...we dont ever get big names on our island...plus having a break from my single mother life would be just awesome ...please choose me and give me my dream of seeing soundgarden, and all the other awesome artist's that will be there...aloha from anna....

I've been following Soundgarden since Ultramega OK. I've seen them a dozen times in concert and absolutely can't miss this show! My girlfriend has never been to a concert and this would be a great first show to bring her to

I think you should send me to Lollapalooza because music is absolutely my life, so I'm dead serious when I say I would die for the opportunity to have my face melted in the Windy City. I've never even been to Chicago! I'm from Texas, and Chicago is somewhere I've always wanted to visit, and this lineup is amazing (right after Glastonbury's lineup, of course). So yeah, I could go on and on about how awesome I am and how much I'd like to go to Lolla, but instead I'm just going to ask nicely: please give me this awesome opportunity?

Lolla's 1, 2, and 3 were my concert teeth cutting exploding my musical horizons into dozens of bands I still follow to this day. having been one of the few to see Chris Cornell & Eddie Vedder sing Temple of the Dog songs on the side stage in the exhibition era, I would love to be there again for Soundgarden reunion.

I deserve to win because it's my 40th birthday August 3rd and my brother's 42nd birthday on the 6th. We always travel to shows, including the old Lollas back in Miami in the early 90s. We have always wanted to see Soundgarden, wasn't it nice of them to reunite for our birthdays?!? Even if we don't win thanks for giving deserving folks the chance to win. My last Lolla was 2006...I'll be there this year if we win or not:)

I deserve to win because I have been a huge fan of Soundgarden since their first EP but have never gotten to see them live and all my friends have, and it would make me really happy to see them. Like, ecstatic...!

WooHoo I love Soundgarden! I want to go to a Lollapalooza!

Would love to win these tickets. I'm broke and my daughter just got married would love to take her. Wedding gift. Anyways a few years back I won Audislave tickets, I was super broke then to. Winning those tickets I was able to take her for a graduation gift. She said it was the best gift. Would be awesome to win these tickets and give her another GREAT gift. Thanks

I deserve to win because I was having babies in the 90's and was Soundgarden-ignorant & didn't go see them. right before they announced the reunion I was lamenting to my brother how I love them & never got to see them live. Also, I love the Black Keys 7 so many other bands playing Lollapalooza and so does my 16 year old son. We would be forever grateful!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME WIN- BEEN A SOUNDGARDEN FAN SINCE I WAS 16 and I am now 37!

the number of entries didn't chANGE AFTER I DID IT - IT'S A SCAM

AAAGHHHHHHH LOLAPALOOOOOOOOOOOOZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5TH COMENT NEED TO GO LOVE GREEN DAY REALLY LIKE LADY GAGA NEVER BEEN TO CONCERt

Lollapalooza is my favorite holiday of the year PERIOD. I schedule everything around Lollapalooza, no matter what. I've made it a point to bring somebody new every year and welcome them into the awesome community of music fans that flock to Chicago every year for what I consider to be the best festival in the US.

I NEED THESE TICKETS! Lollapalooza 2010 is going to be X Japan's first performance in the USA! I want to be a part of HISTORY! This is a band I've been living and breathing since I was fourteen and they are finally making it to American soil if only I weren't a little college student stuck in California I would so be there!!!

Seeing Phoenix live would quite simply make my summer complete. Coming from a relatively small city, we don't often get the chance to see such acts, so this is the chance of a lifetime!

I am so excited that Soundgarden is touring again!! I am a big Chris Cornell fan,and think he is so very talented. I really liked him w/ Soundgarden, much better than his new endeavor with his music...but that is the joy of being a musician...you can explore so many avenues..the skies the limit! Welcome back Soundgarden...

I deserve to win this contest because I am a poor college student who never thought it was possible to see The Arcade Fire live. Now that it is, I can't afford it because of tuition! It's all just too tragic.

I have been a fan of Lollapalooza since Jane's Addiction first started it, from the acid simulator to the mosh pits. I cant give you a valid reason why I deserve anything but I could give you a ******** sob story or tell you i am dying from some incureable disease..if that works hit me back and I will resubmit my story. I am a total music nut and I can taste the music when the weather starts getting warm...I am jus a hippie who loves music and I am not afraid to fly...i will jump from the airplane if thats what ya need me to do..we can do a fly by haha..I am 38 and graduating from college this year is that good enough?? How bout jus give an old B**** a break yea? ~*Peace n Love out to ya*~*Dawn*

Lollapalooza opened my eyes to music for this first time last year. Most of my time was spent doing other things before then, regretfully. Since then music has been as much a part of my life as anything, and I can't get enough of it. I have silently vowed myself never to miss a Lollapalooza...no matter what. However, my financial restraints have in somewhat of a bind. I was getting ready to purchase my tickets for this year when I found out my car needs thousands of dollars of work done to it. Need a car to get to work, and don't have money lying around to pay it and go to Lolla. My brother will be devastated if I can't make it with him this year...because, like me, his eyes were opened to music at the '09 Lolla. I've already spent DAAAAYYYS listening to all of this year's artists, and got my hopes up and everything. You have absolutely no idea how happy it would make me to my brother and I VIP tickets to our favorite event of the year....HANDS DOWN! We passed on Coachella, Sasquatch, and Bonnaroo for Lollapalooza because we knew it would be a blast again. I HAVE to see Phoenix, The Strokes, The Black Keys, Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Wolfmother, Mute Math, METRIC, Dirty Projectors, The xx, The Temper Trap, Minus the Bear, Wild Beasts, The Big Pink, Freelance Whales, Dan Black, My Dear Disco, Wolfgang Gartner, Empire of the Sun, Erol Alkan, and Felix Da Housecat. Most of those artists won't even step foot here in Kansas City!!

I've been waiting very impatiently to see The Strokes since 2006, so I will basically die of happiness if I'm able to make it to Lolla this year. Also love: Balkan Beat Box !! Minus the Bear !! The Black Keys !! I discovered a lot of my favorite music at Lolla and am desperate to find some new gems. Also, my boyfriend will SO be in my debt if I take him to see Gogol Bordello. Pleeease ?? :)

MUSIC is what makes me the happiest even though i can't play a single instrument. I deserved to win because everything i've done this year has gone sooo wrong, seriously, this hasn't been my year, so going to Lollapalooza would fix everything.
I don't know if residents from outside the United States can participate. We never have awesome festivals here in Mexico, like in other countries, so it would be a pretty cool experience if i could go and see some of my favorite bands there. Like the strokes, i'm dying to see them live. So please pick me!

Oh my gosh to the judges of this contest-
Hi! I'm Jill. Vegetarian, friendly, fan, and music enthusiast. PLEASE choose me to attend- going to this concert expenses paid would mean the WORLD to me. I'm a very hard worker in school in NJ and my mom and I really want to take a trip together and would be able to with the help of this contest. MGMT is my all time favorite band- I have been a committed fan since the day they emerged and have followed their music through both albums- it is SO inspiring to me and AH TO GO SEE THEM IS BASICALLY WHAT I DREAM ABOUT EVERY NIGHT. I started shaking when I read the lineup- it is SO perfect and through this, I would ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GO TO A LIVE CONCERT that combines ALL MY FAVORITES, it would be the highlight of my family's summer, I count down the days. I'm ACTUALLY quivering right now with the thought of being in the audience and seeing CHICAGO. I'm part of numerous fan clubs hoping for a break in which i might be able to go, but I think this is my only shot. I am CONSTANTLY listening to mgmt, matt & kim, and my mom is equally inspired by their music. I'd be on my feet all day constantly feeling the music. It's the 4th dimension on my life- I get ancy in school when I cannot listen to "electric feel" or "flash delrrium" or even "knife" by grizzly bear.
I tend to tear up when I listen to truly moving music, and the artists attending Lollapalooza this year mean the world to me, without their music, I think life would be extremely different, and I might not have been able to recover from the hardest of times.
I have never been, but I hope to view the awesome building of chicago while being surrounded with blasting music from every direction, while I watch my favorite artists giving their soul to thousands of fans, and to thank you and God for giving me such a lifechanging, spine-chilling opportunity. Please don't pass me up- it would my mom and I to spend some needed time together while enjoying our favorite music. I'll start making an awesome tshirt I can wear to show my support for every musical group attending.
In the short tapings I have seen and everything that I have read on the internet describing MGMT's live performances, everyone claims that the music just physically MOVES you. Blastro, their music moves me at HOME- I can't imagine what it would do to me in person. I would chant every word with all the air in my lungs, making it a summer to remember. I think I would talk about it for years, and look back on this experience when sharing my lifestory.
I hope you read this, I hope I don't just count as a number- because numbers tend to be difficult. I don't want to be a number, because I have passion and a heart, and dreams that you can make come true!
Thank you for this amazing opportunity, it's an amazing chance, PLEASE have me take pictures and segments from the whole trip and concert to represent the happiness that blastro & Lollapalooza has created. here goes! time to "add comment" before you stop reading! [:


-Jill A. :]

Because I would take my little brother who has never been to a concert in his life. Plus, I think that festivals are the best way to discover new bands, and since I got laid off I will not be able to afford any concerts, much less festivals this year. PLEASE PICK ME!!

My boyfriend and I have LOVED Soundgarden since the late 80's early 90's and we've continued to be huge fans of Chris Cornell after their breakup. This would be an absolute dream come true to finally be able to see them live after having missed the chance all those years ago. We've never been able to go to a Lollapalooza gig so this would be an AMAZING first experience we'd never forget. Good luck to everyone but I HOPE WE WIN!!! :-D

My husband and I are die-hard Chris Cornell fans!!! I had tickets to his show in Atlanta last year and ended up getting put on bed rest and had a miscarriage the day of the show and had to give my tickets up. I'd love the chance to see him live again. I haven't seen him live since Lolapalooza '91. It would be awesome to be able to go to this Lolapalooza!

I've never been to a concert or won anything ever in my life. MY birthday is August 10th so this would be an amazing way to celebrate a little early. Also I could use the few days of having fun & doing something for myself.

8 kids later and my lady and i need a vacation V.I.P STYLE and my vocal style is similar to chris's . would love to get on stage and sing with him!

I live in Lincoln, Maine where there is absolutely no hope of getting to a kick ass concert without driving at least three hours and hassling with the insanity of hotels and traffic (not that it isn't worth it for great music). I haven't been to a concert in 2 years because there is no extra time and no extra money. As a teacher, I expose my students to all kinds of killer rock as that is how it should be! Winning this trip would be a dream come true for me. So, in the immortal words of Donkey from Shrek, "Pick me, Pick me!"

In 1993, all of these bands became hero's of my heart & soul. I'd be an incredibly honored and ecstatic fan to win this chance of a lifetime privledge!

I don't think I deserve to win, anymore than the anyone else deserves too. Nobody deserves anything IMO...you have to work for anything you want.

I just eat, sleep & breathe Soundgarden & that's why I would love to win. I'll be in Las Vegas that weekend for my oldest daughter's 21st birthday. I'd be at Grant Park if it wasn't for the Vegas trip. If I win, I'll be flying back to Chicago for the show and then back out to Vegas!

LOVE SOUNDGARDEN!!! remember....long ago riding on bus through chicago til 4 a.m. havin' a good ole' time! Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Lollapalooza & haven't been able to afford to go, plus I've never been to Chicago--this would be a fantastic opportunity to see a bunch of great bands in a great city. I'm a big fan of Chris Cornell-Soundgarden & haven't seen them since the early 90's. I think I deserve this chance because I'm a mom and I need a little break...Thx :)

Chris Cornell has the most awesome voice!! Just love him no matter what band he's in. Really dug Audioslave!! Gosh!! It's been sooooo....long since I've been to a concert. How exciting it would be to be able to attend this one?!? Maybe my dreams will come true!!!

I absolutely love Chris Cornell, and would love to see him

This would be more for my 17 year old daughter, I bought her tickets to see Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie for her birthday, we drove 200 miles and got stuck on the pass, we missed the whole show due to it, she is a huge fan of Sound Garden Lady GaGa and Green day this would make up for her loss and maybe reedem her birthday present!Please help a mother make her daughters Birthday haapen in the most amazing way ~ thank you so much!!!

Because I saw Soundgarden w/Danzig for $8 at Mississippi Nights about a hundred years ago and jumped onstage 4 times during their show w/the Cult. THAT'S why I should win. Plus...I'M AWESOME!

I LOVE SOUNDGARDEN and I work my butt off and need a sweet trip to unwind and enjoy life.

i'm one of their biggest fan, especially chris cornell! my best friend from seattle even flew here to see him with me in council bluffs ia the summer! of 2008

Hey there! Lets see...lost my job in March 2009, denied unemployment benefits...stil unemployed!
Pretty much lost everything I own! But, I still hold my sense of humor AND my LOVE LOVE LOVE of music; especially LIVE music and festivals!

Been to Lalapaloozas in the past, not to mention an avid concert-goer.
But...it's been well over a year, for obvious reasons, why I haven't had any fun in my life! Grrrrrrr

PLEASE consider me. This gal could use some FUN!!
*_* Thank you!

Love Light
Aimee

SOUNDGARDEN REUNITED!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! Nuff said? Okay Green Day live and Lady Gaga,okay that threw me for a minute,but then i THOUGHT why not? It would be the most amazing Concert!!! PICK ME!!!!

I would love to win this contest and bring my daughter to witness one of the greatest lineups I've seen in years... we're from Seattle and would love to see the reuniting moment of Soundgarden! And Lady Gaga and Green Day? The icing on a most-delicious cake!

My son and I have been wanting to go to concerts together but the cost of tickets are WAYYY out of our league. He went to many free concerts with me when he was a baby, he's now 14, and has seen some epic bands! Smashing Pumpkins, Los Lobos, Mikey Hart band, David Byrne, Sonic Youth, Dr. Dre and more. He was even at the memorial for Jerry Garcia in utero! I would love to be able to have an experience with him that he remembers. He deserves so much more than I can possibly give him and this would be a great memory for us both!

I won't give you a sad depressing story... I will just let you know that my fiance and I love music. He plays guitar and sings.. We would love to go and have a nice vacation together.

I deserve to win because my story is so much sadder than the saddest one, so much more compelling than the most interesting one, so much sexier than the sexiest one, and so much more provocative than the most thought-provoking one.

I deserve to win this contest because you'll actually save money since I live in the Chicago area. Plus it's a great opportunity for my daughter & I to bond, as she loves Greenday & Lady Gaga & I love Greenday, Soundgarden & the Strokes!!!

I deserve to win because that my mom and myself because i have never was to a concert before. my mom and myself love lady gaga, and i love greenday. we have not had a great 6 month with a death on my grandmother and a friend . please select us for the contest winners

I deserve to win because my husband and I never had a honeymoon 15 yrs. ago. We had kids right away, and money is very tight. We are celebrating this 15 yrs., and my hubby's 40th. I am battling an immune disorder. And our dream is to take a trip and see our favorite band Soundgarden. Please except this dream of ours. Thanks.

this would be the first concert that i would have been to in years plus i have never been out of state. it would be so awesome and a great vacation.

I should win because I just had a baby in Feb. I have been so busy with life I even forgot my birthday (found out when I got a birthday wish on facebook and my mother in-law sent me flowers) My son will stop in the middle of crying if Lady Gaga comes on and we nick named him Gentleman GooGoo since he gets really happy or falls asleep to her. So because of this I fell in love with Gaga and started to get more into her and reading up and watching interviews. The Chick is bad ass! I love her! So please help a new mommy with a long needed vacation to see some awesome artist!

PPLLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE IM SOOOOO EXCITED IV NEVER BEEN TO A LOLAPOLOOZA OR CONCERT AND THIS IS LIKE MY 3RD POST PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ PICK ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'd be my first time going to Lollapalooza and experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime event and opportunity, along with my sister, if we win these awesome tickets. To go to Chicago, where I was born and raised, I now live in Wisconsin, to see Lady Gaga would mean the world to me, as one of her "Little Monsters"!

Life is a series of test we must take...no we're not prepared for some, but we learn from the experiences we encounter as we go along; we have to apply the knowledge we gain from past experiences to future ones so we may deal with each one better than the previous. Experience we gain/encounter while traveling through life's journey is the best teacher and practice makes us prepared (NOT perfect) for things to come.

You know when you're in school and no matter how many assignments/how much homework you get, you're constantly tested; The format of testing may change, but your knowledge will be persistenly called into question to see how much you've really learned, if you've been paying attention to the lessons taught.

I'm in a constant trivial pursuit of happiness...
I'd like to close with two quotes:

I just love LADY GAGA she rocks!!!

This show is gonna rock

I would love to see soundgarden and lady gaga

I'll leave you a hicky.

I recently moved back to CA from MN and would love the chance to revisit the midwest and catch up with friends while getting the chance to see the amazing fantastical Lady Gaga. Ive never won anything and this would make my year. I am chasing my dreams and cant afford to go.

i would love to go because 1) i am a HUGE Lady Gaga fan! I cry everytime I listen to "Speechless" because she is so in touch with her emotions. 2) I've been having such crappy luck with everything in my life and it would be so amazing to see her and put a smile on my face. Between a job where my boss treats me awful and getting into a minor fender bender and not having money to pay for anything because of that, among other debt, and especially not being able to see her perform in Philly on my birthday in Sept, it would mean the world to me. I just can't express how much seeing her perform at least once would make me. My boyfriend tried to get me tickets and he couldn't afford them either.........Lady Gaga has been an inspiration to me ever since I first listened to her. Between her voice, style, and good deeds, she is an amazing role model for women everywhere.

I would love to score these tix because my girlfriend just moved here (Denver) from Chicago. We have very similar music tastes and she occasionally gets homesick. What would be better than saying 'Honey we can go to Lollapalooza VIP in Chicago' I think that would make me a Rock Star with her!

I want to win because I'm a BIG fan of Lady Gaga,I have a low income and I can't afford to buy tickets for when she comes to the Detroit area,and I haven't seen a concert in two years-last one I saw was Christina Aguilera. Please consider me,I would be so thenakful!!!!!!!!!!! :)

this is for my granddaughter who is probably Lady Gaga's biggest fan. She is going to be 5 in July, she dresses likes her, talks like her and she sings her songs. It would be a wonderful birthday present for her to actually see her biggest idol.

Chris owes me money and won't return my calls.

I am a HUGE fan of Lady Gaga!!! Not that other aren't, I am just inspired by her music and her Videos! Being an artist myself i just always try and draw insperation from any area i can and she gives me a lot to draw from! Getting to see her as well as other amazing artist would just me surreal for me!

Oh bring it on!!!I am so ready for a good show!

Honestly, reading the other contestants comments are boring. I have to win because 1) I'm a music enthusiast 2)I'm funny and have a great personality 3) I'm not reckless and responsible 4)I want to experience every act and performance that Lollapalooza has to offer! 5) If I win or lose I'd still be grateful that I had a chance to enter this concert.

As an event planner and self-proclaimed positivitist, my mission is to make people happy... It would be a real treat to win some "me" time... Love... love... love *all* music and you would not have regrets in making me your choice! :)

me and my brother love Lady Gaga and have really, really been wanting to go see her in concert

I am a 44 yr old mother who loves indie rock and would love to take her 18 yr old son.

I've never been to the windy city and certainly never to Lollapalooza! I totally deserve it!

I feel I deserve 2 win because all I do is work and sleep and VIP tix 2 c Lady GaGa would b fabulous!!!

Lollapalooza would be my 1st chance at seeing Soundgarden..plus it's in my all-time favorite city of Chicago - GO CUBS GO!

The last time AF was in Chicago, I was in Montreal. Irony....

I commented earlier, but I did not know we were supposed to leave a comment about why we should win. My bad lol.

Well, I was going to go to Lolla in '08, but I couldn't pay for even a one-day ticket. Usually, I don't have enough each year, but I find a way to check out what happened and how the artists played. I'll be leaving for college next year, so this may be my last chance to go to Lollapalooza. I hope that my first [and maybe last] lollapalooza will happen.

Thanks, and good luck to everyone else :D

Single mom just tryin' to set the best example for my boys - figure if I can steer them right with excellent music (aka Arcade Fire) they will find their way in life just fine. Right on?

Dude. Deserve doesn't even come close to the why's and wherefores winning this contest is a must. These four horsemen are my heros!

I want to see them, have ALWAYS been my favorite band since '88. seen them in Lollapalooza '96 at Rockingham. always wished i could get backstage passes but have never been able to. i've bought books and have LP albums when i could find them. i would give ANYTHING to see them again, i have waited since april of '97 for them to get back together. .PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pick me to win!!!!

L- Loading my bags in my trunk now for my trip to Lollapalooza 2010 and thanking Roxwel in advance for the opportunity to enter AND for choosing ME!! :)

O-Overwhelmed at the opportunity to go to Lollapalooza 2010!! :)

L- Love the bands playing this year!!

L- Lots of fun stuff to see and do at the concert!!

A- Always having a good time at the concert!! Especially when I get to see "Soundgarden", for the first time live!!

P- Plenty of fun people to party with!!

L- LOLLAPALOOZA 2010!!!

O- Opportunity to meet new LOLLAPALOOZA fans like myself!!

O- Oh so excited to go this year!!!!

Z- Zippo lighter ready for encores!!

A- Adorable and fun to be around!!! One of the reasons that I deserve to win!! Crystal :)

When Soundgarden was at Rolling Stone Records for Badmotorfinger I gave a Cubs hat to Chris Cornell and He signed the front of a Screaming Life Ep Tape. That night I made a fake pass out of it and tried to get backstage. Security said thats preety good kid, but no luck. That show was C.O.C. Danzig and Soundgarden. I haven't seen them live since High School late 80's.

I should win the tickets because Soundgarden rocks, and seeing them in concert is one of the very few items left on my concert agenda. The economy has me down, there's no way I can afford a cross country trip to see them. The other bands will be cool to see, but I still blast Badmotorfinger, Superunknown and Down on the Upside while I'm driving down the road, seeing Soundgarden would be a dream come true. bands today, they just don't make music like that anymore.

Because if I don't win, I'm going to have to take donations from all of my friends and family so I can go see Arcade Fire. They're the BEST BAND EVER!!!

I've always wanted to go to Lollapalooza but never been able to go. Back when Devo appeared on Square Pegs and I was a devoted devolved man from the land of Peekaboo...I've been wanting to see spuds in action. If you let me win, it will make me very happy. It will make me very happy. We must repeat. I'll stick a fork in a toaster. I'll jamm a crickle-cut french fry into a frosted doughnut. I'll put the gun on erase and rearrange their face. I'm willing to be a young alien type who steps out and dares to declare, "I love DEVO" and I want to be at this show. I might ad, I like explosions.

and in my FAV town, too, the Windy City, Chi-Town, the city by the lake, etc!!! Pleeeeeeease let me win!!!!!!!!!!

Last time I saw Soundgarden was at the 2nd Lollapalooza (1992) in Orlando, FL. Hurricane Andrew was rapidly approaching and people were told not to head south. Anyway, I scraped and clawed my way up to damn near the front row, and the boys were rockin' hard. A sea of people were pushing and slamming, and almost lost my shoes a number of times. It was frickin' awesome. But shortly into the set, Chris did a stage dive into the crowd and it took him quite awhile to get back out. Not sure if somebody ****** him off, but the band wrapped up pretty quickly after that. Sure would love to see a full show with Soundgarden headlining. My first time seeing them left me needing more.

it's vecome a tradition to go to Lollapalooza every year with my friends for the pest 4 years. it's we get to spend together because some of us live some distance apart, specially now that we've all drifted in different places for college. unfortunately, college also calls for a lot of money so i can no longer afford tickets.

Soundgarden is one of my all time favorite bands. I never got to see them play back in the day. In fact, I've never had the opportunity to attend Lollapalooza. When Soundgarden split in the 90's I told myself that if they ever did a reunion tour I would certainly go see them. My wife is a huge fan of Gaga (and rocks out too Soundgarden). We weren't planning on budgeting a vacation this year so to win this contest would make our summer vacation dreams come true!

For me "Switch opens" holy ****, hard to top this as alltime fav of any of my music

I just want to see them once more while I still can... I saw Soundgarden once at Lollapalooza in Texas in 1992, now almost 20 years later I still listen to Badmotorfinger and Superunknown frequently. One of my two all time favorite bands... Soundgarden and Faith no More.

I deserve to win because Gaga liked my outfit the best on Halloween. XO.

I deserve to win because Gaga liked my outfit the best on Halloween. XO.

I had tickets to Soundgardens last tour and they broke up before they came to Boston. I have seen them twice before. The first time at Lollapalooza when they ripped down the wall and started fires in Mansfield. If I could only see them live one more time. Chris Cornell has done more for rock music than any artist in the past twenty years and Soundgarden is the best thing he has ever done. It would be a privilege to see Soundgarden at Lollapalooza once again....Please give me tickets since I can not afford the plain tickets. If I was close enough I would have bought tickets already. And would not be doing this.

Arcade Fire...I would be honored to get to go see them play.I can not afford it and my daughter loves them as well,so it would be AMAZING if we could go:)

I deserve to win because both myself and my fiance love Soundgarden, never saw them when they were still around, and have life threatening illnesses. We're in and out of the hospital, and this would be a dream come true for us. It might be one of the last shows we can ever healthily attend.

my 7 year old son Turner thinks Jesus Christ Pose is his personal theme song and i have to blast it with the windows down when we pull into the car pool lane!!! this will be his first real concert since Blues Clues as a toddler (he cried all the way home because the show was over!!! you will have 2 generations of Soundgarden fans!!!

pick me im the grungest, mexican, that deserve to be at such a great reunion as soundgarden, pick me

Because of Devo. I have been de-volving with them for decades, now, and wish to continue to do so in the fine city of Chicago, which as we all know was once the hog-butcher of the world at their world-famous stockyards. Plus, I could make a side trip to Murphy's Bleachers and devolve even more. So, yeah, devolving, butchery and beer. There are the reasons.

Why should I win the tickets? It would definitely get me laid, and I think that's the point, after all!

My Uncle Goob & Tim Alexander turned me on to you guys been listening to Soundgarden now since I was a little kid, Every song takes me back to a time and a place that reminds of the good ole days. It almost killed me when they broke up and nearly killed me when they announced their return. I cant afford to go to this show,so it'd be nice to win and get it all paid for...

music has been a big part of my life for as long as i can remember. i recently ventured down a slippery slope but am now back on track. i am a music production student at the academy of contemporary music (ACM@UCO). school and sobriety have been my focus. now that summer is around the corner, it is a perfect time to rediscover the fire that burns inside.

Soundgarden has been a serious part of the soundtrack to my adult life... I'm a HUGE fan. My now husband and I bonded (with each other) and made lifelong friends with people who spoke little English when we were teaching English in the Czech Republic. The common interest: Soundgarden. Music is a cultural bridge.

When we returned to the U.S. we coincidentally ended up in Seattle for 7 years... it was just after the heyday of its music scene but the indie rock vibe lives on as does the music of soundgarden. We've been to the naval testing area "the soundgarden" to walk where they've walked... we've partied in many of the clubs where they've performed.

I've made sure my two daughters KNOW Soundgarden and it's part of my "Rock History" quiz game I play with them when the radio is on. My 7-year-old can identify Soundgarden most of the time and my 11 year old gets the song and band in fewer than 10 notes...

We live in Montana and I'm pretty sure the tour won't be coming to a town near us... except Chicago and maybe Denver.

I'd like to win to actually hear/see/experience this band that has been such an integral part of my life. I own ALL their albums but have never seen them perform live. I support LIVE music and musicians...

The lineup of Lollapalooza is fantastic this year and because I live in a "rural" state, my odds of attending are slim... The Strokes and The Walkmen would be icing on the cake.

I need to win cause they (Soundgarden) haven't announced any Tx. dates, and I really need to see them. Plain and simple.

I believe Chris Cornell is the best male rock singer alive and I have every Soundgarden, AudioSlave and Chris Cornell solo album/cd. I have met the real spoonman and live one mile away from the real soundgarden off of sand point , Seattle. I have lived in Seattle since 1995 and have never been able to see a Soundgarden show because of lack of money or having to work. Soungarden is my favorite Seattle Rock Band of all time.

I want to go to there.

I would love to win this contest because I've been into Soundgarden since "Badmotorfinger," and I live in the Great White North of Minnesota and never get to see any shows! Wah!

I'm actually entering the contest in hopes to win the tickets for my friend Grant. Grant is the one that initially introduced me to Soundgarden. Sure, I had heard of them before, but the extent of my knowledge was limited to "Black Hole Sun." When I became friends with Grant, that all changed. Soundgarden is his favorite band, and through his love and passion for them, they've become one of my favorites. It's not uncommon for me to wake up with "SPOONMAN" or "Burden in my Hand" going through my head. But really, the reason why I want to win these tickets for Grant is because he has helped me out so much through an incredibly tough year. These tickets would be a great way to show my appreciation for his friendship. Besides...he would literally **** a brick if I won these tickets. The look on his face, in and of itself, would be worth it.

Well I'm sure I'm not gonna get it but Illo give it a shot. I do like soundgarden, let me get that out of the way. I would love to go see Lady Gaga. I'm going through a rough break up with my first love and she has been sorta my back bone through it and I don't even know her. She is a very talented and creative artist. I would just love to meet her and tell her how much she has helped me through this rough period. My mom has also been diagnosed with a rare disease that there is no cure for and all this has happened with in two months. I'm sure you won't understand and its hard to explain why I think I should be the one to go, but I though
t I'd at least try to let you know just a little bit that's been going on. Congrats to whoever does win have fun........

I am FROM Chicago. I love this city. I love that Wrigley Field is one of the most iconic baseball fields in America, and that it's name has not changed to some stupid cell phone company or bank's name. Same with the SEARS Tower (not Willis) and Marshall Fields (not Macy's). I love the summer time in Chicago. There is seriously nothing else like it in the world. I love walking to the lake front and just relaxing during the day and then getting ready and going absolutely buck wild on Rush&Division. I love Millennium Park and how no one really knows what the hell The Bean is supposed to be but love it anyway.

And I love Grant Park. I'm a huge fan of a lot of the bands that will be playing at Lollapalooza. I've loved Green Day since 1994, I was in 4th grade. I am now 25. I discovered the Arcade Fire about 4 years ago. I can't remember how but I know which song it was that got me absolutely hooked to their unique sound. It was Rebellion (lies). One listen was all it took. 4 years later and it is still one of my favorite songs ever. I've never gotten the chance to see it live. I would also LOVE to see MGMT live. I saw a video of them performing Electric Feel live at Coachella a few weeks ago and the entire crowd STOPPED what they were doing and just watched and listened. It would be amazing to experience something like that.

Stars is also a band I've never seen live but have always wanted to. Your Ex-Lover Is Dead is solely responsible for getting me through one of the worst break ups I've ever gone through. Those last lines "I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over, I'm not sorry there's nothing to say" still send chills down my spine.

My boyfriend is a fanatic of the Strokes. He's been to every show they've played in Chicago.

Both of us are tight on money this year, as unfortunately so many people are due to this LOVELY economy, and we are not sure if Lollapalooza can fit into our budget. As true Chicagoans we'd be heartbroken to miss such an iconic Chicago festival with such an amazing line up.

I actually grew up in Seattle and have seen Soundgarden many times being that I am 41 years old.

Well because August 7th is my birthday and my present should be that I get to see Soundgarden!

I have been a fan of Soundgarden since I was 14 years old..I am now going on 35. They're music has helped me through so much pain in my life. After they broke up, I never gave up hope that they would get back together. Peple made fun of me, and said that I needed to listen to new music. I always stuck with Soungarden as my favorite band. My life is finally doing good...so the news of Soundgarden getting back together was the icing on the cake. I love hem...and would love to see them live.
Thank you,
Angela Guerra

I am a HUGE fan of Soundgarden!!! I have been out of work since the week before Christmas due to a car accident that herniated 3 discs in my back. I spent 3 and half months stuck in bed and went through cortisone shots to get to where I am today. I would love for Soundgarden and Lollapalooza to be the first major event that I can attend!!!!

I WANT TO GO SOOOOOOOOO BAD!

I am a huge fan of many of the bands playing at Lollapalooza this year as well I am a huge fan of Chicago. It would rock to win this contest!!!! Thanks so much for hosting it!!

I have been a fan of the "Seattle Sound" since its inception and am so excited at the awesome prospect of hearing Soundgarden again! I am an artist, an aspiring rock photographer, who would love nothing better to photograph the awesomeness of Lollapalooza. Additionally, I am the Director of a Contemporary art gallery and regularly support my local underground music scene by giving local bands an opportunity to see and be heard in my space, thus helping them to establish!!!!! PLEASE PICK ME!

My husband and I deserve the prize because: 1st, We both are big fans of SG and they have never played in Chile (where we grew up). We've seen Chris performing a few times (the most powerful and excited concert ever) and we are sure SG @ Lollapalooza will be a dream come true. And 2nd, 'cause when we got married, and moved to NYC in 2006, and hadn't honey moon!. :( Even though we've never travel together. :(. We might be very very happy having part of the prize.

Not only am I a major fan of Soundgarden, and all bands with the "Seattle Sound," but I am also an artist who is working hard to build a career as a rock photographer. Additionally, as the Director of a contemporary art gallery. I frequently give local musicians a chance to play and be heard in my community by supporting an underground music scene! This would be the chance of a lifetime to see and hear this awesome band reunited in a totally cool music scene! PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!!!!

I'm a chicgao native and can not afford tickets to lollapalooza!!!! I am a mother of 2 and would LOVE to attend for the first time ever! It's somehting I've always wanted to do and wish I would've done before I had my children, but that ship has sailed and I hope you consider me. I love music and I love to sing, I've actually considered joining American Idol, did the whole chorus major in high school... Music is a passion of mine and I really want these tickets so very bad! PLEASE pick me!

pick me, im special : )

I'd love to go to beautiful Chicago again and Soundgarden Rock the Stage Seattle style!!!!!!

Have ALWAYS loved SG but was never able to see them live. Sadly can't afford the trip to Chicago & now I'm lucky enough to have a teen daughter who actually likes GOOD music including SG. Would be too f'in awesome to win a trip for my daughter & I to see the guys!

Because I have the biggest ****!!

Why should I win?? BECAUSE!! I can't make it to Rock am Ring this year & I have been busting my ass in school! I'm a musician, a published author (book of poetry titled My Sanctuary), I am a HUGE fan of SOUNDGARDEN (coolest name in the world for a band btw!). I'm also freelance journalist & could take pix/interview bands at the event & contribute photos for any publications Roxwel (and affiliates) would like. SOUNDGARDEN has one of the most unique styles in music with their thick & chunky guitar sound, bad-ass vocalist, drummer that has worked on more projects with various bands, and overall SOUNDGARDEN getting back together is going to be one of the most relavent band moves in the 21st century, hopefully many more albums will come! GIVE ME THE TIX!!!

I would love to be able to take my son to see Soundgarden. They broke up before he was old enough to see them, and they have been one of his biggest influences. The entire time I was pregnant with Aaron - in 1992 - I listened to Badmotorfinger constantly. That boy was born howling like Cornell! Now, he plays guitar and drums, and we're both huge fans of Soundgarden's music. Seeing them live with my boy would be a dream come true for both of us.

You guys are awesome, Haven't seen you in a very Loooooong time but would love to...

I have seen Soundgarden five times but I haven't seen them in thirteen years. If I don't go to this concert I am afraid the world might end.

Soundgarden!!! Man, where do I begin!?! Iv'e always followed their music!! The Guys are Masters of Music and to me the best that came out of the Seattle music scene!! To meet these guys would be the absolute best day of my life, next to the day my son was born of course! My brother and I are huge fans and have been hoping and praying for years for this reunion to happen!! We would be so grateful to meet our all time favorite artist and to see them rock live!!!

Because I'm alife-long rocker and I'm getting old. I don't know how many more chances I'll have to go to a festival like this. I've been a follower of Soundgarden since the Shemps!

LOOK, I NEED TO WIN .I NEVER WIN JACK...AS A MATTER OF FACT I ALWAYS FEEL MOST CONTEST ARE RIGGED OR JUST LOOKING FOR EMAIL ADDRESSES.....OOOH OH OH PICK ME

I wore black for 3 days when sg broke up. I felt like wearing black for a day when my grandfather passed and again when Alex Lowe died. There has never been a rock and roll band like Soundgarden, except maybe Led Zeppelin. After seeing Cornell solo in 2000, I felt like praying for him every night... for a week. Like if I didn't do it, my chest would burst open. I don't pray for anybody, much less people I don't know. A few months later, Audioslave began. Sounds wacko, but sg is like an FM station inside my head. It never shuts off. I constantly tune and re-tune my guitars to open C, drop D, and standard tunings so I can play thru Down on the Upside and Superunknown. I remember the first time I saw the video for Jesus Christ Pose... Holy ****. Unbelievable... Bad-ass. To me, that is still what sg is all about. Power. Passion. Performance. Do I deserve to win? No, but then no-one DESERVES to win. But i SHOULD win. Send me. I'm feeling Minnesota.

I've been a huge Soundgarden fan since 1994 when I saw them at the Bender arena in DC, where/when I also met the love of my life. I'm so excited that they're back together, even though my relationship eventually fell apart. It would be such a thrill to see them together live again!

I love Soundgarden and when Chris was in Audioslave. I went to their last tour at the Palace in Auburn Hills, MI. I'm so glad they are back together or at least touring again. My son was not born yet when they broke up. I would love to take him to this concert. Chicago is a five hour drive and worth every minute to see this band.

b/c I was NEVER a part of that great festival ;-)

oh my gah....... PUHLEEEEEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE!!!!!!! I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO WIN THESE TICKETS. I'D TAKE MY LITTLE SISTER. WE'VE JUST STARTED TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER AGAIN. BUT I'M SURE YOU GET PLENTY OF THE DRAMATIC STORIES AS TO WHY SOMEONE SHOULD WIN. ALL I'D LIKE IS TO SEE CHRIS CORNELL, BACK W/ SOUNDGARDEN! NEVER GOT TO SEE THEM. MY SISTER & I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THEM. HUGE CORNELL FANS, AND REALLY WOULD MAKE 2 SISTERS' DREAMS COME TRUE! I HOPE LIKE HELL I CAN WIN THIS. THANKS FOR OPPURTUNITY!

I haven't been a fan of music my whole life. I'm only 18, so soundgarden split up when I was young. They were the first rock band I listened to and enjoyed. Soundgarden and chris cornell's influence on me was great. Since I discoverd this amazing band, I've become a huge fan of all music written by chris cornell, and many other grunge bands. I've read about Chris's childhood and he reminds me of myself in many ways. I even had the same hair as him before I got into soundgarden. I introduced soundgarden to a good friend of mine and he shares the same passion for them as me. There is not much to do in my hometown, hatboro, and a trip to chicago would be life changing. Before their reunion, I was dissapointed they were not together because I always dreamed of seeing them. I've checked the internet every week for updates, just hoping that they would get back together so I would have the chance to see them. First thing I did when they got back together is call my friend and we had a two hour conversation about them. This trip would be life changing for me and I hope you make two highschool kids' dreams come true!

I remember taping Soundgarden on SNL way back in the day when they had rockin artists. Black Hole Sun Blew my ass away. I would like to take my girlfriend whose been having a really tough tough time with her health. She had a kidney removed and now the other one is deteriorating. They removed a totally good gall bladder and she;s in pain a lot. I think this trip would mean a lot to the both of us and we've never seen SG. Chicago is such a fabulous city. This would be a trip of a lifetime. Carlos, A long time SG FAN!!!

I remember taping Soundgarden back in the day when they were on SNL. I still have the tape. Black Hole Sun blew my mind and the video was truly groundbreaking stuff. There would be no better place the see SG than the windy city. I would take my girlfriend cause she's been having a tough time with her help.

I am in love with Chris!!

I was working at a small indie record store when Soundgarden toured through Baltimore on their Louder Than Love. they contacted our store to see if someone would like to sell their records at the local show. I didn't know who they were but I said yes. The show literally altered my entire view of what music was and could be. I was instantly converted to a life-long fan. I would love the opportunity to see them at this year's festival just as I did at the first Lollapalooza! Peace!

what if i cant get into my email...can it be sent to my facebook, hmmm? peacenlove

I've been a fan of Chris Cornell from Soundgarden through Audioslave and all solo stuff in between. Since I've never been on a vacation in my life, this would be a real treat to attend Lollapalooza in the great city of Chicago. Chris Cornell has one of the great and distinct voices of rock music. No many of those left in today's music. He's up there with Robert Plant, Stevie Winwood, Van Morrison and many more.

I am a single "Mr Mom" that so deserves this!!!! No help from my ex and I need to get away...I haven't even seen a live show in a very very long time...I might even bring my son if I win this!!!

I just want Gaga to show me her teeth.

This would be amazing to win. My husband has been a big SG fan since the beginning and he really turned me onto their music when we first started dating. I missed out on seeing them before so it would be fantastic to see them at Lollapalooza!!

I dont deserve to win I just would love to, I have been a fan of Soundgarden from the begining and remember before anyone really knew who they were, standing in line a record store just to get my cd signed. I would so love to go to the show it would mean so much just to relive my youth haha, but good luck and congrats to whoever wins and have a amazing time

I've been a big fan of Sound Garden and Chris Cornell in general since I first heard Black Hole Sun, through all the solo albums and Audioslave. I have only seen him live one time and it was solo. This would be a great get away for my husband and I because it will be shortly after he gets home from Afghanistan (Marine Corps) and right before we both go back to another semester at college. It would be a great way to celebrate and take our last little break for a while. And I have never been to Lollapalooza!

1 need to win.

Because my best friend and I missed out on Soundgarden the first time around 10 years ago in Washington. We are huge fans and cannot imagine missing this great chance again. Oh, and who doesn't love Chicago in the summer?

I'm the biggest Soundgarden fan I know and would love to be able to see then in Chicago this summer! Their reunion was and is the best thing to happen to rock-n-roll in a long time!!!

Soundgarden is back and that video of Beyond the Wheel from their secret show was BADASS! Cornell's voice is back! Long live Grunge!

I am a huge fan of Soundgarden!!! I am a mother of 4, business owner, and a die hard rock fan!!! I need a vacation away from kids and work....so I can cut loose!!!

I just want Gaga to show me her teeth.

I have never been to any kind of concert like lollapalooza and I would love to try it once and I am such a big fan of Lady Gaga that I even have her as my picture for my facebook account and I would love to meet her.

never been to a concert of any type of my life and it would be totally awsome to see lady gaga as a first performer:))

I deserve to win because I am a big fan of the music and I would love too travel to see a concert.

anyone who loves music as much as i do deserves to be able to enjoy it in such a lovely atmosphere as lolla.

Because there are many bands playing that my husband and I need to see. Bands who we have supported since the beginning. not just now that they are cool. Arcade Fire is the band we listened to while we were falling in love. Also we have a 1 year old who is amazing, yet tiring and we have never had a break.

I deserve to be at Lollapalooza to see Devo for two reasons. First, back in the early '80's, my High School's official class prophesy predicted that 25years in the future, I would still be rocking out to Devo. And that prediction was 100% accurate. Also, I took my niece to Lollapalooza when she was a pre-teen. Now she lives in Chicago, so I get to bring her to Lollapalooza as a grownup.

I deserve to win because I am AWESOME.

I deserve to win because I'm a big fan of Lady Gaga. I love her!

I am not self-absorbed enough to say that I deserve to win. However, I would greatly enjoy being in attendance at a venue I've never been to before with thousands of fans that have the same appreciation for music that I have. I've been hit hard by the crappy economy and have subsequently had to put a lot of things on hold....I haven't had a hair cut in years and my health would greatly benefit from medication and a trip to the doctor's, yet I do the best I can with what I have. I am currently a student a California State University, Long Beach and am working on a teaching credential. I have sacrificed a lot to be able to take classes at the university, in hopes of being a positive change in the world. By becoming an English teacher, I hope to one day create ebbs in the ocean that come crashing into the grains of sand and forever change the face of the earth. Wish me luck. :)Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Nancy

I believe I deserve to win because I'm a huge fan of most of the bands in the lineup and I think the rest of the bands will be great, and I love discovering new bands to love. Also, The Strokes will be performing and they're only doing a few festivals this summer and I became a lover of their music right after their 2006 tour and haven't seen a show of theirs yet. So, seeing my absolute favorite band in one of the most beautiful cities in the world would be a dream come true. And, with VIP it would be an honor if I could meet my heroes. And Lady Gaga is one of my idols and to see her on stage doing her thing would be surreal. I feel I've worked really hard in school and get good grades and am loving to everyone and try to help in whatever way I can and hopefully I'll be rewarded by being able to go to Lollapalooza to see this amazing lineup. Thank you

I am a very busy single mom with three children. My boyfriend and I spend every other weekend together by ourselves and this would be the perfect opportunity for us to enjoy ourselves with his or my children around. I have been wanting to experience Lollapalooza for a long time, but never have had the money to go. Lady Gaga is a very unique entertainer and think it would be an awesome show to check out.

I deserve to win these tickets because i have never been to a concert before. Recently I just tried to buy tickets to the Lady GAGA concert and they sold out so fast and she will also be among ther great artists at LollaPalooza. It would also be amazing for me to win these tickets because i finally met the most amazing guy and i would love to experience this concert with him. We both have a great appreciation for music and i know we would have an awesome time. I have always wanted to go to lollapalooza!

I deserve to Win because I have always wanted to go to a lollapalooza and never have had the money...I'm a broke ass ***** lol.

This would be the topper for me .. I'm still new to Wi area & this would be a opportunity for me to be able to have a road trip to chicago To see Lollapalooza .. This would be an awsome trip & an awsome belated b-day present for me & an awsome early b-day present for my byfriend ...

I hope to win because i have never been to a concert. She is all I want to listen to. i love lady gaga so much. I really want to will. she is the #1 concert i want to go to

I hope I win just cause I've never been to a concert. In Alaska we doing get very many chances, yes there has been concerts here I've just never had the time or money being married and having 3 kids. :) I love Lady Gaga and her music!!

i love lady gaga and my husband and i have traveled for his construction jobs and we got married on the road and never had a honeymoon or wedding we haven't had much time with family in 4 yrs and its been struggle after struggle for us so i would love to have a chance at a relaxing weekend with him and have fun . i had surgery in october and havent been able to walk in months thank god my surgery went well and im back on my feet . my husband works with companies that aren't permanent so he never gets vacation built up and works hard to support us .

I am in this strictly for DEVO!

"I Teach Hip Hop and have been Doing so for 9 Years with middle school ,high school,and elementary age children". I Teach children about the Creative Energy that Music comes from. I Love All Music Please Grant me Entrance!

I have been a fan of Erykah Badu for years, and would be completely honored to be in her powerful presence, especially among such a diverse group of fellow Badu fans at Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza itself would be an unforgettable, amazing experience, and the experience will no doubt be amplified by Erykah! Each year I hope to go, but have not been able to afford such a trip. This year in particular.... I must find a way!

I DESERVE TO WIN BECAUSE------ "Love of My life" she is my friend "Love of my life" she the one that i can depend, "Love of My life" with out her feel it's no TRUE LOVE yaa yaa!!!!!
THAT WAS MY OWN VERSION OF "LOVE OF MY LIFE" OTHER THAN "GOD" AND MY "MOTHER" SHE IS THE "LOVE OF MY LIFE" MAN WORDS JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW HARD, AND DEEPLY I FEEL FOR HER. SHE TAKES ME TOO THIS OTHER LEVEL WHEN I LISTEN TO HER, NOT TO MENTION I EVEN CATCHES MY SELF EVEN SOUNDING LIKE HER AND I AM A MAN. SHE'S MY ICON, MY QUEEN, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!! MY GIRLFRIEND SHE'S SO JEALOUS OVER "MS. BADU" SHE ALWAY'S SAY'S (WHAT IS IT ABOUT HER). I JUST DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I TELL HER. IT GOT SO NOW MY GIRLFRIEND ALWAY'S SAY'S I DON'T CARE ANY MORE ADRIAN LISTEN TO HER. IT'S LIKE "IM CHEATIN'" (BY. DWELE) ON MY GIRL WITH MY GIRL. LOL YAWL DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, JUST JOKING BUT UM I MEAN I AM YOUNG AND I CAN GO "ON & ON" ABOUT 3RYK@H B@DU.

I deserve to win because like everyone else I looovveeee Erykah Badu. However, I love her so much that I would get out of the car (yes, I will have to have a window seat to do this) and walk naked among all man just to show I am not a slave to this world. That is just what Erykah illustrated in the "Window Seat" video. God bless =)

I deserve to win because I LOVE and RESPECT sis. Erykah Badu. She is a pioneer of Neo-Soul, one of the most eclectic and sophisticated genres of my time. Incorporating elements of r&b, jazz and spoken word, I can't imagine any other style coming remotely close in comparison. Badu is not only superb but her vocal tone is unique and I HEAR [because I've never been able to attend a concert :( ] that her albums do not do her voice FULL justice as her range is unreal live. That is all I wanted to say, and I REALLY REALLY hope I win. Peace&Blessings to all.

I'm a all music lover.I can groove to any kind of music. I've always wanted to attend lollapalooza, what better way than VIP. I see Erykah Badu will be performing. I have been a follower since 96', never seen her live. Thi would be perfect for the year turn 30.

My favorite band of all time is Soundgarden!! I have been hoping that they would eventually get back together so that I would get a chance to see them in concert. I am soooo excited that they are headlining Lollapalooza!!!

I grew up on Erykah Badu because my mom absolutely loved her! As I grew older I was able to understand her songs more and found a new appreciation for her music, and today I am just as big of a fan as my mom was when I was growing up. Last year due to financial reasons I had to put a hold on my college education so now I am working 2 jobs to save up the money to go back. As you can imagine this is very stressful but going to see Erykah Badu in Chicago would not only make my YEAR but it would give me a much needed break that I deserve.

Even since I was in middle school I've wanted to see Soundgarden live, but I was too young according to my parents. When the guys called it quits back in '97, I was crushed! They've been a musical influence on me throughout my life and seeing them live would just be unimaginable!

Oh where to start...Green Day, do I need to say anymore? What a band...Soundgarden returns... I worked a palooza concert back in the '90s was able to watch the whole concert on stage, was able to meet Soundgarden, Metallica, Screaming Trees, The Ramones, Rage Against the Machine (ate dinner in the mess tent with Rage) and many others. It is that time again to grab another bite to eat. Pick me!

I believe,I deserve to go to lollapalooza because Erykah has REALLY been an inspiration to me,ive benn listening to her music for the longest,not just listening but understanding her lyrics and I feel that I connect with her through her music,this would be an opportunity of a lifetime for me and my mom,because thats who id take if i won this contest,this would be something that I would never forget. Me and my mom both love Erykah Badu,she makes us feel good about who we are and the honor of being there at lollapalooza actually seeing her and being in her presents, would make me one of the happiest people on earth .I feel and understand her music. I would love to win this contest. It would mean SO much to me.

my best friend is Erykah Badu freak she loves her( I am too)...this Summer she will finally visit me in Miami from Poland for the first time!!! I miss her so much did not see her for almost 3 years. It would be truly beautiful to have a chance to take her to Lollapalooza to see Erykah live. I would be the happiest person in the world to have that opportunity. Magda is my best friend for life she supports me and helps me anytime I need her. It would be a great chance to thank her for that in this special way

umm its the triumphant return of SOUNDGARDEN!!!!!!!!!! and its Lollapalooza and to put it simply I want to go! >8^D

Ms. Badu's music saved my life. I was an at-risk youth when I first heard her work. At the age of 15 I was defeated by, abuse, drugs, and depression. Erykha Badu's music was a spiritually healing for me. Now at age 18 she inspires me to continue with my struggles and help other?s reach individuality through art.

Because Erykah Badu inspires me to be a stand-out individual.

Music is my life. HONESTLY i spend most of my time on my ipod and when im on my computer its limewire or itunes. I am a HUGE music fan. I listen to almost EVERYTHING. Erykah BADU is one of my FAVORITE artist as well as lady gaga because of how diverse they are they inspire the way i dress to the max they make me think not onlii out the box but out this world and it would be a great pleasure to see them with my 2 eyes instead of over a tetlivision screen. I would buy tickets but i am absolutely BROKE

Because I never got to see SOUNDGARDEN live when I was in highschool and they are bad ass

This would be a trip of a lifetime. I'm a huge fan of every type of music and what better way to get my huge musical fix than with the lollapalooza? I'd love to be picked and share this with my boyfriend who's the biggest lover of music I've ever known. Please pick me!

I would love to take my Fiance to go see Erykah Badu for his 29Th birthday in June!! He has never been to one, and that would be the best gift!!!

My husband and I have been Soundgarden fans since way back @1990. If we had the money we would follow their entire tour! We're so excited that they are back together and touring. We've been "married with children" since we were teenagers and so money is always tight. Winning this would be like a honeymoon for us (since we never really had one).

Even though I'm 40, I can rock it out like I was still 18. I love these bands, appreciate their music, and need this trip!

If I have to explain a million reasons why, I could but, seeing how just entering brings me a little closer to something I always dreamed of. Soundgarden has been my favorite band since I was about 7 years old. My older brother would listen to them constantly, and they would come on MTV constantly. It was heartbreaking to know when the broke up a long time ago. Another heartbreaking thing was that my brother left home and never came back. Every time I listen to Soundgarden, I think about my brother and it comforts the thought of him being away. Also, towards the start of the year. my ex-fiancee left me because his parents forced him to choose money over me. I was so broken hearted at what happened to me. I never cried so much in my life. His parents left me at a hotel and made me fly home from all by myself. It was scary. I got home safely though. However, that same night he was calling me and telling me that "I should wait for him to come back and not be with anyone for 6 months" I got angry and the best thing happened - I got an email saying "Soundgarden has reunited after 12 years" My sadness disappeared. I told the world (and my ex-fiancee) "Soundgarden has never betrayed me. I'd pick them over you anyday!" HE chose money over me, I chose Soundgarden over him. If I win these tickets, I'll know that the heartbreak was worth it. I'll never cry about that event ever again knowing that I'll get to see the band that I fall asleep listening to every single night. This would mean so much to me right now, I don't know what I would do. Soundgarden never came to my area in South Dakota, so if I got to do this, it would probably be one the greatest events in my life. Thank you

I feel so old. I am 42, I have 3 boys, I am a teachers aide for special ed. kids, my husband is a guitar teacher, we have no money and we never see each other, we haven't had a date in years!
I moved here from Ireland in 1986, met my husband in 1991, went to every concert I could, including most Lollapalooza shows, had a blast and miss those days more than anything. I love my family but I am no longer the person I used to be, I feel old and tired and I think going to this show would revive me and honestly, it would be such a wonderful break from my mundane life but I cannot afford to go, thanks for listening and may the most deserving person win and truly appreciate every minute of the prize.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 6 months. He is a 18 year old aspiring DJ from Philly. He love all kinds of music, and looking at the line up most of the artist he either plays, listens too, or highly respects. Me on the other hand, I LOVE ERYKAH BADU...!!! I have been begging him to take me to see her, but because of money being very tight we were not able to go when she was in town. Badu is like my idol. I wish everyone in the world would have her out look on life. Its like she has a song for ever emotion imaginable. She helped me get through troubled times last year when my younger brother was killed, and she helped me express how much i love my boyfriend. all in all i really hope you would consider choosing me for this contest. it would mean the world to both me and my boyfriend. Thank you

i should win because i am a define reflection of every part of erykah, she inspires me and is the soundtrack to my life!!!!

"Wailin and singin and jammin and talkin
And pumpin the trunk with the windows rolled up, PUFF"

I do not want to beg but I am a girl from Iowa who is bi-racial and would love to get to see Badu in concert live. I love her music and the meaning behind it. My younger sister introduced me to Badu back in middle/highschool and to get to go to this concert with her would be so amazing for the both of us

oh please...please...please...let me be lucky just this once!!
I need this trip with my mother. She has been going through some hard times, fighting breast cancer and I would like nothing more than to spend this time with her enjoying music together!! I love her, we live far apart and I can't imagine anything more wonderful!

I have been a huge Soundgarden fan since 1989. As soon as "Louder Than Love" came out, I was hooked. It should have won the Grammy. I have never been to Lollapalooza. I would love to have the opportunity to experience it.

I cant wait to see this concert and Soundgarden and Greenday and Lady Gaga in one place that is amazing

If I get my expenses covered by winning this contest, I hereby will donate the money I would have spent ($600) to the Save the Music Foundation. We can't rock in the future if we don't have musicians!!!!

I love Erykah Badu. I always have I used to get into heated arguments over her!! I love her Music From Baduizm until now...I also admire her style she has taken me places beyond Ordinary and has given me a sense of life that no one ever could!! That being that I've never been outta the Carolina or to a concert I think this would be a honor to be in her presence!! August 7th,1981 is my birthdate so this would be a great Birthday gift also!! I'm scared to fly so It would be cheaper also. So just book me Greyhound Tickets and I could see more of the world on the way!!LOL

I deserve these tickets just as well as the next person - my passion for music is beyond words, and I am striving to propel further into the music industry each day. As a musician and producer, Erykah Badu is one of the biggest influences in my life - music heals people! And Lollapalooza is amazing. Never been before, but hope to make it!

I been a die hard fan, supporter, and lover of erykah badu.. Im am free when im rockin to her music so it would be a great blessing to win the contest and have the opportunity to rock wit my love in person! i got nuthin but luv for u mama!

~I need a mini vacation!! I am a single Mom to a rockin' 10 month old son. I have not been to a show or concert , festival or 'fest in over 2 years!! I grew up in the nineties & this Lollapalooza is bringing back some of my **** I tell you!! I have been waiting forever for Soundgarden to reunite:) It would be a blast to visit ChicAGo & be VIP for the show!! woop woop:).. LucK to me.. LucK to me.. LucK to me!! x

BADU BE SeXY

I dont have an amazing sob story to tell. Im a single mother taking care of my son and going to school just as Im sure so are millions of other people. I just found out Im 6 weeks pregnant, only catch is the dad (who is the father of my 15 month old) will not be around. I dont have any heartbreaking tear jerking explanation on why I want these two tickets. Truth be told I could probably save up the money and just go or catch the next one whenever. Lollapalooza isnt really going any where. It would be nice though to get a free vacation in a sense before I have my second child which is due in december. I thought it would be very nice to enter a contest just to see what would happen. Which is, Im sure, why anyone would want to enter a contest. Really I just want to see Erykah Badu because she inspires me to create my own music. If I dont win thats fine, Ill probably be one of the artists people come to see in the near future :)

Music is the resolution to the sacred connection of humanity. we find ourselves in music, not only do we hear but we feel, see, embrace and above all, we are the music. as only music can bring humanity together no matter what realm of existence we may be experiencing. the sound of music may change but the continuum of rythum exchanges the same ancient remedy. it would be a great honor and a stellar experience to be in the presence of such amazing artists. What a moment to take in and once again hear "jesus christ pose". One of the most awaited bands to hopefully hit the stage is once again together. The love i have for that band and respect that they deserve,ahhhh, also along with the beyond belief kickass line up, no doubt this is the show i have been waiting for my entire life....this is the one...the one that "outshines" and takes my breath away not just once...i want to be a part of that so bad, it's a need...to be there will not only be epic but a moment in history. with all the good energy in the universe, i hope i get a chance to pay my respect, to the music that made me love the essence of "reach down deep" passion that never fades. no matter what happens, this is the moment TO BE A PART OF.... all feel..... good luck to each of us. LOLLAPALOOZA 2010 THIS IS THE MOMENT

Last summer, I finally left my abusive husband. In the six months that followed, I had a kidney stone, moved three times, had the H1N1 flu, pinkeye, pulled my back, and got a restraining order, all while taking a full load of college classes for nursing school (getting straight A's) and working full-time in the ER. When I found out Soundgarden was getting back together, it made my year. I missed an opportunity to see them when I was a teenager, just before they broke up, and I've been kicking myself ever since. They're my favorite band of all time. Seeing them (and all the other great bands) at Lollapalooza would be such a great reward for all the hard work I've put in to improve my life over the past year.

While I was riding my bike last week, a minivan knocked me to the pavement. Luckly, there weren't other cars coming, but I'm now on crutches for 3 months and have 6 months of rehab to fix my broken tibia. All because someone couldn't be bothered to look both ways while talking on a cell phone. I wish I could make this **** up. Naturally, I'm pretty bummed about not being able to join my family on our camping trip or being able to hold my lifeguarding job this summer. If I won these tickets, it would be a wonderful thing to look forward to. I love Erykah's new album (and every album) and from what I've seen on YouTube she puts on quite a show. Please make this a summer to remember for something over than pain.

I am a HUGE Erykah Badu fan, and I have every album since Baduism. I'm graduating with a B.A. in History on May 15th and that would be a great graduation gift. I would bring my good friend Chena because she loves Ms. Badu just as much as I do and the last time she won tickets she brought me along. I am really looking foward to this and I would never foorget that concert I know it's going to be CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pick ME Jazmine Johnson!!!!!!

I am asking this from God above!!!!! PLEASE may i have these tickets! I do not een want to go.......... You may be asking why then does she comment on here. Well it is for my parents.They have always been there for me and i feel like a owe them a bit of happiness.they are always working and never have alone time.their alone time is when they are at home with my 2 sister and brother.They just need to relax a little. I want it to be an early anniversary present.

THANKX FOR LISTENING!!!!!!!!

I bet there are plenty of more deserving people the I, but... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Erykah Badu I think she is an amazing artist and I love that she has her own style, don't care what no-one thinks. Im a single mother of an amaxing 5year old boy. Last time I was on a plane I was in the care of my mother. A vacation would be much needed and appreciated!! GOOD luck to all. I hope the most deserving person wins!!

I deserve to win because one day I'll rule the earth, and I'm offering a promise of non-violence to Soundgarden. I need to go to the Lollapalooza to establish this treaty, and to tell them where they need to be when the world is attacked by an army of babies trained in the arts of philosophy and Ninjitsu.

I don't necessarily deserve to win. Though it would be awesome to enjoy myself in a new atmosphere... I'd love to see Erykah Badu, she rocks my world, and listen to bands that I've never heard of before, that would be neat. HEY! Maybe I'll fall in love with a new favorite band. Who knows. :P

Soundgarden, Devo, X Japan, Erykah Badu, Social D, The Strokes, Jimmy Cliff, Chromeo, Gogol Bordello, Wolfmother, Cypress Hill, And our local band Blitzen Trapper. 'Nuff said! I know I don't deserve something like this, but I'd work my ass off for it. Whatever you'd want me to do, whether I write about my experience or help you advertise this. I don't expect any of this for free. I applaud any person that would get this experience, it's a once in a lifetime for most of us. Good luck to everyone entering.

I would love to go see Soundgarden in concert because I believe they are one of the greatest bands that has ever graced the stage. Plus to have the opportunity to see Soundgarden perform when I thought they were done... would be amazing.

i deserve to win because i've already tried selling my soul for something like this. several times. i'm 36 and have never been to a single concert in my life. no excuses. i was very close to seeing alice in chains then couldn't, then layne died. i'd be willing to donate a testicle to see soundgarden. thanks.

I deserve to win because I have been a Soundgarden fan for 20 years now. I am a mother of 3 and my husband and I have never been able to take a vacation together in 10 years. Soundgarden is my all-time favorite band and it would mean the world to me to be able to see them and to be able to get away with my husband who also loves Soundgarden.

I deserve to win because I've never been on vacation. I've had a string of bad luck lately and just yesterday my brake line on my car broke and I'll need to replace it. I was going to buy tickets for Lollapalooza but don't know if I can afford to now. The bands headlining this concert are a lot of my favorite bands of all time. I need to win this so I finally have something to look forward to and a chance to escape my mundane unlucky situation and rock out to my favorite bands.

I love Erykah...and taking my 4 year old daughter to see her would be a gift she could hold close for the rest of her life!

I die for those tickets. Erykah Badu has been, and will always be my musical mother. Her music has opened my eyes to other forms of music as well as issues that plague us in this day and age. Not only will I be singing EVERY song verbatim, I would be crying because of the fact that I would be so close to a person that has shaped and changed my life as a man, African American, American, musician, and human. These tickets WILL change my life and honestly is way more than just another concert, but more of a huge life fulfillment and night of bliss....I have like....Nothing else to say but PLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAASE PICK ME!!! I love you Badu!!!!!!! *faints*

MAN ALL I CAN SAY IS I HAVE ONE TIME TOO LIVE. SO IF I COULD GET A REAL CHANCE TO SEE (MS. BOD.DO) AS IN (BADU) I WOULD FEEL LIKE THATZ WORTH LIVIN' 4 IN MY BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE O PLEASSSSE HEAR ME! I LOVE ERYKAH BADU LIKE WE CAME OUT THE SAME MOMMY I HAVE ALL HER ALBUMS SHE IS MY SPIRITUAL SISTER I WANT TO EXPERIENCE HER MUSICAL FREQUENCIES LIVE SHE IS MY MEDICINE!!! I NEED HER MUSICAL HEALING HER BEAUTIFUL POSITIVE ENERGY TO FEEL ME UP SO I CAN GIVE IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOOOOSSE ME PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSE! AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Music has always been a huge part of my life. It has been THE constant companion through the ups and downs in my life. Some people go to therapy-- I put on Erykah Badu, Green Day, MGMT, Jimmy Cliff, and other great artists to make sense of it all. And Lady Gaga to dance and just escape it all. Music brings you back to your core. Just the sheer enjoyment, that for that moment, you forget about the daily troubles and enjoy LIFE. Attending Lollapalooza 2010 would mean the world to me. Watching all of my favorite artists and sharing that experience with others would be a dream come true. Thank you for your consideration! M.

I think I should win because I would LOVE to go see this and definitely do NOT have the money for it..
Pick me please!

i think i should win cause i really need to go see a concert other than the backstreet boys....lol i think it would be an awesome thing if i got to go. i would be so freaking happy! :)

Oh my, i deserve to win because i am a hard-rocking, turn the music up louder, Mom. Going to see bands perform is a gift and I would bring my son with me ( always said i would take him to his first concert) and share a once-in-a-lifetime memory with him that we would have forever. How awsome would that be?!?!?!?!?!? Thank you for you're consideration.

I deserve to win tickets to Lollapalooza because I'm being a responsible parent to my son and am showing him the greatest musical talent the world has to offer. Chris Cornell was his 1st and 2nd concerts and he loves Soundgarden. It would be an unforgettable experience for the both of us to see one of the most kick-ass bands ever reunite.

I deserve to win tickets to Lollapalooza 2010 because I've been a Soundgarden fan for over 15 yrs and I absolutely love Chris Cornell. I finally got the chance to see Chris Cornell last year when I was 4 months pregnant. Right in front of the stage before he came on, I passed out and had to leave. I missed my chance at seeing the most talented musician to ever live. And since this may be the last chance to ever see Soundgarden again, I definitely need to go to this concert!

i belive i should win because i am n love with music erykah badu is the greatest and to experince her would mean more than enough i mean more than enough to me..... i also want to learn about Lollapalooza........being a lover of good energy and excellent music as such as the sound of ms erykah badu, i figure why not pick someone who could even more and gain more from such an event as such.

I really dont have any sad stories about my pet dog or hamster dying so I guess i will try my best to convince you why i should win. I think i should win because I"ve never been to a event like Lallapalooza i think it would be a great experience. If i won i would take my cousin and we always said if we were rich one of the things we would do is travel the world a just go to every concert we wanted to attend. Since we cant complete that dream right now because we are 40 hour a week working college students this is close enough. Also Erykah Badu is my favorite artist since Baduizm so you have to let me win.I mean really what do we have to do? Do we have to go as far as making a parody of the window seat video and write Lollapalooza 2010 on our backs. With all that said i think you should pick me.
Ps. My pet fish died yesterday if that helps.

I feel I deserve to win because I feel Lallapalooza was created by free spirits which in return attracts free spirits! I was at the first Lallapalooza and kept going until it stopped being held in California. There is nothing as blessed to be able to be surrounded by so much talent and positive/uplifting energy coming from the artists and the fans that attend. Badu has been an icon for me since I was a little girl - my mom was the one that introduced me to her music. Since then, each time she has came to town I have taken my mom to see her. For me, I grew up in the metal scene but was able to grow to learn so many different styles - from Slayer to Tori Amos to Dr. Dre to Femi Kuti to Little Big Town. This type of show is made for a person like me!

peace to the earth, you saved me from death once again. i was scarred my life was that fcked up and yet you still came through. i'm so close to getting a badu tattoo. please tell me not to do it.

I deserve to win because I love music and I've never been to a festival in the states. So this would be the best first experience I could have in this country. And also learn and get inspired for my one music. Erykah Badu is performing and she is one of my favorite artist and I've never seen her live so that would also be why a really want to win.

I deserve to win because this would be an Awesome experience of going to Lollapolooza and learn what it is all about.

How awe-inspiring would it be to see Soundgarden after all these years?

i am the biggest Erykah Badu fan. I have traveled to see her in the past but recently lost my job and had another baby so my money is tight.

Erykah badu has always been a inspiration to my life though i have never had the opportunity to see her live there are many things i would sacrifice to experience truly inspirational art!

I would love to win because im a huge fan of Erykah Badu, and her music. I have never seen her live and i think this would be a great opportunity to see her and enjoy the show..

I am 37 years old and the first time I saw Erykah it was in a very intimate setting in the city of Greenville, SC in 1997. I'm graduating college May 15th, 20 years to date after I've graduated from high school and this would be the perfect graduation gift for me. I love her and have followed her since she would play sets with the Roots and Jill Scott was one of her backup singers. Erykah Badu is a very magnetic artist that never stop pushing the envelope and I'm proud to say she inspires me tremendously.

I was at the first three Lollapalooza festivals held at Waterloo village NJ back in 1991,2, and 3. (yes, I'm old...) Loll 1 was EPIC--being in the front of the pit for Janes Addiction was one of the highlites of my life, seriously. Perry rules...... My best friend from childhood, who I went with to these and many other shows, lives in Chicago now and I haven't seen him since my wedding in 2001. I also have three small children that have destroyed the social lives of my wife and I and we need a kick-ass reason to get the hell out of Dodge for a weekend! Hook a brother up, will ya?!?!?!?

I don't know about deserving to win as I am no saint by a long shot. I'm kinda a ***** who is getting better with her road rage. If a homeless person is standing on a corner, I always give em whatever change I have. I say a small prayer for anyone who is stranded on the side of the road and at one point picked up a hitchhiker. Anywho, I would like to win because I love all music (well almost all) but definantely Greenday and Eryca Badu...are you serious!?!...If I win this would be a dream as I am craving a mini vacation without the kids...hell without the hubby either. :)

I really love all types of music & I am in desperate need of a mini vacation.

i am 19 years old two years ago i joined the united states army and i got out just a few months ago. ive always really wanted to go to a big festival and have never had the time or an oppourtunity to go. now ive got plenty of free time and friends who are willing to travel with me to go. i love music and i love the atmosphere at concerts and id really like to go to this one.

This is my second year living in the U.S. I came from Harare, Zimbabwe and I've always heard great stories from this festival. Furthermore, I reside and go to college in Northfield, Minnesota, which would be an amazing opportunity for me to visit Chicago. I've seen the lists of musicians playing and they seem to offer a great of variety which is always key to concerts. Personally, I would love to see Erykah Badu live because of her extreme originality, creativity, and rawness. I've always wondered what is going through her mind...full of inspiration and soul, Erykah Badu is a master at communicating words and feelings to her audience. I believe it would be an opening experience for me here in the U.S. Much love to all.

(1)I'm a model/actor living in LA, and I need to get away. (2) I was out of the country during Coachella, and really want to hit up a music festival before the year ends. (3) I'm a HUGE Chromeo fan, but seem to miss them everytime they come out to Lala Land. (4) I just really want to go.

For many reasons ... however, we'll start with I am STOOPID! I forgot ever having seen SS live with G.Love in S. Fla a couple of years back! I mean duh..how ******* of a genius forgets SS live in concert with G. Love. So, hear is the story .. I've been living in a suitcase, couch crashing for a couple of years. At some point after having gone to the show hid my ticket in my dad's old cigar box (one of 3 things I kept when he died) my now current tix box. I have finally moved into a place of my own in Dwntn St. Pete. Point being I was unpacking when I ran across the tix box and stumbled across the ticket in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago! The whole show came rushing back to me in an instant. I love Chicago & am in love with Slightly Stoopid to say the least! I couldn't think of a better candidate to have at the show with her old ticket in hand for a good laugh and a GREAT TIME!! peaceout..Meredith

You'd think you'd see alot of concerts in the "rock and roll" city of Cleveland. Unfortunately that's not the case, and I live there. With all of the bands that are on the bill for all Lollapalooza, they are guaranteed to skip the Forest city on their summer tour and flock to greener pastures. That's why going to Lollapalooza this year will not only be something that I have always wanted to do it will and free me of the corporate chains that tie down my hometown's music scene. Please send me to Chi-town!!!

Cause I'm the head Flinger of da Poo - myspace.com/flingingpooproductions...I work hard at giving the local Sac-town music scene flyers. I deserve to go see dees guyz free in Cha-cago cause I have paid to see them live like a dozen times...The Greek in Berkley wuz the last time (N they killed it!)This would b a great pre-40th b-day gift...

I'm from Chicago and i have never been to Lollapalooza because i never seem to get the money for it. This year would be the perfect time for me to go because Slightly Stoopid is my favorite band and I'm goin college in the fall and my family is probably going to move to Texas where i will going to college. This may be my last chance to ever go to Lollapalooza and winning this would make one great last memory of Chi-town!

Im a junior in college majoring in Bio and minoring in Chemistry. I have been a full time student (18 hours a semester and taken summer school) and a part time pharmacy technician. I haven't done anything other than school for almost 3 years!!! I have never been to Lollapalooza, and desperately want to go but I am a poor college student and can't afford it! Winning this contest would make the BEST get a way trip EVER!

Id love to go to Lollapalooza. I love the bands that are playing and would consider this a much needed vacation. Music plays a big role in my life and to be able to see so many great artists in one place would be amazing!!! Please pick me. Oh yah, im poor and cant afford the tickets.

I'm not going to say I DESERVE to go just because I blaze, love to dance, love to party, and I'm great at going wild. I would be absolutely ecstatic if I won because I have never been to Lollapalooza and well, it would be THAT much more enjoyable for everyone else if I were there. :)

roll um line um laze um blaze um.

Stoopid is my life. Every morning I wake up, a burn a bowl, cruise the coast and crank slightly as loud as I can get it. Since I was a freshman in high school Slightly Stoopid has been my band. I have never seen them in concert and quite frankly I feel like I havent really lived yet because of it. I dont care about Chicago or all the hotel **** that goes along with it all I would graciously accept those as well, but I am dying to see them in concert. You guys have a lot of deserving people to choose from, but I am the one who absolutely hands down NEED to see them. Thank you for your time.

-Kels.

I would love to win these tickets. I love the city and I love music plain and simple. If I don't get these tickets I plan on working my ass off to get these tickets and to make a trip out there. I don't care if I spend all I make on this trip it would totally be worth it. VIP with Slightly Stoopid is a dream come true. I love the band and all their music is amazing. Whether I win these or not I plan on going one way or another and I'll be singing "I ain't go no money, just a buzz" after all is said and done.

VIP to see Stoopid at poolooza!!!!! Dude it would be a dream come true.

you should totally send me, I am a thirty year old glass artist that cant afford such a cool show with out winning. Never mind the fact that at the 1997 lollapalooza show my friends and I tore up our seats when Korn was on and were on MTV Newz.

I deserve to win becuase I am a hard working college student as well as hard worker. These financially hard times make it near to impossible to see a great such as Slightly Stoopid, and it would be my absolute dream to be there!

I should win, because I'm in the US Air Force!!! I keep our planes in the air by working sun snow rain or sleet, day and night, and I deploy in October to the desert, so what's better than seeing Slightly ******* Stoopid live before I leave for the middle east!!! LETS PARTY

Why should i win the tickets?! Cause i have a home girl from chicago and her birthday is this summer. What better present than a badass trip to see one of our favorite bands! We saw Slightly at red rocks about 3 years ago and it was AMAZING! :D again would be even betta!

wow. what a lineup and experience to share. all i can do is dream and maybe make some cream while i lean. yup im high

Pleaasee! An epic trip/experience such as this would revive my outlook on life. plus, seeing Slightly Stoopid live is pretty much every stoner's dream...or it should be.

I have never been to a musical festival this large and would like to have the opportunity on a tight budget! :)

Tightrope!

I already have a Devo tattoo. I have been a huge fan since i first heard them in 1980!

DEVO is my favorite band of all time. If I win this contest I will certainly get tattoo of a Devo energy dome.

BECAUSE I AM SO LEGIT.
Nothing else need be said... Except for maybe that I listen to 90% of the groups playing at Lollapalooza, so at least if I'm there, it'll be a person who will love every millisecond of it.

I've never won anything in my life nor have I traveled far from CT! Yeasayer is my newest favorite band and I have never been to Chicago! It would be an amazing experience to be able to see them play live! I was looking into tickets for Lola but I cannot afford them at all! Would truly love to go!

I deserve to win these tickets because I have been here in Chicago for 6 years and I have not done anything super exciting. If I win these tickets, from here on out I will only have the desire to have fun in everything I do.

because Erykah Badu in my favorite musical artist of all time and i didnt have the money in time to go see her when she came to my city to play and ever since then its been killing me that i missed her. and ive been waiting for her to come back but she doesnt have any more tour dates where i live and i will REALLY REALLY wanna see her but i have no money to.

Because I have that weekend free, and thought to myself "free VIP tickets to Yeasayer at Lollapalooza? ... aww why the hell not?"

Because I never win anything. Prove me wrong!

Yeasayer are an evolved species. I need them to teach me their ways. In Chicago.

Duh!?

I'm using the poor card! PLUS...I will make a vow to enjoy every second by doing God knows what. of course, staying appropriate. . . but I especially deserve to win because when I'm pro photographer and bringin in ...the big or small bucks, I will be giving back to the community! So, in essence, this is the community giving to me first. Its a wonderful system. Its gotta start somewhere, so start with me!! Music and photos are what make me! This helps to complete me!!!!! Thanks.

I deserve these tickets because I will have the best gosh darn time that anyone can possibly imagine. I think not of what these tickets can do for me but what I can do for this show. I will revel. Are we not men?

Plus I'm young and poor.

I have devolved to the point of non-human essence. My form is essentially human, however, and feels the need to see DEVO...

why? Yeasayer, Empire of the Sun, and everybody else who is completely awesome will be there! That, and missing Yeasayer because of Coachella's ****-poor organization made me cry!

Lollapalooza is an outting my boyfriend and I make from Milwaukee each year. It's become a very costly experience, but well worth it. No matter what happens, we will always scrape together every penny to get tickets and camp out, but this seems like a bit of an upgrade ;)

I MUST experience Lalapalooza!!! I'm a poor college student or else I would pay for this trip myself. I'm going to take part-time summer courses, while I'm work two full time jobs to pay off loans. I need to go to Lalapalooza to keep my sanity this summer. Please pick me!!!!

I just quit a well paying job to move back to Chicago and start work as an intern in the music industry. I am working for nothing promoting musicians. I'm not complaining; this is the first step toward a better life but it means no going out ever and especially no live shows. (One day this work will get me into shows, until then it's gophering and answering emails.) I really love Yeasayer and would hate to miss them here in my own town just because I have no money. Viva la rock!

I gave up my very comfortable corporate job in January to pursue a career in the music industy because it's my passion - now I'm too poor to see any shows (which was my life). This is almost all my favorite bands in one place and I've never been to Chicago. PICK ME!

Need to see Devo, even thought smooth noodle maps was a good album

I'm in Cincinnati & my daughter is going to school in Utah and needs to get out and see some bands. We love festival concerts and have been to Voodoo Fest in NOLA twice, Bonnaroo once. Chicago is kind of in the middle, so it would be great to see Devo in such a cool environment!!! I've been a huge fan since seeing them on SNL as a kid.

I deserve to win because I flew all the way to California for Coachella only to find I was scammed $600 bucks= 2 tickets and parking pass. I was bummed but decided to drive the 5 hours to San Fran to see Yeasayer at The Fillmore!

3 children full time job and my wife & I are still the coolest ever:) We would soak up every last minute of this trip!!!

I deserve to win because I asked for "Wait For The Wintertime" to be played at my graduation, and "Strange Reunions" to be played at my prom.

My husband & I are very hard workers & need a vacation! I would LOVE to win tickets to Lollapalooza! I've loved Devo since I was a kid & still listen to them! I've also never been to Chicago & would love to go to the windy city! What a great line up! Please pick me!

Wow this would be sooo awesome to win because
1) I've been a fan since "All Hours Cymbals" not just their newest album that was incredible. So far, Odd Blood is one of my most listened to albums recently.
2)I was wanting to go with a friend to Lolla anyways and this would be our first time and having VIP passes would just be the icing on the cake for a great festival.
3) Right now me and my buddy are actually planning on staying in his car to save money from hotels...haha so a free hotel would be great!
4) Getting a chance to meet the band and ask them questions would be a great experience before leaving the country in september for college in England. I most likely wouldn't be able to see Yeasayer for at least another year.
5)I'm not into the "itunes way of buying things" I buy the hard copy, more specifically Vinyls! The opportunity to get them signed would be awesome!
6) and the most important reason that I should win is: I proudly own and wear a snuggie.

I'm a hard working med student and I need a break! And I love music and Yeasayer is my favorite band! Lolla has an amazing lineup and it would be a surprise of a lifetime

WHY I THINK I SHOULD WIN??? WHY NOT IM A GRANDMA OF 4 2 GIRLS AND TWIN BOYS I RAISED
I DESERVE IT AND DEVO IS THE BOMB MAN I VE ALREADY HEARD THE SONGS FOR THE NEW ALBUM THEY WERE GREAT PLUS WHIP IT WHIP IT GOOD PLEASE PICK ME......

I plan on interning/working all summer and this will be mine and my girlfriends major get-away. I've never been to Chicago and would be just as excited to experience a new city, as I would this amazing festival. I would be most looking forward to Arcade Fire and Yeasayer, my two favorite bands of this generation, but of course would be excited for tons of others (Devo, Hot Chip, Black Keys...). We already planned on saving money to go to this when we heard the announced lineup but had a reality shock when we saw how much hotels and plane tickets actually cost. We still want to make it happen whether we are chosen or not but winning this would be uh-freakin-amazing.

Since the release of Yeasayer's latest ablum "Odd Blood", my brother has been all about them. Now normally I would just buy him a ticket to go, but money is tight in my family right now. My brother has gotten very sick and he's not covered under our health insurance, which means my single mother has been paying off everything on her own. I think he would enjoy this and it would show that life is not as bleak and dull as he believes it is.

I am DYING to go to Lollapalooza! This year's line-up is THE MOST AMAZING that I've seen yet. Even better than Coachella's was I believe. It would BLOW MY MIND to be able to see all these bands perform in one amazing weekend! Many of the performers are from other countries and the opportunity to see them LIVE in Chicago would be truly once in a lifetime. Words cannot explain what it would mean to me to be able to attend Lollapalooza! PICK ME PLEASE!

I would absolutely love to win for various reasons. Firstly, I haven't yet had the chance to make it to a big music festival, and I think Lolla would be the best to experience first. Chicago is an amazing city. I just saw Yeasayer perform this week and I was able to hang out with them at an after party. They're truly gentleman and a great group. Their music is love and inspiration. Simply divine. Would love to see them live again.

I think I should win. I am from Brooklyn and have known about Yeasayer for a few years now; I have converted so many people to the Yeasayer path of inspiration and light. I go to school in Utah and no one has any idea about indie music. After getting to know me, they not only become fans, they learn to appreciate music, good music that is.

I think I should win because Im probably one of yeasayers biggest fans, no lie. I would love to show them my tattoo which is a yeasayer lyric haha . Im also really into music, I recently went to Ultra Music Fest 2010! It was an amazing time, and I would like to repeat that amazing time in my own city, Chicago! So i really think i should win! plus lollapalooza is my birthday weekend!!!!! and it would make my birthday a million times better! woooh

I'm a single mom, working two jobs, but am still young, fun and beautiful, AND I NEED A FREAKING BREAK!!!!!

I'm a senior citizen who attends a lot of concerts. My going to this great festival would certainly help the demographics of this famous festival. i would make a great VIP champion and future salesperson

palooza...and I think it would be a life-changing experience. I have listened to the Odd Blood album front and back, and Yeasayer is one of the greatest bands ever!

I have never been to Lolla

I've been going to Lollapalooza for the past four years amongst the masses and I want see how the other side experiences it. Plus I adore Yeasayer and last time I missed most of their set because it was a choice of dying of heat stroke or getting cool. I chose life. I am a great fan of music and would be extreemly grateful for a VIP experience.

I just came back from Coachella and had the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE and want to repeat at Lollapalooza! PARTY NONSTOP!

I wanted to go to Lolla this year, but just didn't have the money. I've been bloody broke from helping pay my girlfriends way through school and she finally graduates in June. This certainly would be a great gift since we met at Lolla in 2006.

I deserve to win because I've never been to Chicago and there's a Polish restaurant that I'd like to go to.

The first time I saw Yeasayer was at Lollapalooza in 2008, and I instantly fell in love! I just saw them again at Coachella this year, and they were AMAZING! My boyfriend is still in college, and I just lost my job, so I don't think we'll be able to go to Lollapalooza this year if we don't win tickets somehow. I'd also love to see the other bands in the lineup this year!

I saw Yeasayer in Atlanta this April and absolutely loved it. When I heard they would be at Lolla I was determined to go, but I'm now realizing that it's not exactly reasonable to spend my summer savings when I've already begun to rack up a good amount of debt in school loans. Since I moved 700 miles south to go to school at Florida State, I'd love to win two tickets for me and a hometown friend to have an awesome time that neither of us could otherwise afford.

Im a huge DEVO fan from Atlanta!

i would love to win this contest because i've never been to chicago or lolla and am a die hard music fanatic. lolla has an amazing lineup this year and it would be a great graduation gift since i'm graduating college this year! Also, i've been meaning to see yeasayer and have tried twice but every time, i miss it for some reason and i'd love LOVE to see them live.

Never been to lollapalooza! would love to check it out

my teenage son has been listening to my devo albums. i would love to be able to take him to see them. a perfect father-son bonding thing.

Yes, I've yet to see yeasayer live... It is correct I've never been to lollapalooza, but oh I would love to. You see yeasayer has truly understood why I like listening to them. They don't give a f*ck what people think, plus they like green tea. winning these tickets with an awesome deal like this would be perfect. I have no money, fresh outta high school the only other way for me to go would to start walking from oklahoma. I would hopefully make it but with all those bad guys out there in the world, would you really want me to get hurt? or even . . die? com'n do this for my sake of life. Grazie

the last time i went to lollapalooza was in 08, and thats where i first discovered Yeasayer! since then, ive been an avid fan, bought the deluxe vinyl Odd Blood package, repped their videos on my facebook, and turned on a few people to them in the process. Im basically obsessed with this band (in a good way)....yet I didnt get to see them in Texas, where i live due to being out and away from culture and civilization :[---which is why i I DESERVE TO SEE THEM!

I deserve to win because it would be a great opportunity to spend time with my best friend before she and I part ways. She's moving out of the country and there's no telling when we'll see each other again. We are both huge fans of Yeasayer and the wonderful city of Chicago. This would be the perfect farewell.

I want these tickets because my friend and I crave that VIP experience but, being poor college students now and poor careerwomen repaying student loans later, we wouldn't be able to afford them until we're forty-five- and by then, we'd have no idea what all the young kids were listening to!

I would go JUST to see Yeasayer. Screw the other acts, honestly :)

Because I

i won VIP acl tickets one year and think it would be cool to say i won VIP lolla tickets too.

Have loved Cypress Hill since the age of 13. 1st Seen their "How I could Just Kill a Man". B-Reals and Sen Dogs teaming vocals, solid lyrics. Muggs crazy insane DJing that still cant be beat. They brought the scene a whole 2 new level/realm. And then 'Black Sunday' came out and they did it all over again. Amazing. Been down w/ the 'Hill' since day one. The Hill then became my first real concert @ age 14 when they brought the 'Soul Assasains' tour to K.C. A 'higher' standard had been set and could not be matched. I love Janes Addiction and the Ramones and missed all of the priceless lolapalooza moments. These were the best days a teenager could ask for. Thanx 2 all the above mentioned. Much Luv, One Luv!

Awesome Looking forward to winning c:

my last chance to see Cypress at SmokeOut was taken from me because they did not allow backpacks in and my boys was filled with spray cans..I could of killed a man that day..got to make up for it!!!

I LOVE MUSIC!!!

I deserve to go because I am awesome.

because i have loved green days music since i was 9

because I am a Wanderlust king. I stay on the run.

because i never win ANYTHING.

Nobody really deserves to go more than someone else, it's all luck of the draw, so I won't be smug and say why I of all people deserve these tickets. But I will say why I'd want to go. This festival is showcasing some of the best acts in music today: Gogol Bordello, MGMT...and also, older bands like Devo. But the best part about Lolla this year...it marks the triumphant return of SOUNDGARDEN. Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest things to happen to music in a very long time, and I would give almost anything to go see Soundgarden and all those other amazing bands live.

So I entered, and probably won't win, but thats just basic math, considering my win/lose ratio right now is 1 out of 559. So I'll just cross my fingers until then...

My best friend and I met the summer before high school- she befriended me immediately and without question and now we've been friends for almost a decade. The first time I heard Gogol Bordello was with her... I immediately knew I loved the gypsy rock and asked a cashier who was playing. Being the person I am, I forgot the name immediately and managed to lose the paper I'd written the name on as well. Michelle remembered, of course, because that's who she is (if it was important to me, it was important to her too) and we've been steadfast fans ever since.
We're both graduating from college this spring and both moving on to new phases of our lives in different cities doing whatever. I don't know what's going to happen in the future but it would be so amazing to spend Lollapalooza weekend with her during what might be the last summer of its kind. When we're old and gray and saggy I want to be able to look back on a weekend like this and... that's why I feel we deserve to win :)

I am a single mother, I work full time, I am in college full time and I have not been to a single live show for the past 5 years. I am a fan of all of the bands and one of the biggest GREEN DAY fans ever, have been since I was in 6th grade and I have never been able to see them live! This would be a dream come true, I deserve to win this contest!

never won anything like this before, love zoo many of the bands playing this year!!never been to chicago either...

I Love All The Bands Especially Green Day..And I Always Dreamed From Birth To Travel The World With My Girl..Id Love To Go To Many Places Differnt And Unknown With Her..And Especially Seeing Our Favorite Band Will Make The Relationship Burn Hotter..But Bringing Her To Lollapalooza Will Make Her Faint!!! Especially Since We Have Never SeeN Any Band Live Yet!! And I Been Trying To Work Hard As Well To Try To Get Her To A Concert..But Winning This Concert Will Just Prove To Her I Try My Hardest! Even Go Farther Just For Her!

I have never won anything! This would be amazing

man i need these tix cause i be working that grind every day 9-5 but the man still dont pay me enough for a ticket to CHICAGO to see the most badass bands ever. plus cypress hill and I go wayyyy back so i'm sure they'll wanna see my smiling face. and im awesome. did i mention that?!

I'm not saying that I should win this, but you won't have a great time if I don't. I am passionate for music and passionate to dance. I am an amazing person in general and non of the ******* are as hot as me. Sorry! Just gotta keep things real here.

My most excellent boyfriend and I had planned to go this year, but the head gasket in our car decided to self destruct last week so now we're down about $2000. He's a major Lady Gaga fan (calls himself one of her "little monsters" and I would like nothing better than to see MGMT and Yeasayer live. Almost went to Bonnaroo to see them last year, but once aagain money was tight. I'm not sure when an opportunity for me to go to another amazing music festival like this will be, growing up isn't much fun at all... I'd love to attend Lolla and pretend to be a kid again. :]

me me me!

I LOVE MUSIC. Yeasayer makes me want to DANCE. And who doesn't love dancing? Lollapalooza has been a tradition for my brother and I for a couple years now, but I'm a poor college student in Chicago now, so Lollapalooza's a little out of my price range. FREE TICKETS AND VIP ACCESS TO YEASAYER? Are you KIDDING? Dreeeeam come true.

... because I am a mom of three excellent little dudes, wiped out by ten years of motherhood and two years of graduate school, flat-broke, but desperately clinging to shreds of her former life as a cool, sexy, crazy music-lover by keeping in the nose-ring and wearing kiss-ass boots whenever possible. Before I drift off into middle-age and my career as a social worker, please, I beg of you, allow me one last shot at hipness!

So--If my comment is stupid, does that mean I wont win? Is this how it works? Because I am in trouble, if this is the case. I read the comments and feel like the poor guy with no job and the kids should win.

I would love to go to Lollapalooza--I would have so much f**king fun! I would be dancing like a maniac.

My friend and myself will dance theeeee hardest. Woop!

Having been unemployed since october and raising a 3 and 2 year old by myself has been really tough. i have no help and struggle to make ends meet. i could really use a break from the everyday.

Samuel Johnson (the first person to compile a dictionary) once wrote, "I have often thought that there has rarely passed a life of which a judicious and faithful narrative would not be useful." Fill in whichever faithful narrative you will about me--the imagination is a powerful thing--but know that I would love a chance to see Cut Copy on a rare American date in a city I've never been to.

I will be graduating college so I deserve this for all the hard work I have done the last 4 years

I will be graduating college so I deserve this for all the hard work I have done the last 4 years

I wouldn't say I deserve to win but I would like to win the tickets so that I may take my son to see his favorite band in the world: "Green Day". He lost his father, my husband last year and I have been trying to keep his sprit up by taking him to see Green Day in concert on July 28, 2009 at Madison Square Garden. We didn't have the greatest seats but we were there. Also, we recently went to see "American Idiot" on Broadway (New York). The show was great. We had a good time. It would be the Greatest Surprise to tell him that I have two tickets to this event. It would mean the world to him. He is currently studying guitar and learning all the songs the Band plays. He is a going into his second year of guitar lessons and is doing quite well. Winning these tickets, and getting the chance to see the band again (and perhaps meeting his Idol "BillieJoe" would make his world a Great place at this time. I would love to have the opportunity to tell him we are going!!!

You will give me free tickets to see Yeasayer. You will allow me to see Yeasayer live in concert. You will give me two free flight tickets to Chicago. You will give me tickets to Lollapalooza. You will give me a free stay at a hotel. You will give me VIP access. You will allow me to attend the greatest festival on the face of the Earth. You will allow me to see some of the greatest bands of history come together for a few glorious, electrifying days. You will make everything else I do in my life seem like a joke compared to this experience. You will make me so happy, that my energy spirit will summon the Earth God, causing a cataclysmic rupture in the farthest edges of the universe, channeling the forces of the heavens to bring about a wave of fulfillment and destiny across the land. You will want to see this awe-inspiring sight as much as I do. As will Yeasayer. "You must stick up for yourself son", they instruct to me in their wonderful music, "Nevermind what anybody else does".
Sincerely your best friend,
JJ

My son just graduated from college and i would love to take him to Chicago to see one of his favorite bands, Yeasayer. What a graduation gift!

She and I have been talking about going to lollapalooza since "1901" thats right since 1901, AND WHAT, but we never could afford it. We have been wanting to go since we were "Kids", "crawling on our knees toward it, making our momma so proud but our voices were too loud", but thats another story. So once you "duel it, duel it, duel, juggle it, duel it, duel it" and come to your decsion, I hope u pick me to recieve lollapalooza tickets cause "lights and music our on my mind". If u choose me, my sis and I will be in "Lisztomania" whatever that is. If u choose me Roxwel "my heart will fly to you just like a dove It can fly, it can flyyy". Now if u will excuse me it is "Time to Pretend" I am going this year. Thank you for listening Roxwel.

to lollapalooza since "1901"

"Even when my luck is down i take joy in knowing that our love grows" and that lollapalooza's coming again!! I like to "pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars" so that i may wish to go this year. The thing is if I get only "O.N.E" ticket its "not enough i wont stop till I" get o.n.e for my sister. See, she had a boyfriend named "Alejandro" and he doesnt "call her name, call her name" anymore. They always would fight "Night by Night". "He said shes too dramatic, She said hes not romantic", so they broke up and shes so sad now. She keeps on saying shes an "American Idiot" to have let him go. Well its been "Two Weeks" since she lost her "Grizzly Bear" and shes still more sad then ever, luckily lollapalooza's coming to town and i think she'll be "Walking On A Dream" if she could go. She and I have been talking about going to lollapalooza since "1901"

All my friends are going, I'm full time in college and sometimes can't find the money to eat or drive. I just need a vacation for once. I'm not going to win, but it sure would be great for me and my girlfriend to get away. She has been paying half my rent lately and it would be great to finally give her something back. I'm a blessed man, so perhaps this may add to it. I just want my baby to see Lady Gaga in concert! Plus I have never been to a Green Day show before!!!!

CHROMEO is my LIFE.

I love Yeasayer and would love a chance to see Chicago again too when it's not the dead of January (the only time I've been). It's been a stressful year or so, so a weekend away would mean tons for me and my honey.
xo

I'm traveling from LA to Chicago following Yeasayer! I love these guys and seeing them at Coachella was not enough. Since i can't get enough of them, I will be waiting impatiently for them to return from their European tour. Because i love them, and thats what love does, love waits ^_^ this is why i deserve 2 win! Lollapalooza 2010 has giving me the opportunity to see Yeasayer again, and I don't want to miss it! Take me there Roxwell.com!!

I've been trying to see Yeasayer forever but the timing is never right!!! I don't have the money to make it to chicago but it would make my year to see Yeasayer and the other amazing bands in the lineup this year. i'm graduating art college and will be broke for the next several months but this would make my year. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WILL DO BACKFLIPS THROUGH RINGS OF FIRE ON A UNICYCLE OVER BURNING BUILDINGS DRESSED LIKE LADY GAGA WITH A LIONMONKEY ON MY BACK!!! MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE!!! LOVE ART MUSIC

ahhhhh I LOVE Yeasayer! Their music blows my mind and I've been dying to see them live. Plus, Chicago is an amazing city- I drive up there every once and a while and it's always so much fun. I've never been for Lollapalooza, though, and I'm sick of everyone else going and telling me how great it is. It's my turn! I can't wait!

I deserve 2 win because I was 1 of the 1st 2 tip my toes into the waters of nazareth,when it was still seen as oddball & weird,only 2 be cutoff by the knees,@ the behest of sum politico motives,say wha'? I'd love 2 visit chi-town,as I haven't been up there since I was little. Plus,I have a little brother who resides there now,so it'd be cool getting 2 see him as well.
hyde park,we'll see...
cheers you lot!

YEASAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have no money but i'm getting to lollapalooza no matter what!

I deserve to win Yeasayer is my favorite band! And the last time I went to Lollapalooza I ended up in the hospital and didn't get to see them along with a bunch of other bands I was dying to see! Lollapalooza is the funnest event of the summer. The line-up this year is phenomenal and if I won these tickets I would be the happiest boy alive!!!

I'm a native of Chi-town, recently uprooted and re-settled in New England; Lollapalooza is THE SINGLE GREATEST Chicago event during the summer- possibly the single greatest event anywhere. Boston and NYC have nothing on this: the most rockin' and incredible artists, new and established, gathering for a weekend of unfathomably awesome music. Why do I need to be there? Because this East Coast girl is achin' for some good, home-cooked concerts in her favorite city in the world and the chance to share that love up close and personal with her favorite artists- Bring me home, baby!

I am a student with no much money and no work. It will be the first time that I go to a concert. I love Green Day, I am fan since they began singing, I have all their CDs and listen to them everyday. I have difficulties in life (money, relationship, studies) and for that I really would like to have some fun to try to get over it.
I would like to go to one concert once in my life.

I deserve to win because im poor and never get to go to concerts or bring my son to any.. pleeeeeeeeeeeease.. and i love all the artists playing in the show

Green Day is one of the important parts of my life.
I'm 32 years old and a proud fan since 1993.
They were also my moms favorite band, and she passed away suddenly in 2004 in my home country of Brazil. I couldn't make it to her funeral and Green Day's music kept me connected to her. I wanna the opportunity to honor my mom going to see them in Chicago!
Thx!

My reasons for entering: #1. I have always wanted to go to Lolla but never could and #2. I have been unemployed for, well, forever now and I can't afford to go on my own. :(

Because Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) owes me a hug for the altered vintage flying aces hat he got from me in Atlanta last year...I NEED that VIP all access!

I LIVE FOR MUSIC...i know you've heard that one a million times, BUT music, Green Days in particular has a incredibly emotional meaning for me and my family and friends of my cousin, Blair, that passed in 2006. Im from the Kerplunk / Dookie generation and my cousin was from The American Idiot generation. He FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM AND THEIR MUSIC, and of course I had already been in love for YEARS. My cousin passed away by commiting suicide and American Idiot and Green Day and their music commerate his memory. He wanted Good Riddance played @ his funeral and we honored his request with the releasing of doves while playing that song. The day he died was the WORST day of my entire life. I still think of him each and every day. Music was his world also. His best friend became very good friends with me and my best friend a while back and were like the 4 amigos. Green Day was OUR band! I would love to win this contest because I, for one, would go and enjoy ALL the music and bands, but secondly I know my cousin would have loved to go with me and if he was still here, i'd take him in a heartbeat, he LOVED Lollapalooza and the Warped Tour. In his place theres no one else I'd take but my best friend who loved my cousin as much as I did...like a brother. I've had a ton of things happen over the past three years since hes been gone and have got thru them, and I know it's because I have him as my kick ass guardian angel :) I thank God for music every day, without it or my angel, I wouldn't be.

pick me, this will be the first Lolla and it will be amazing!

I first heard Yeasayer on Sirius Alt Nation. I fell in love with this band immediatly! Music is my life and I never go a day without listening to music; I would go crazy. I deserve to win because music is everything to me and listening to Yeasayer, I can tell music is everything to them, too.

Stephanie - The Music Lover

I'm broke, that's my birthday weekend. Winning tickets would definitely make up for never getting any presents in the past.

I deserve to see this venue because as a kid I was denied the opportunity, my grandfather hated rock music and swore it was the devil. Haha. If he could only see me now!

I deserve to win because I named my first born son Devo. game over, I win. I deserve to see Devo

I first saw Devo on the New Traditionalists Tour at the California Theater in San Diego. I was in high school, and convinced a friend to go with me, because at my high school funk was the most popular music and not many people knew of Devo. Anyway, it was a life-changing show for me, of course, and I bought the energy dome at the show and wore it driving home....and subsequently was pulled over by a policeman. And, of course, we had an open bottle of champagne in the car. So when I saw the cop's flashing lights in my rear view, I threw the energy dome in the backseat and pulled over while my friend hid the champagne. The cop got out of his car, walked over, and the first thing he said to me was, "What happened to your Devo hat?" I think he thought it was so funny - we were scared - that he let us go with a warning. I still have my energy dome and my New Traditionalists T-shirt, as that was the second concert I ever saw and it truly turned me on to the power of live music. I saw Devo again at the Baccanal club in San Diego in the early 90s; they were playing an acoustic show, which was utterly fantastic as well. I'd love to see them again.

I love all kinds of different artists. I have never been to a concert in all my life and would love to go. I have never really had the money to afford it especially now since I have three kids. I am desperately in need a mini vacation since I am a stay at home mom and get no breaks or help from anyone. My husband works his butt off for everything we have and it would be an awesome thing for the both of us to get a chance to get away from all the chaos for a little while. Plus I absolutely love Lady Gaga, she is sooo awesome!!!! I think Lollapalooza would be an awesome vacation and together time with my husband, we would enjoy it very much.

I absolutely love music. I breathe it in everyday and it is as vital of a life source as air for me. I have always dreamed of going to Lolla but I could never afford it or get to it. Going this year would be amazing because the setlist is phenomenal. I would love to see Yeasayer because O.N.E is my favorite song to dance to!

I AM A HUGE GRIZZLY BEAR fan, i am currently going to school to be a nurse, i work, but only part time because i have to concentrate on school so it is hard to be able to afford things like lalapalooza like i would like to, for the last couple of years i have been dying to go and now that grizzly bear is goinng to be there i want to go so badly. I listen to them constantly, when im doing HW or just relaxing. It would be a dream come true to win, i never win anything, but i thought what do you have to loose, jusst go for it anyways
well thats why i think i should go :)))
have a super day

I actually want to see DEVO. Devo and only Devo. DONE.

I deserve to win because I'm a new mom, and I need a f***ing vacation! ......and I wanna rock my face off. :)

I hope I win :D. Good luck to everyone else!

Do we win the contest by having the best reason why we should go? Did I just ruin my chances? ****.

I'm a huge Grizzly Bear fan (as well as many, many other artists attending). I didn't get a chance to go see them in Coachella (3-day passes only?) and with the conglomeration of tons of other bands and artists, this would be such a great opportunity to see them all.

This will be wilddddd! Thats why I should win.

I am a huge DEVO fan, I havent seen them live in 20 years. The last time they were playing in Boston was the night before my wedding and could not attend because of the rehersall dinner. My email is devo, my cats name is devo, I would love to take my wife to Chicago to see them. Thank You, A devoted DEVO fan

I've never been! I would love to see some of my favorite talents perform! It would be a dream come true! Plus, it would give me chance to wear my Lady Gaga Halloween costume once more ;)

because i want to go more than anyone in the world!

Not only have I not been able to see any of these bands when they have come through towns near me because of a rigorous Masters program and grading papers, but these dates will fall right after I drive with my boyfriend to help him get settled before law school starts. This is a three day drive. He likes NONE of the music I like. Please, please help me see the music I love!

I LIVE FOR CHROMEO! But seriously, I've never been to Chicago or any huge festival such as this... Everything I do is related to music... I'd love to rep my city of Portland, Oregon and my college radio station KPSU! I've gone to concerts alone for years due to not knowing anyone else who likes my sort'a music, but my best friend and I would have such a blasty blast at Lollapalooza before I leave to study abroad in the fall!

I love all the artists involved and it is my birthday weekend so it would be an amazing present!!!!!!!!

Music is my life. I could never be able to go to such a wonderful festival such as Lollapalooza without something like this, and I know I'd appreciate it forever.

Pick me bc this could be my last night out with my best friend before she has a baby and before I get married.

I must do what I must do.

I have never got to go Now it would be so easy to get there with your help PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!!

Music is powerful... and there is nothing like seeing it among masses of people who gather just to witness it in the making. I love nothing more than to close my eyes and take it all in...the beats, the voices of man and instrument, the excitement and energy coming from both crowd and artists. But alas, such experiences don't come cheap and each year it is getting harder and harder to afford the fest. I would LOVE to go to Lollapalooza this year ... and to be able to go behind the scenes would elevate it to something out of this WORLD!

I don't think I DESERVE to win, but I sure would like to. I can't afford to go otherwise.
I went to the first several Lollapalooza's (not talking about Archie's Bang Shang Lollapalooza Show though, because that was on television) and would like to go again. I would particularly love to see Devo again because their musical legacy spans generations for men in my family. I started loving them as a child in the 80's. My younger brother started maniacally loving them in the 90's. Now, my son loves them.
Also, my plan to become a close person friends with Lady Gaga needs a jumping off point, and this would do wonders to making that happen.

Because I am a spudboy.

This is like a dream come true! I live at least 5 hours away from a real place to watch a show! I used to live in Florida...where it was sooo easy, now i'm stuck in a small down under the population of 30,000. Lollapalooza would be such an AMAZING AMAZING thing to go too. so many bands, so much music, so much inspiration! WONDERFUL!

I used to HATE Devo when I was in high school, I thought they were a bunch of tards with their silly hats and such. In 1982 I moved to a new town, and was invited to a Devo concert. I had no interest in going, but I was invited by three hot girls who were friends of my uncle. Of course I went, three hot girls easily defeated by dislike for Devo. Went to the show and totally changed my opinion of Devo. They were great, the show was great, and I ended up dating one of those hot girls for almost a year. I would love to go to Lollapalooza (have never been), and would be thrilled to see Devo.

I entered, as I would love to take my wife to see DEVO, then read some of the stories of others who want to go. Now I think, damn, my life's been pretty good...maybe one of them should go instead of me. Should I withdraw? WWDD?

I've lived a sheltered life with a very poor family. But my love for music has been a huge inspiration in my life through all the good and the bad times. Now that I'm on my own its been a serious mission to see as much music as possible and travel since I have barely gotten to travel out of California. I've always wanted to go to Lollapalooza but being that this incredible fest is always in Chicago it's not been a option out on my own! So I definitely deserve to go and the line up is fan-f*ckin-tastic! As is every year!

I love the bands in this years lollapalooza, and I am obsessed with Lady Gaga yet always miss out on a chance to see her live!! I have tried tirelessly to get tickets but each location is always sold out in five minutes, and I don't have the money to get them on stubhub or any of those sites!!! PLEASE help make my dream of seeing her come true!!! THANK YOU!!!!

So many of my favorite bands are going to be at Lollapalooza this year. I would kill to see Grizzly Bear and MGMT! Unfortunately, having recently lost my job, I am unable to afford tickets this year. Please help me get there!

I deserve to win because a) I have not been to Lollapalooza; b) the line-up features way too many artists I have grown to love over the years (Chromeo, Arcade Fire, MGMT, to name a FEW); c) I LOVE GAGA I'M FLYING FROM FL TO NYC JUST TO SEE HER; and d) I will pee my pants with excitement and let it be advertised how freaking excited I am!!!

I grew up outside the chicago area till the age of 13 when I was sent to live in Wisconsin and live with my aunt. My sister was constantly in and out of prison and my father didnt think that it was a good enviorment for me to grow up in. I am now almost 22 years old and am a very independent woman.My rent,car payment,car insurance, and all living exspences I have paid in full myself since the day I turned 18. Not once have I had any sort of financial help from anyone. All of my family lives in Illinois and I have been unable to save enough money to make a trip down. I've never been to Lallapalooza but have seen the different lineups over the years and love the artists that play. This year with Lady Gaga performing, it would be so amazing to see her perform. Gaga being the sucessful independent woman she is. I am a huge fan of her work. Not only would I be able to see a kick ass show but I would also be able to see my father, grandmother, and much of my family I have not seen in almost 10 years. It would truely be amazing.

I would love to go to lollapalooza because I've never been to a concert my whole life. It would be a once in a lifetime experience and it would definitely be something I'd tell my children about. The whole line-up is amazing. I absolutely love Devo, Lady GaGa, Green Day, Phoenix, Empire of the Sun, Grizzly Bear, and B.o.B. It would be a wonderful experience to see them live. Plus, it would be a way to share my passion with my mother, I've always been making music and I've loved singing and she could finally see the remarkable artists that inspire me.

I've been a fan since the 70s and have never seen them live. They inspired me to wear gaudy clothing (per the Devolutionary Oath) in high school, earning myself the nickname "Devo." Following their superior misguidance, I enrolled in Club Devo and even delved into the Church Of The SubGenius. I almost peed my pants when they performed on my role model Johnny Slash's show Square Pegs. Their music has inspired me to make my own music and not be limited by boundries such as "musicality" or "songwriting cliches," but with the acceptance that other people may be listening. I'm totally _________ed that they're coming out with a new album, and will promptly _____ it in my ____. Thank you for your consideration, and May The Spud Be With You. Long live Dev-O.

I have been suffering with deppression and low self esteam for a long time. I also live with my parents who are all ways very negative about things. It would just be great if I got to go some place really great and away from the negativity. But if I don't win I wouldn't be suprised because I never win anything. But I will just continue doing what I need to do for myself. Thank You.

LET'S HAVE SOME FUN THIS BEAT IS SICK, I LOVE LADY GAGA WANNA GET THOSE TIX! I wanted tickets so bad to see her and I missed them. ( The money I was going to spend I donated charity, It was the GaGa thing to do ;) ) She is an inspiration, and a remarkable woman. I wish I could see her and every one at Lalapalooza!

Been a Devo fan since the 70's, and have NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THEM...I think this puts me at the top of the list to win the tickets :)

My wife and I celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary on August 16th officially. We met in a retro nightclub in Chicago in 97 called Polly Esther;s to the soundtrack of the 80's. DEVO is our fave,.and, to see them in Chicago would be orgasmic for us.

I just love to see lady gaga. I was going to buy tickets for her NY TOUR. but things got tough here and had to file for banruptcy. Heopefully I will win. If not life goes on I hope thank you

I've been stuck with the hicks in the sticks too long ! I don't even think it's on the map (Cash Texas). There's NO CABLE TV, NO NEIGHBORS & if that's not bad enough ..... NO PIZZA DELIVERY !!! H E L P ~ You gotta get me outta this place, Please ! I can't take much more of these country bumpkins. I need to see my man Chris Cornell !!!

I would love to win this contest and get see Lady GaGA, I love everthing she does. My husband and I also have never been to a concert or to Chicago.

My wife and I love music, and we never get to go to concerts or anything. Mainly due to not having enough money. This could be something that brings us closer and saves our marriage.

I would realize a long-held dream of mine to attend a Devo show while impersonating a Canadian.

I think I deserve to win mainly just because everyone needs a break once in a while. I don't get out very much lol. I've never been to Chicago but I've always wanted to go there. Plus, Devo and Lady Gaga? That would make my life!

I should win these tickets so my spouse and I can see Devo! We've both been humongo Devo fans since around 1980. D-E-V-O!!! The other bands would be cool, too, of course.

I would love to win so I can see Lady Gaga! Shes such an inspirational person! Because of her, I finally figured out its ok to be different or a "freak" and I dont hate myself so much for it anymore. Also Ive never been to a concert or anything like that, so it would be fun to finally get to experience it!

I should win because I have never been to Chicago, Lollapalooza or seen my favorite band Grizzly Bear. That is a triple whammy!

I deserve to win because if I had the money I'd already be going.

I deserve to win becausef I win I will give free hugs for 24 hours straight before leaving to Chicago !

I deserve to go because I've never been to a music festival like Lollapalooza in my life (believe it or not) and I would love to live the experience of it.

I loved Gaga way before her Just Dance days. I am a true fan to the core. She was my Madonna when Madonna was no longer fierce. She rips my heart through my soul, and right back to my brain, leaving me speechless every single time I hear her sing! I was also one of her first fans ever, whom she followed on Twitter. I am her oldskool monster, she ate my heart and then she ate my brain, and I love her-I can't complain! GOO GOO 4 GAGA!!!!

I walked through Times Square on Halloween to see Devo at Radio City Music Hall in the late 70's before Times Square was cleaned up and I danced with the red power domes at my wedding.

I deserve to win because, well I don't know exactly why to be honest, but if I won I would be extremely happy. I mean, I've never been to a concert for God's sake, it's about damn time.

Because I just bought a house, and my budget is busted!! But Lolla this year has all the artists I've ever wanted to see, and I would be devastated if I couldn't go.

I deserve to win because I convinced my Gramps to buy me Devo's "New Traditionalists" album when I was a wee tot at the ripe old age of 8 and it hasn't left my brainwaves since.... It's all Devo's fault! Because of them I now crave music at a pace I can't keep up with... Only Lollapalooza can satisfy my needs!!! Plus, there's the sheer terror I felt at Lollapalooza '92 when Ministry tore up Atlanta and flames and trash were flying everywhere!!! All Ice Cube kept talking about was the police and it was freaking me out.... I've been having panic attacks ever since!!! Then there was that Lollazpalooza in Ogden, UT in '93.... I was blowing dirt outta my nose for WEEKS!!! You guys kinda owe it to me..... Make me a winner!!! P.S. I'm one of Lady Gaga's 'gay gays' and I would really love to get all swaggered-out and get down with Chromeo... The music goes full circle... See what Devo has done to me?!?!?

Because I am the ****.

Hi, I would love to win! It has been a while since we have thought to have fun for us, we are going to be married 28 years! 2 daughters, 2 grandkids-we still love to rock!

Greetings, Beautiful Mutants! I deserve to win this contest because 1. I have been a hopelessly DEVOted DEVO fan for three years now (a bit of a chunk of my life considering I'm not even a legal adult quite yet) 2. I have absolutely no money whatsoever to spend on a rock concert, 3. I am waiting for DEVO to pop my rock concert cherry (meaning I have never seen a rock concert in my life and am waiting to see them) 4. I just won a full-ride merit scholarship to a local college, and I have worked VERY hard during these past four years of high school to earn that (this also means that I haven't had the time to see DEVO on account of studying so hard, and I really need a break, and just because I have college now paid for doesn't mean I have money to see a rock concert) and 5. I want to witness the beauty of a real live rock concert for the first time. This digital age where you can watch concerts online still pales in comparison to the primal pulse of a live drummer, the awe-inspiring strums of guitars, and the sweet harmony of singing voices. I'm not your average member of "generation text" is what I'm trying to say! DEVO's time is running out, and I've got to see them. Thanks.

PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASEE PICK MEEE!!! I LOVE MUSIC!!! especially live music and this years lineup is amazing!! cutcopy, chromeo, dragonette!!! ahhhhh i would do ANYTHING to go!! CHI TOWN is my home but I for personal life events I had to move to NY and it would just be the most amazing thing ever to be able to come back home for an amazing event like this!! CHOOSE ME!!!!:)

I saw Devo in 1980 San Diego(I was in the Air Force at the time). I am in the movie (Urgh a music war)video shot outside waiting to get in to the show. I still love DEVO and would love to share them with my grandson. He knows who they are from the album and CD's we have. I met Rev. Ivan Stang last year at Dragon Con and we talked about his involvment with Devo. Plus I havent been to Chicago.

I want to win this contest because i am such a huge LADY GAGA fan i love her style, she's awesome by far the greatest artist of all time so pick me i'm her biggest fan!!!!

I deserve to win for a few reasons. I'm an active duty military member married to another active duty member. I've just returned from a nine month deployment that was only supposed to be 6. We have 5 children under the age of 10 and none of them seem to get along. When we got married we didn't get a honeymoon as I was immediately shipped out. Both of us suffer from multiple health problems and in trying to get out of debt to create better lives for our kids we haven't even been out to eat together for almost two years. Both of us are fans of 95% of the artists attending and this would be a wonderful chance for a honeymoon we never had.

I deserve to win because I have 5 kids, 3 of which are under the age of 4. I need a nice fun weekend without them for once. I have a lot of health problems. I am a cancer survivor since 2000 cancer free. My husband found me blue/gray and unresponsive in 2007, from a severe PE, and a little over a year ago I went into cardiac arrest and was gone for 4 minutes. I have been through a lot in my 34 years, thats just the icing. Having all access to see Lady GaGa would be a dream come true. To feel young and a live again....please consider me to be your winner, I think I deserve a vacation.

I need to go to this concert! My absolute favorite bands are playing!! Not only will I love the music but my best friend who lives in Japan is flying down and we would love to see this show more then anything!!

this would be amazing. I've always wanted to go to Chicago and i LOVE everyone who's playing. I havent seen my bestfriend in moooonths either and she has the same taste in music, the good kind!! :D
this would make my year. :>
thanks for making the contest!

I've been a DEVO fan my whole life, but too young to see them when they were touring, I would be soooo happy to win this

um i want to because chromeo is awesome and lady gaga is creepy and i guess it would be cool to see her too and i live in chicago so i would save you guys some money on the plane tickets

The friend I am thinking about bringing is a non-believer and does not appreciate nor understand the love of Gaga. I will convert the non-believer if I am able to go!

Don't be gay.

B-)

I deserve to win because Lady GaGa is the hottest thing since Cindy Lauper, Madonna and Marlyn Manson

i work hard all year and never get to take a vacation cuz i cant never afford one! id love to go it would be so great!

Man, I haven't seen DEVO in over 25 years! I'm from thier home town and would love to see them again!

I lovvvvve devo and lady gaga is my idol please send me !!!!

August 7 is my birthday and i can't think of any better way to spend it than a Devo concert in Chicago!

I THOUGHT DEVO WAS THE BEST ACT AT COACHELLA 2010!!!! I WAS BLOWN AWAY YOU ROCKED MY LIVER!!!!

I am an intense devo fan. I strongly belive in Devolution, I have hunted down every album on vinyl (in exception to Smooth Noodle Maps, its tricky to find), I own an energy dome. I have been following the new album since they premiered their new songs in Dallas. Thus I am a good candidate to go on behalf of the spudboys worldwide.

I am CLUB DEVO Member # 000011 and have been a devoted fan since the very beginning. It would be an absolute honor to witness Lollapalooza in person.

I will represent the spuds to the fullest- confronting De-Evolution to the best of my ability!!

My father is a HUGE Devo fan and has been listening to them since about 1979. Actually, he was the one who turned me into a fan as well. I was hoping that, if I should win, I would take him to the show as a belated father's day gift. I would also like the opportunity to see Greenday, AFI, and Wolfmother as I am a fan of these bands but don't get to go to concerts very often.

I am a huge, huge Devo fan and I've never gotten to experience the supposedly beautiful city of Chicago. I think the combination would prove to be something of a life-changing experience for me.

i would do anything to be able too see lady gaga she's such an inspiration to me her music has gotten me through many things in my life, she's just amazing i adore her!

I've been a DEVO fan forever!! Great music, great times and great memories!!! If I win I'm bringing my best friend who still remembers all those high school bus rides to basketball games with "Through Being Cool", "Whip It" & "Jerkin Back & Forth" blaring on the bus!! Plus I LOVE Chicago!!

I would love to win these tickets as times have been tough for my family financially. I was going to take my wife's little sister as she's never been to a concert festival before. We are both big fans of most of the bands at this year's Lollapalooza. (the rest we just need to listen to) I am making a big move to start a new job in the next couple months. It would be great to see family again and do something that I love.

Everyone DESERVES to win, but only one can. I don't know anything about DEVO other than Whip It (whip it good, please!) and I think I deserve to win. I want to take my girlfriend with me if I do win, just to show her a good time, to see a smile on her face. We can't afford to go anywhere just yet and I want to take her out.

i should win because i have a seven inch syringe shooting DEVO into my vein tattoed on my right arm. mark mothersbaugh drew it. that is commitment. i deserve these tickets.

devo, devo, devo!!!!

I should win, because I have not been able to afford a vacation in 10 years, nor a great concert in more then 15 years and I am one of those rare people that at my age love Lady GaGa,and Love her music. She reminds me of a modern day Madonna and I was rocking to Devo before most these kids were born!

I'm as Beautiful as a woman could be. I want to shine in the crowd so that DEVO can see me and sing straight to me...and deliver my ears some GREAT ear candy! PLeeeeease, I LOVE DEVO, " GO FORWARD! MOVE AHEAD! " and gimme the winning tickets...I beg You, with this " UNCONTROLABLE URGE " to Win!!!!

I am passionate about performance art!!!! I am designing Lady GaGa's house...... it's as conceptual as she is!!!!!!

I deserve to win because I saved Bob #2 (or was it #1) from being pushed off a balcony on the Freedom of Choice Tour at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston! If it wasn't for me, none of you children would not have been able to see them!

I should be the winner because way back before even Whip It, I used to get beat up in high achool for listening to Devo (and Talking Heads and the Ramones, etc etc). More than 30 years later, they're finally getting their due and it'd be great to see them in this setting.

I know I am supposed to leave a comment as to why I should win, but really, how can any one say that they deserve to win something as huge as this? All I can say is music has been a big part of my life. If it weren't for music, I am not so sure I would be standing here today. I have had many hardships in my life, from an alcoholic parent who turned to drugs, to being abused, to always being the outcast. Music was always that one thing there for me, that didn't judge me on where I was living, what I was wearing... It was there for me when I had no one else to turn to. Music has always been my outlet, it made me strong when I was feeling my weakest. Music became the lyrics of my life. Now, I am sure someone who boasts of being "Lady Gaga's Number 1 Fan" will end up winning this contest. But I believe that music is so much more then the artist themselves, it's the lyrics, the message, the feeling you get when your heart beats to the rhythm of you favorite song. It's the emotions carried with it... Emotions & music go hand & hand. So good luck to those who have entered to win. I am sure that this event will be amazing. :)

I should win because i love to rock and it would be awesome, it has been a rough year and i need a break

Who wouldn't want to go? My daughter and I have had some awesome experiences at concerts but have never been to Lollapalooza. It would be a life changer I'm sure. Whoever wins, Have Fun, ENJOY:)

Myself and my girlfriend are intense Devo fans and this would be an amazing chance to get to see them during their latest tour for their first new album in 20 years. I even have a homemade Devo "energy dome" that I wore during my college graduation a couple years back... just to show how DEVO-ted I am to the band. Anyways, I think it would be an amazing experience and thank you for the consideration.

Green Day is my favorite band of all time. I first heard their music when I was 15 years old and it opened me up to the world of music that I live today. I didn't even really listen to music all that much until I heard Green Day, but now my entire life revolves around it. I do sound and set up at a local venue in Seattle, and It's all I look forward to every week. Music is my life, and It's all thanks to Green Day.

Ummmm. Hello. I had a Lady Gaga themed party at my house. I am a true super fan who needs to be reunited with my idol promptly. My BF who WILL come with me once i win these tickets is a grunge freak who loves soundagrden more than me. WE MUST GO. IF you dont choose us to go to lalapalooza roxwell.com will lose all credibility as a website and fail. This is simply the truth of the matter, no hyperbole required. It is imperative to fly us to chicago! This is a command not a request. Google me *****!

"Would you always? Maybe sometimes? Make it easy... Take your tiiime."
These songs by these artist have significant meaning to me.
One of my favorite bands mixed in with other amazing ones.
One couldn't ask for more!
ahhhh I would take my sister, because her Birthday is August 7th and that's during the concert. She LOVE Lady Gaga. ahhh It would be a great experience for us.

Chromeo is the best band in the world!! I have always tried to make their concerts but it has always been impossible. Don't let me get started on the others who are going to be there! Absolutely great. Being a college student means your always broke so this would be the greatest thing ever!!

i love chromeo, cyprus hill, devo, ladyy gaga, and green day. i would love to make it up to my little brother by taking him to this concert. we grew up poor and never really got to go to one. i owe him big time :) so please please please

I am a huge Devo fan, and this would be the ultimate experience. Plus, I've never been to Chicago, so that's a plus also!! Devo has been part of the soundtrack to my life for a very long time. When I hear their music, I can't help but be happy!!

Im differenta nd Unique. im not going to suck up because im sure thats what everyones been doing. i swear i would do anything for these tickets. I love lady gaga. ppl hate on her cuz shes different. Well there just haters. This would make my whole life if i won these tickets OMG! =)

Dear, Roxwel

About twelve odd years ago a group of Russian spies destroyed everything I loved. My house, my marriage & several valuable pieces from the family beanie baby collection. I've been on the hunt for them ever since, travelling all corners of the globe, exhausting most if not all of my income. Like a wise man once said "Leave no stone unturned, no bread left unbuttered." I live very closely by those words, but in lieu of my recent financial struggles I was close to having to give up. That is until a source of mine received some valuable information..... ONE OF THE SPIES LIVES IN CHICAGO & apparently is a HUGE Blues Traveler fan. Please, Roxwel give me Lollapalooza tickets so that I may avenge the death of Derby the fine Mane Horse & may time provide, rock out to the sweet Indie Rock sounds of Yeasayer.

Love, Rebekah

I will document the entire experience for Roxwel readers. I'm fun, can schmooze with the best of them and am never afraid to get dirty. The lineup makes me cream my jeans whenever I look at it and I am a about to be a broke ass college graduate who needs something to look forward to because this economy is crushing my spirits. I fight the pessimism with the sweet sounds of music and I ALWAYS BRING IT.

Because I am her biggest fan, about to graduate law school and I am broke as hell!!! I would looove to see her and the rest of the line up. It would be a wonderful gift to myself, if I could afford it.

music is inspirational to me at all times and this lineup is amazing. being able to see this would be absolutely ace. thank you

Because I'm a HUGE fan of Arcade Fire (Neon Bible was one of the best albums of 2007), Lady Gaga, Cut Copy, Chromeo, The xx, and Metric! Pick me! pick me!

I would loveeeeeeee to go to because I love Cut Copy!!!!!!!!!! PLeaseeeeeeee
thank you

Lolla is on my bucket list. I live for music and the lineup is epic. My best friend and I have rented an RV and driven down to Coachella, we've flown to Austin for city limits, and going to Lolla together would be perfection. My favorite city, my favorite person, music, music, music. Ooh...let my good karma finally pay off!

cuz i am a big death metal fan but love Gaga!!!

I would love to go because it has always been my dream to go to lolla, I have never been to a music festival and I think it would be a great experience. The bands that would be there include some of my favorites, such as cut copy, the strokes, and phoenix. I want to go so badly! I also have always wanted to visit chicago! Thanks

The first band I ever saw was the Strokes. I was 16 and the venue was the Argon Ballroom. I can honestly say it was the best experience of my life. I say this regardless of the fact that my lifeless girlfriend, who I begrudgingly took with, was whimpering at the back of the crowd about "how hot she was." Needless to say that relationship ended after I sent her to grab some water and b-lined towards the stage. Before I saw that the Strokes were playing Lola, I was ready to hold up a bank in order to go see them at Rockness. (This is a music festival in Scotland, tickets would have cost a lot!) But then when I saw that not only the Strokes, but MGMT, Cypress Hill, (Motha F#ckin) Cut Copy!, Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, Social Distortion and so many more would play at the Palooza, I knew then and there if I missed this show I would never forgive myself. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

I would really like to enjoy this experience with my best friend since elementary school. We share musical adventures and this would definitely be the icing on the cake.

I have not been away from New York in the last 7 years, and I've been working damn hard! I deserve to win this contest because my 3 favorite artists will be there- Lady Gaga, Social Distortion, AND Gogol Bordello- and I want to be there, too. I have tried and failed to get tickets to the Monster Ball, but it's impossible on a teacher's salary. A full pass to Chicago would more than make up for it;)

Chicago is where i WANTED to go to school, but alas it didnt work out because of money. So the chance to be in my favorite city AND see my favorite artists such as la roux, the xx, frightened rabbit and lady gaga would make this broke college student from MI awfully happy!

I know of and love 90% of Lollapalooza's lineup, but unfortunately im a poor college student from CA who cant afford a festival pass, a hotel room, AND a plane ticket :( so please consider me as the winner of your contest! :)

I am a huge fan of Soundgarden, Green Day, Social D, and Wolfmother and I am a fan of a lot of the lesser known bands playing! I am a college student in Idaho, so my opportunities to see concerts are extremely limited. Lollapalooza is one of the most legendary festivals of all time, and I can't imagine how great it would be to go, so please send me to Lollapalooza!

I absolutely love Lady Gaga and the windy city! This would be an amazing opportunity since I'm a college student and don't have the funds to see a whole lot of concerts or travel.

Its a dream of mine to go to the legendary Lollapalooza. The lineup this year is fantastic, as are the lineups every year, really. I have been such a big Strokes fan for years and have never had a chance to see them live so this would just be hands down the greatest experience ever.

Lady Gaga is the ultimate idol...in music, fashion and all of pop culture!! love love love Gaga

I've loved Arcade Fire since Funeral. Lady Gaga is the greatest thing to happen to pop music in years. Green Day and the Strokes are old favorites. And of course the XX and the Black Keys are incredible too. Please make this girl happy, and SEND ME TO LOLLAPALOOZA!!!!

I have been mad about The Arcade Fire since I first heard them three years ago, and I managed to come in just as they stopped touring. Now that they have started again, they aren't coming anywhere near me. Please send me to Lollapalooza!

Wolfmother is among the 5 or 6 bands in the present day that I have the most respect for. Their making music that revives and rejuvenates classic rock sound. I work hard in school, I keep my parents happy, and I rarely have time to go to shows at all (only been to 2 in my life). I don't have any other reasons to go besides the fact that I love Wolfmother more than any other band today so, please, let me be the one to enjoy Wolfmother.

Wolfmother and their music have inspired and changed my life for the better. They inspire me to be a better human being and to live my life the best I can. I deserve to win these tickets because I am Wolfmother. In 2009 I drove to Boston to see them, i was in a car accident and almost didnt get to the concert. The EMTs said "Looks like your going to miss that show". My eyes steeled. Then i was almost arrested because of the 'herbal' smell of my car. The officer was kind enough to let me loose. I traversed South Boston on foot with my best friend and brother, I got to my car which was towed, paid the man for dealing with my wreckage, said my goodbyes and then we set off for the concert. I was lucky enough though to show up right before they went on stage and even got an Autograph from the drummer Dave Atkins. I deserve to see that concert because I went through hell to see them once and I think if anyone did that they would deserve to see them again for free.

I would want to win tickets for this because I am such a huge fan of Green Day and of course Soundgarden as well as my little brother. He has been wanting to see them for over 6 years now and this will be the perfect chance for us to see them live. Not to mention this would be a great oppurtunity for us because we have never been out of state before, so it would be a great experience to meet new people and be in a new environment than here in Dallas. I hope that you pick us, that would be great!

I would LOVE to win tickets to this to see Lady Gaga along with the other bands!! I would bring my niece who has never gone to a concert!! This would be a great experience for the both of us!!! We both love music and have a great time together!! She is an awesome person and would love to do something special with her this summer!!!! Thanks for considering us!!!!

so im 23 and i think i deserve these awesome tickets because me and my almost 5 year boyfriend just gave birth to our first loving baby boy elijah and i love erykah badu and music and i think this would be cool trip to win and we both have always wanted to go a concert. So please pick me.

winning these tickets would mean very much to me; my friend says we're already in hell, that this is it, so we just want music in arcade fire sound to delight the senses alive among others to cool our mundane hells with rock n roll. Oi!

i am 37 yrs old and have been losing my vision since 2003. soon i wont be able to SEE the bands.

Well, Im pretty close to Chicago that I dont NEED a flight if I dont have to have one. Also, I LOOOOOOVEEEEEE LADY GAGA!!!!! I dont think you have KNOW how much I love her! hahaha. Shes amazing! Id do anything to meet her!! I deserve to win because I never win anything and I dont have much money to do anything either, but if I dont win... the I wish the person who did to have fun and be safe.

My Name is Heather Maschio, im 20 years old and just ready to explore different kinds of music, people, and atmospheres. I love to travel, and im always the life of the party. these tickets would be the cherry ontop of my year! PICK ME PICK MEEE :]

I would love to win these tickets and everything because I love music and what it has to offer me. I love death metal and surprisingly it has helped me through a lot this past year..and other types of music as well. I know I should write why I deserve to win further but for me its about the chance to see great bands play not about getting away to Chicago for a vacation. I live in Eastern Iowa and no bands really come here and a chance to go see some would be amazing.

OMG! I want to win the trip to lollapalooza because I am a HUGE fan of Lady Gaga's! I would be some appreciative of the opportunity to meet her or at least to get to see her sing in person! This would be an awesome trip and I have always wanted to go to Lollapalooza, but have never had the chance! Please consider me!!!!! This "Little Monster" wants to meet "Mother Monster" REAL bad!!!!!!!!! LOL! I love you Gaga!

I deserve to win because I am a very good friend, aunt, sister and girlfriend and I do a lot of things for a lot of people. Most recently I have been campaigning for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society because my dad has the disease. My sister just moved back to Chicago and I would like to visit her and enjoy a much needed mini-vacation and break to relax. I am a music lover and music is good for the soul!

I would love to win these tickets. To see arcade fire would be a dream come true.. literally. I have dreams that I am at one of their concerts all the time haha. On my list of things to do before I die, seeing Arcade Fire live is number 1. I've watched every video of them playing on youtube that I could find, but it just doesn't cut it. Regine is my idol, and their music has inspired me to play music myself. I love everything about them and to get to see them would be the best day of my life! To see all of the other bands would be amazing too since the lineup has so many of my favorite bands. MGMT, Minus the Bear, the XX, Metric, Grizzly Bear, Phoenix.. ahh it would be the best day EVER. I can't even describe how much I would love to go to this! Pick me. Please.. With sugar on top :)

You music has helped me through hard times. it inspires me to be a better artist my selfe, and i just plain love your songs. theres really no band out there that can even compare with you. I will probly never get the chance to see you live. so might as well give it a try. Arcade Fire Rox!

Please send me! I've had the toughest year, and I was waiting for All Points West this year. But, with my luck, they're showing no signs of life. I love ALL of the bands/artists that are going to perform at Lolla (especially MGMT!!

She is a Great Artist, Singer, and Performer. Her Style is New and Refreshing and I would love to see her perform live.

Erykah is a legend in her own time and I am a huge fan. I would love to win to be a part of an historic moment. Lollapalooza has successfully created historic musical moments for every year it has been in existence. Winning the opportunity to attend this event would give me a chance to surprise my King for his 40th born day celebration, in August, and allow me a chance to relax and have some fun (a huge change from the everyday pace of being a parent, working, and going to school).

I love lady gaga also but arelie222 u should win cause that sux!!!Seriously :)Good Luck Girly!

You should send me, because my mother and i waited in line for 8 hours outside of the mellon arena for the pittsburgh lady gaga concert. the people in front of us bought the last two tickets for the whole show. we were next in line, and i cried for days. i would donate my organs to see her perform. we were so devastated. i'm the most hardcore fan. i have over 60 of her unreleased songs, included her entire original album from when she was a teenager called "red and blue." i'm in college, and this was the only extra thing that i could afford to save money and go to. then her show sold out right in front of us, and i wanted to die. i will do anything to see this show. i've already been through hell for her. we've been entering hundreds of entries into different contests to win tickets. seeing her at this would be the most incredible experience of my life.

you should send me cuz music = my life.

Aug 6th not 8th idk why i said 8th lol..

and my birthday is Aug 8th..it would be an awesome birthday gift from Roxwel!

I deserve to win bc I am Lady GAGA's number one fan from arkansas. I love her sooo much and would absolutely love to see her. I would be so happy i could die. She is a great inspiration to me and her music is the best. I have been her for halloween, i am a member of ladygaga.com and gagadaily.com. her concerts are amazing although i watch them on youtube. I would love to see her live real bad!!!!!! Please pick me Roxwel!! Ive never won anything.

I dont know why only half my comment showed up but...This would seriously be a lifechanging experience for me honestly. Like I love Green Day soo much. I've been a huge fan for a while now but I still haven't gotten to see them in concert. It would be like amazing. Okay, now I just sound like a stupid fan, but seriously I would love this. I love Green Day's look, lyrics, meaning, music, and just the band as a whole. I relate so well to them. This would be a dream come true for me.

Music and my friends are basically is my life. IMAGINE THEM TOGETHER

I NEED TO SEE ARCADE FIRE. That is all.

I live my life for music. There is not a day I cannot go without having music on. My music is like an i.v. It is my medication that gets me through life. I also live to express myself openly because of Lady Gaga, and I do my best to emulate her causes in my life to feel better about myself and let others feel better about themselves, so to see her live perform in such an environment would leave me speechless.

i would like at least one of my dreams come true and that to go to a real event where Lady Gaga will be and just to meet her, I am a huge fan but due to being in a wheelchair I cannot travel much, so this is my wish. Annita

OH MY GOD i need to write another comment just cuz i think green day is so AWESOME!!!! billy Joe Armstrong is my favorite , then i like trey cool, mike Dirnt, Jason freeze Jason white, and Rony Blake in that order GREEN DAY U PWN PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ PICK ME!!!! pllzzzzzzzz i am the only boy in school who likes-loves greenday!!!!

I am 12 years old i love greenday i first heard wake me up when september ends when i wuz 6 and iv been a fan ever since. when i bought my first guitar i learned basket case, brain stew, holiday, and many others. when 21st centry breakdown came out i nearly died when i realized that i had not saved enough $ to go.i was devestated. But this is the first opertunity i will get to see my favorite band with my parent. GREEN DAY U ARE AWSOME!!! please pick me!!!

I am here as an au pair in USA from South Africa and one of my biggest dreams is too see al my favourite artists perform live. I have a great passion for music and a dream of mine is to do something in music too and all of them inspire me to go for what you believe in..They are all really amazing people and would do anything to see them

I have never been to a concert before and my cousin and I LOVE Lady gaga. If she was the first person i would see in concert that would Be so AMAZING :D. So PLEASE let me win these tickets!!

I deserve to go because i have to see lady gaga! She has been an inspiration to me. She know what the freaks, outcasts and the unknowns have to go through. I went to school in a high end high school in Iowa but was treated different due to my families so called "lower level" income. She has helped me through heartbreak and hell as i have had a rough year. I know this sounds short and cheesy but this is me and i want to win more than anything. Please give me a chance at this amazing opportunity! Peace love and little monsters forever!

I fell madly in love with Arcade Fire back in 2007. I remember it like yesterday. It was January and my friend played Crown of Love from Funeral for me and it seemed to melt away the bleak winter day around me. It was love at first sound really. So I quickly got on ticketmaster to see if they were playing in Chicago soon. They were in May. I began to scavenge right then for tickets. It was sold out for three nights straight in January. I couldn't find a ticket anywhere. With a great sigh and deep sting I reserved myself to knowing they would come back through. And then they didn't. I swore as the months passed and no new concerts were posted that whenever they returned to the windy city I would do whatever it took to see them, I would do more for them than I would a klondike bar. Now here is this contest which is possibly allowing me the dream of engulfing myself in the mastery of music that is Arcade Fire live. Please afford me this one pleasure in my seemingly increasingly stressful and pleasureless life.

Bands come and go but Green Day has always been number one for me. I have grown and loved these boys for seven years now and I don't plan on ever stopping. This band means more to me than anyone can imagine. This band has made me the person I am today through their music and who they are. When my ex boyfriend broke up with me i was devastated and cried for a while until my best friend came over and played my favorite Green Day song at the time and it made me feel a lot better. They always make me feel better if i am in a bad mood and that is only one of the many things I love about them. If I win this contest I will be the happiest person ever and be able to die happy.

I should win this contest, other than the fact that this line-up holds many wonderful artists, is because Green Day is more than a band to me. They are part of my life, my being. I have loved them for about eleven years of my life now and they hold a special meaning to me. I owe many friendships and gratitude to them and their music that means so much to me. People may look at me like I'm crazy for this and I know that it's difficult to understand. If I could have a chance to see them headlining Lollapalooza it would definitely be the experience of a lifetime.

Besides that the line up holds some of my most favorite bands/acts, as a musician to even experience Lollapalooza as an attendee is an amazing achievement, in my book. Billie Joe Armstrong is the reason I started playing guitar and sang to write my own music. I was supposed to see Green Day in 2005 on their American Idiot tour, but the day before my friend gave my ticket to somebody else. I had been a Green Day fan for 6 six years, and waited five months for that show. I can honestly say it hurt so bad to be shot down like that. But enough sad stuff, I wanted to see them on their current tour but they didn't come to Portland, and Seattle sold out. So, why not see them at Lollapalooza '10!!! Oh, and of course Lady Gaga! She and Billie Joe are the reason I keep up with music (seems repetitive with the whole Billie Joe thing)! I can also promise that this opportunity, if given to me, will not go to waste, and I will not sell my tickets for money.

I don't deserve to win... I'm a horrible person. I will just sell the tickets to feed my destructive scrap booking habit. For the love of God, please pick someone else!

Ps. April and I have some pretty nice dance moves including: the mashed potato, the space cowboy, and the Charleston. We want to spread our whiskey love!

In 2008, my friend April and I saved up to go to Lollapalooza. The line up that year was ridiculous and we had many sleepless just thinking about it. Unfortunately in July, I was involved in a car accident almost totaling my car. After all of the post-car accident drama, I could not afford to go anymore. =( So, hopefully I will get lucky this year and win this contest. Plus my 21st birthday is July 11 and this will make a great belated birthday gift! =)

Because Music is the window to our souls....and our souls need it in the future so we can overcome this sad economic time in our lives...Music is my passion and drive in life... Arcade Fire is one of my top bands that I can relate to because they get so into their music you can almost hear fire come out of them and I hear they are that much better LIVE....I have always wanted to go to a Lollapalooza Concert but never had the opportunity... I grew up in the music background with hippie parents that always encouraged us to play music...and they taught us that no matter what life may bring, music will always be there for you....whether you are happy, you are sad....it has everything you need....My father who owned a music store also a musician, would bring home an instrument every Friday for my brother and I just to learn about it & educate but also decide what instrument to play...I got that from the cello, harmonica & ukele, my brother plays the guitar, and sings in a punk band....but we were so busy doing that and going to practices everyday, that we didnt have time to be kids if you will....now its my turn!!! I am a 33 single mom cellist, graphic designer, who works from home...I am DYING TO see all the bands but especially ARCADE FIRE!!!!

I didnt get to see them when they came to my town of Austin, TX for ACL fest a few yrs ago but we accidently ran into them at a restaurant during that time...My daughter was playing peek-a-boo with a man behind us in a booth and when he got up to leave he turns and says your daughter is really cute....When I turned around with food in mouth and on my chin, I nearly choked to discover it was Win Butler, lead singer of Arcade Fire and his wife Reggine!!!! ...

Music makes me happy,

I would like to see Lady Gaga at Lollapalooza because I tried and tried to get Standing Room tickets to her St. Paul show, but they sold out in seconds! I have two different weddings on August 6th and it is my birthday on August 7th. I would much rather skip the weddings for Gaga and celebrate my 20th birthday with a BANG!

I have always wanted to go to Lollapalooza, or any music festival for that matter, but as a starving college student from Texas there is no way I could afford tickets, airfare, and a hotel room. Also, my friend and I have been planning a trip for about 3 years and it has never happened due to these money issues. I love music, but never get to go to shows. I would love nothing more than to see Arcade Fire, MGMT, The New Pornographers, Grizzly Bear, Chromeo, Dirty Projectors, Matt & Kim, The Temper Trap, Deer Tick, and Minus the Bear with my older sister.

I have seen many rock icons in my time-i would love to see Lady Gaga,Soundgarden-all the bands-i would take my daughter who has 3 kids-grew up on Bruce ,The Beatles,The Doors,Bowie,Madonna and a million others.music is in our souls and she needs a nice break from her glorious kids-her 2 1/2 year old gavin loves MJ and we moonwalk in my kitchen,all my grands love music-it's always on in my house.Please let my daughter get to Lollapalooza!As much as i want to go-i would give to her and husband-for their 10th anniversary in june.peaceout

I would love to win this contest..........It would definately be a turn-a-round for the last 5 years of hell that I have endured. :)

I think I deserve to win because I am a college student who has excellent grades but still needs a break from the stress of school, loves to go to concerts, and a huge LADY GAGA fan!!!!

I would like to win so i could take my 13 year old daughter loves lady gaga and green day and it would make her life, i have three other kids so we dont get to go do to many things with the way the economy is .

I NEED to see Soundgarden. NEED.

Personally, I think you should give the tickets to a single mother of twins who has worked very hard over the last 12 years, needs a vacation, and would love to experience some of the stuff she has heard Rock God Jesse talk so much about...just sayin. :-)

Because Lollapalooza would only pay airfare for the first 18 members of the Arcade Fire, and somehow deemed my washboard and triangle skills "unnecessary". This wrong needs to be righted. Also the guitarist from Soundgarden borrowed $15 bucks from me at an Albuquerque 7-11 in '91. said he was good for it.

Because my 3-yr old daughter's first words were "Dah dah, I want to go to f'ing Lolla with you!" ... I was so proud, so let's make this happen! And remember, if I don't win, a child (and maybe even a kitten) will cry.

i want to win so I can go and actually enjoy the festival, rather than work at it!

Kings of Leon,
This ain?t no neon:

Sitting in the sun
Relaxin? having some fun.

Dancing to Miike Snow,
I find myself a new beau.

Vampire Weekend,
Hangover on the mend.

Now I?m at Santigold
Trip to the beer garden put on hold.

Ra ra riot,
They sure as hell aren?t quiet.

Make my way to Crystal Castles,
Music cures all the hassles.

Makes me feel oh so fine,
On Cloud Soundtribe Sector Nine.

I?m kickin? it at Lolla,
Give me a holla!

ummm...because i'm a badASS & can rock VIP like no other?!? yesssssch :-)

*Roxwel not Roxell, I'm just too excited. lol

I think I should win because I don't think that guy "Rock God Jesse" should.

I feel I should win because I have never been to Lollapalooza and what better way to have your first time all access VIP!!!! There are so many bands that I love playing this year. It would be amazing. I might even propose to my girlfriend in front of Green Day, why not?? Thanks for the chance to win. Roxell certainly Rocks Well!!!!

I should win because I'm exteremly handsome, nice and in general people like me. Let's just cut to the chase and give me the prize. You'll thank me later.

I should win because Chicago is my hometown and in case I wander off randomly after the excitement of the Soundgarden reunion I will know to veer away from the lake side of the park and thus avoid any awkward aquatic accidents.
