    as always we assuming in the forum..its fun..

    i know for sure about this "worldwide"contest ,that a guy from Montana will have more chances to win this than someone from Greece..
    cos he needs to Drive to go to the show 10-20 min ,so why not to join the contest even for fun,and a guy from Greece need to pay 2000$ only for flights and be 24 hours at airports and air...

    I'd prefer a guy from Greece win - I need a picture for the Group Hug thread ;)

    This sounds like a whole bunch of SOUR GRAPES to me. There is absolutely no evidience that anything was shady. Just another thing to complain about.

    You might want to consider that this contest may have been promoted around Montana....if it was, there would probably be more local entries than thru the 10C.
    Also....did the contest allow multiple entries? If so, it wouldn't take much for someone to dump $10k in entries in under a few specific names...if that's the case...pretty greasy, but still legit.

    There was an opportunity to enter the contest for free. I did, about 100 times. I have no idea if more than one entry counted.

    Actually my TV will be very sad the weekend of Sept 30 because I will be in Missoula at the show.

    Also the initial argument that this was a worldwide contest is incorrect which was previously lamented in other post by those from Canada who could not believe this was only for US residents which is because of the campaign finance regulations and the accountability requirements which were stated in the contest rules.

    http://www.jontester.com/pearl-jam-contest-rules/

    Also in the rules above is stated all the contact info to follow up on the contest winners infromation and it looks like in Rule 8 you could have even gone to Tester Campaign HQ for the drawing on Aug 24 according to the rules.

    The total estimated value of the prize was $3410 so is it really worth rigging the contest to save on airfare using logic and intelligence???

    I emailed them during the contest and was told "one entry" per person would be valid, not sure how they were trimming those down but most likely it was unique email addresses or phone numbers.

    There are security checks being done for the meet and greet and the contest since you will be near a Senator so I am sure valid info was key to winning or since it was "rigged" I am sure they just picked who they wanted/sarcasm.

    Sure smells fishy, for sure. But certainly mathematically possible! And nothing you or we can do except either protest everything the band does and burn effigies of the band members in our yards...or congratulate the lucky dude with a sweet beard and move on with our lives 8-)

    Sure sounds happy! Good for him.

    Maybe they'll introduce the guy and we can all boo him before they break into The Fixer.

    Making baseless accusations because you're sour about losing a drawing doesn't make you a free thinker. It makes you come off pathetic.
