Give some blood, get some Keith Urban tickets

Many people give blood, sweat, and tears to get tickets to their favorite concert anyway, so this shouldn't be too much of a stretch.  The American Red Cross has come up with a unique way to combine a love of Keith Urban with a need for a few platelets.

If you donate blood between Aug. 1 and Aug. 21, at a Red Cross blood center or blood drive within the Tennessee Valley Region, you may register to win a pair of concert tickets to Keith's Saturday, August 29th, concert.

Sure beats sitting on a phone incessantly dialing a radio station's number just hoping to be the 13th caller or whatever. 

There are two pairs of tickets are up for grabs.  Winners will be selected by random drawing on Aug. 24.  

If you're at least 17 years of age (16 with parental consent), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and are in good general health, you better get to donating. 

To find out more information about donating blood or where you may do so, visit bloodisneeded.org.
