But to get this right, you called during the promo and it kept on ringing until you won? No other calls other than 1 this time? 

This is something I don’t think we have heard yet?

No, I called early the other day and it just rang for like 5 minutes straight and usually I get 2 rings and call circuits busy. I called during the tail end of the promo knowing it was gonna be next. But once it rang the 3rd time I had a feeling they were clearing the lines and I'd be wasting my call. Bold move I know, but had a feeling it was too early to have so many rings. called 14 more times and got through at 9:56.

Well, i guess some of us don't have a chance based on this. My very first call was at 9:58 when the second  the song played and you already won 2 minutes before my call. My delay must be way behind.

Congrats on the win !! Glad to see real fans from here win.

Good LUCK tomorrow.

Yep, the Dave show was the reason for the trip, was a nice venue and GA floor, but still double the size of the Apollo, haha. well done indeed on that. Nice catch.

Haha I love Dave. Can’t wait for Mohegan x2 and SPAC x2. I did the couch tour for Vegas and then listened multiple times live. The energy was palpable and that set list!!!!

See ya at SPAC! We are camping at Moreau. We thought about NH too but that might be a bit much after SPAC weekend. Wish we could do gorge but can’t do that after finishing NP school.

When music worlds collide!! Lol I'm also going to DMB @ SPAC, Denver, Gorge, and Irvine. Been following them live since 99 but a PJ fan since they hit the airwaves. If only PJ toured as much and their tickets weren't so dang difficult to come by! Alas, back ti the phones tomorrow!

Verizon cell phone, usually have the house phone trying too but it was in use. Jumped the gun and called during the promo and it kept ringing, which it rarely goes past 2 rings and I had a feeling I got caught in the endless ringing loop that has happened before they play it, I believe that is when they are clearing the lines. I was listening on the actual radio in my living room (I only had the streaming subscription and once I found out about the delay I got the portable radio and sound system before the contest started.) I believe it was shortly into the next song which I don't even remember what it was and I think it rang but am honestly not sure. Did not hear any background music. A woman answered and asked my name and everything after that is a blur. I just got back from my first trip to Vegas late last night and it seems I brought back some luck with me. Add me to the list of lucky ones going to Apollo, Baltimore, MSG. Keep at it everybody!

Well done. Congrats again on the win and enjoy all those shows!!!

In a weird way i’ll miss this group of us when this all ends

Me too.  We’ll have to start an Apollo contest survivors thread. 

We ain’t got nothing on the hard cases over in the Fan To Fan For Dummies thread. 

I’ve been trying so hard for Baltimore from the beginning and have missed so many.  Getting very discouraged.  I basically couldnt focus on Apollo bc unfortunately I let my XM acct lapse last year. If anyone wants to have mercy on me and take me as their +1, I’m very cool.  You will like me.  You would make me so happy!  I live in Jersey and it’s hard to imagine that I have no way in to the Apollo other than the Omaze contest (where my chances are like 1 in 1,000,000,000) or begging.  I think I like my chances begging better so here I am!  😂 

Lostpawn

Good luck to everyone today!  3 pair in play, let’s get 3 winners!

cp3iverson

Oh man.  Had a dream last night that I gave it one last call after I thought someone had won.  Some picked up and said “Hi you’re #22 who’s this??”  I started yelling “did i win??”   It was too real.  They even got my info and put me on hold!  And then.....Apple Alarm Clock music.  

 3 tries today i guess.

Good luck, y'all!!

Good morning! Another day, another chance to win. Here's a briefing for today (Wednesday). Three chances today!

Song of the week: Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Call in window: 9 am - 2 pm EST (6 am - 11 am PST)
Chances to win: 2
Number: 855-973-2755

Faithfull Forum
Call in window: 5 pm - 6 pm EST (2 pm - 3 pm PST)
Chances to win: 1
Number: 855-973-2755

Listening Tips:

• Online and satellite listeners have both won. They seem to start taking callers at online start time.
• Online starts to play 2-2.5 minutes after satellite.
• Satellite listeners have graciously posted here when the song starts. F5 is your friend.
• A short promo for the contest typically plays before the song of the week is aired. That promo is typically shorter and includes audio of previous winners. updated
• PJ Radio confirmed two plays for rest of contest with a like on Twitter.
  
• There is typically at least 1 hour between each play, but has been longer.

Dialing Tips:

• When dialing, if you hear "all circuits are busy", "your call can not be completed", or get a standard busy signal, hang up and call again. Otherwise, wait!
  
• Fans that have gotten through have reported dead air or hearing background music before a human picks up.
• They don't announce the winner on air (except during the FF), but many have been trying for 10-15 minutes before giving up.
• Ice cream can be used to keep children occupied while dialing (@MakeUSmile).

Faithfull Forum:

• Rob has given them away early in the show and late in the show. He typically gives notice at the beginning.
• Week 1 started at 6 pm EST. Week 2 and 3 started at 5 pm EST. Week 4 (today) starts at 5 pm EST.

Good luck everyone!
