Win tickets to sold out Radiohead concert in Dallas (take two)

By Erin Rice

You may have noticed our previous contest to win Radiohead tickets. After a month we've realized the error of our ways and have changed the contest up a bit (a lot). Details below.

We have two pairs of lawn tickets to see Radiohead at the Superpages.com Center on Sunday, May 18. This concert is sold out. However, the two Pegasus News users who post the most YouTube videos on our band pages can secure their blanket locale on that sweeping, beer soaked lawn.

Here's the easiest way to find and post these videos. First, check out our list of local bands in the PegNews database (you get about 1700 to work with): pegasusnews.com/bands/search. Second, go to YouTube.com and type in that band's name. Click on any one of the videos that come up so it takes you to the hub page for that video. Highlight the URL (not the embed code) and copy it. Finally, go back to that band's page on Pegasus News, enter in any information you have on the video (the name of the band, where they are playing, date they're playing, name of the song, etc - if you can't get all this information, that's fine, but enter as much as you can) and paste the URL underneath.

Example on the Baptist Generals' PegNews band page:

Guidelines

• The video has to be from YouTube (no MySpace, Google, or other video players will work or be counted);
• We only want music videos and live performances. We don't want (and won't count) interviews with the band, tour blogs, or other videos that don't contain a performance and/or the band's own music. There will probably be questions about this, so feel free to ask questions in the comments below;
• You have to be registered to leave a comment on any page of our site, but registration is free and easy, so no sweat;
• Each video counts for one. If a video has more than one song in it, it's still just one video. You can post multiple videos in a single comment (provided it's for the same band), and we'll give credit for each video posted in the comment;
• No duplicates. If the video you want to post is already on our site in a story or on a band page, there are tons of others out there.

The contest starts now and will run through 4:00 p.m. CST on Wednesday, May 14. The two (2) users who post the most videos that meet the requirements above will win a pair of tickets to see Radiohead. Good Luck!
