i deserve these tickets because i will post them on craigslist, sell them, then spend the proceeds on the cover at holocene and booze.

I deserve these tickets because I promise that if you give me them I will duct tape off an extra section of sidewalk so you can join me at this years Rose Parade.

I deserve the tickets because i've been living in Tigard the past two years. Recently got hit by a car because there are no bike lanes here. Been surviving off gas station pies and corndogs because of the lack of culinary passion around here and I only have one nut.

I deserve these tickets because my significant other and I are desperately trying to have a baby. (And what better baby making music than Matt Costa?) We'll wait till after the show, of course.

I deserve these tickets because one of my really good friends that does so much for me really wants to go to this. She is in love with Matt Costa, and if I could do something nice like this for just once, well not even that would be enough to repay her for everything she's done for me.

I don't deserve shit (but I'd really like those tickets.)

I don't have a sob story. I'm not gonna bribe anyone for those tickets by telling them I'll take you nor am I gonna sell them to make extra money. I just feel I deserve those tickets for one simple reason. I appreciate Matt Costa's music. It soothes my soul and puts me in a great mood. To hear him live in concert would be so awesome and to take my best friend with me would be twice the fun! So if I win them, it would be one of the greatest (and luckiest) days of my life! If not, tough luck. Thanks!

I deserve those tickets because it's been a rough week,
My boss is a bitch and my roof's got a leak.
It's pouring down rain, no sign it'll slow,
Please, for the love of God, let me go to the show!

I'll do anything for tickets, even take off my top,
I dig this guys music... don't want it to stop!
I want to be there to dance and to cheer,
Come on, guys, help a girl out here!

My best friend doesn't have cancer, my dog's still alive,
I just want to be there, to groove and to jive.
It's my only night off, and I didn't get tix,
Come on, hook me up -- so I'll get over being pissed.

You know you wanna...

I have the biggest G-rated crush on Matt Costa due to his fabulous songwriting skills, sexy stage presence, artsy creative edge and his songs speak to my soul!

I haven't encountered any shaggy-haired, sweaty hipsters in the last, oh...two minutes, and I'm experiencing skinny jean withdrawal.
