#Giveaway | PLANETSHAKERS LIVE IN MANILA 2015!

NOTE: This blog post has been revised, and the giveaway has been extended another 24 hours!

Not feeling very creative with my post title today. Haha. I need to rush off to a meeting after lunch. But anyway...

Look at these tickets. Patron. Section 103 and Front Row seats, baby!!!

So yes, as announced on my Facebook Page yesterday, I am giving away two (2) Patron tickets to the August 14 Planetshakers concert! Aside from that, I am putting together two Swag Bags as consolation prizes (EDIT: Sponsor has added two more Swag Bags, so we now have a total of four (4) consolation prize winners). So I shall pick a total of five winners for this quick giveaway. So easy to join (well, easy is relative but you get my point), just follow the steps on Rafflecopter below.

PLEASE READ!
Just a few reminders if you are joining this giveaway (oops, I published for a minute without this, but I need to get this out there so...):

ONLY JOIN IF...
... you can watch on Friday, AUGUST 14.
... you can claim the ticket prize at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on or before 7PM.
... you have a date with you when you pick up your prize (YOU CANNOT SELL THESE TICKETS. I WILL PERSONALLY HAND THEM TO YOU AS YOU WALK IN).

If you are joining for a friend, or a relative, you must be the one to claim the prize, and your 2pax using the tickets must be with you. I apologize now for being strict with the ticket prize because like you, I do not want these tickets to go to waste. I have witnessed people joining giveaways only to sell their prizes. Let us give these tickets to those who really want to worship with the band. I think they deserve to win over those who just join for the money, agree?

Also, just so we're clear, I will NOT take a selfie with the tickets in case you want to forfeit your prize. So please don't expect me to do so. I will be at the concert venue to work. Okay? Okay.

Winners will be picked randomly, and will be announced on the blog Thursday - we have exams this week! You must have a valid ID and a working mobile number in order to claim your tickets. Swag bags will be shipped to the consolation prize winners.

That's it. Share the blog post. Share the giveaway. Practice generosity. ;) And I hope to see you on concert night!

Planetshakers CD Winners Here!

How was your long weekend? Me? I did what I always wanted to do, laze around with the kids. Teehee. Honestly, I would have wanted to clean the attic, but my nanny decided she'd take the long weekend off to see her girls, so I guess I have to save that task for another rainy day.

The long weekend allowed me some reflection, too. But let me discuss that on another post. I wanna think happy thoughts today.

Anyway, I picked winners for the Day 11 c/o Rafflecopter! Here are our winners of 5 signed Planetshakers CDs!

PS. I'd like to thank you all for your patience. And to all my loyal readers who leave me notes on Twitter, Facebook and via email, I appreciate you.

And The Winners Are...

So, my officemate D (for Dugong! LOL!) was supposed to pick winners Monday morning. Turns out he was on leave for the long weekend (oops), and I didn't want anyone else to do the honors. So we moved the draw to today.

Entries!

There were dozens of entries but noticed that a lot of you didn't bother with the bonus (why?). So anyway, I checked each and every tweet, double-checked your accounts to see if I failed to see a retweet, checked for comments, etc. And finally had everything set up for D to draw the winners.

Dugong picking winners the old way. Names in a cup!

We decided not to roll the names up anymore as it was getting late and we had A LOT of entries. So after cutting them up we mixed it, and placed the names in a cup. D decided the mixing wasn't enough so he mixes the lot over and over again (seriously!). And again, after each name was drawn.

And so, the winners are... (drumroll please!)

CONSOLATION PRIZE: FIVE (5) NO COMPROMISE SHIRTS from WORSHIP GENERATION

You each win one (1) No Compromise Shirt! Congratulations! 

SWAG ATTACK PRIZE: FIVE (5) HEAL OUR LAND CDS by the PLANETSHAKERS

Launching Next Week!

Integrity Music announces the April release of Heal Our Land, a new two-disc album featuring a 12-track CD and bonus DVD from Melbourne, Australia's Planetshakers band.

Latest release from Planetshakers - HEAL OUR LAND. CD+Bonus DVD, P495.00 

Heal Our Land is the 24th project from the Aussie worshippers since the band's formation in 1997. And it is the second release to be distributed under their new partnership with Integrity, following last fall's release of Nothing Is Impossible.

Originally formed to lead worship for the first Planetshakers conference held in Australia, the Planetshakers band is passionate about uniting generations worldwide through worship. Their goal is to see people encounter God, be transformed by His presence and empowered to make a difference in their world. And though they tour internationally, the team remains based out of Planetshakers City Church, a multi-campus, 7,800-member congregation in Melbourne that is pastored by husband and wife, Russell and Sam Evans. 

Recorded live at last year's Planetshakers Conference, Heal Our Land offers up new songs of passionate, vertical praise and sung prayers including the anthemic title track based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. The project features Planetshakers team members including Sam Evans, Rudy Nikkerud and Joth Hunt, who also produced the album.

Israel Houghton LIVE in Manila!

GM, my friend and co-DJ on Just For Teens (yes, was a kid DJ sometime back), has been bugging us about getting Israel Houghton (pronounce as Hoh'-tin and not Hew-ton, folks) to come over to the Philippines for a concert. I've been trying to explain to everyone that we're only distributors and have no hand (really) in bringing artists in (well except for a few who actually ask for our help). So when I heard from the grapevine about Israel coming over, I sent GM a message right away.

Yes, folks, it's finally happening! Israel Houghton is coming to Manila! What's more, he's bring the whole gang with him! Yes, that's right, The New Breed's coming, too! And if that isn't enough to get you all extra giddy and jumping up and down, they're also having The Planetshakers share the stage with them! Not one, not two, but 3 amazing artists in one night! Woohoo!

My officemate says this is going to be like November's SAVED Festival, but I think this is way bigger. Having Israel Houghton here is a feat. I remember seeing a concert poster in Singapore back during the New Year holidays and thought they must be extra blessed to have him visit. But alas, he's coming here! FINALLY!

Mark your calendars! It's all happening on the 21st of April 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Show starts at 730pm, while gates open at 530pm. If you haven't got tickets yet, I seriously suggest you go get yourself one. NOW! Tickets have been selling like hotcakes (because apparently, it's not only GM who's excited to see Israel Houghton LIVE in Manila! Ha!).

Date: April 21, 2012
Venue: Smart Araneta Coliseum
Time: 7:30PM 


Ticket Prices:
VIP (Reserved Seating) - P1800 
PATRON (Reserved Seating) - P1500 
LOWER BOX (Reserved Seating) - P1200 
UPPER BOX A (Reserved Seating) - P800
UPPER BOX B (Free Seating) - P500
GEN AD (Free Seating) - P 250

Tickets are available at Ticketnet (911-5555) and at the Becca Music Office (9105524/ 9105352). But you'd better act fast, because last I heard, they've sold out of VIP and Patron tickets! You may also reserve online via www.beccamusic.com/reservations.

If you don't know who Israel Houghton is, you'd probably be surprised to realize that you actually know most of his songs - "Friend of God", "Lord, You are Good", "Here I Am to Worship", "Moving Forward", etc. I was discussing this concert with some girlfriends two weeks ago, and T tells me "I know the songs, I just didn't know it was Israel who sang them!" LOL!

For someone who has won dozens of awards, you'd think Israel Houghton would be a household name in the Philippines. Well, he will be - after this event. That's for sure.

DON'T MISS THIS!

Are You Ready for This?

April 21. 730PM. At the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Mark your calendars! If you haven't gone to get your tickets, get them NOW! 
VIP, Lower Box, and Upper Box A have SOLD OUT!
