When I found out Kid Rock was coming to Toledo I was SO EXCITED.
He is my all time favorite singer with so much energy and his concerts are always SO MUCH FUN.
Obviously, when I heard about this special Kid Rock Rebel Soul contest I IMMEDIATELY signed up, as I'm sure many of you did.
I knew my chances were slim, but just the thought of winning a "once in a lifetime opportunity" related to my man was enough to keep be hopeful -- and not care about the $15 I paid.
Much to my surprise, and excitement, the following week I received an email back.... I HAD WON THE CONTEST!! OHMYGOD I WAS GOING TO HAVE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE AT A KID ROCK CONCERT!!!
I was so excited because only 2 people per area were allowed to be chosen, so it felt like I had won the lottery!!
But then, as I continued reading, I found out that Kid Rock Rebel Soul had messed up my entry. They entered my name into a city that I don't have tickets to and my stomach immediately dropped -- I wanted to throw up.
All of my hopes and dreams were granted and taken away with one sentence and I was immediately CRUSHED.
I sent KRRS an email back telling them about their mistake, and saying how all of my dreams would be forever crushed if they took my winner status away from me. I mean, how could they do that? I had WON. They took my name and put it in the wrong city -- did I ever even stand a chance for the Toledo show?
Finally, today, KRRS sent me an email back. "I'm sorry," they said, "but since the Toledo winners were already chosen, my status (and dreams) as a winner has to be taken away." Don't worry, though, they've offered to give me a nice T-shirt in order to sooth the pain.
Overall, I am completely disappointed with how KRRS handled the situation. How would one of you feel if you had won? I know the concert will still be fun, but I just cant help but wonder what it would have been like to have that ONCE IN A LIFETIME MOMENT at my favorite concert..................
Thanks for your kind words

I feel bad for them, but agree with you. Knowing him, he'll make it right...possibly even something better. You never know.

as terrible of a mistake this was something (besides a shirt) will come out of this..Have faith, and be positive..and if something doesn't happen at this show maybe there is something grander in your future.

Sorry Kelly I had something
Sorry Kelly I had something like this happen to me this year too...regarding a good chunk of CASH...I am finally OK with it . Hey what size shirt ya wear I have a brand new Medium kidrock shirt never worn from his concerts last year I will never fit into . Id like to sweeten the pot a little...and why can't there be 3 people up on stage bob can keep track of 3 of yas.. it would just mean that someone would have to share the time.. you all could do that your'e all adults ... Maybe Bob will do something about it too...it kinda sucks the sweaty ones ;)
Really nice of you, WTF, and
Really nice of you, WTF, and a fine suggestion of having 3 peeps as well..what's the dif? That would have been my solution from the get-go.....Topspin? What Say You? Get some verification of the mistake, and fix this for Kelly...in the name of goodwill, marketing, or just because It's The Right Thing To Do....a tee shirt (from Topspin) really doesn't cut it...

I'm sorry Kelly. That's a
I'm sorry Kelly. That's a very unfortunate situation but I think there probably isn't anything they can do if the winner were already notified to that city. I mean it sucks and my heart would be broken too. I just think there isn't anything they can do even if it was their mistake. I'm sorry. = (
