I work nights and only get every other weekend off... and I actually have Oct 2-4 off!!! Besides, if I don't win, I'll make my patented sad puppy face, and no one wants to see that!

I've been hearing Phoenix's "1901" play in the back drop of tons of t.v. this week...from Courtney Cox's reflection in the mirror on "Cougar Town" as she pinches her skin in various places to a car commercial. I'd love to actually SEE this awesome band live on stage! Plus its my 22nd birthday on the 5th and as a starving college student at UT I couldn't afford tickets and as a starving post graduate...I still can't afford tickets.

Oh lifeee...how thee are made much easier with the sound of music!

i know this comment may not be as "witty" as the rest... but its true and i think its a legitimate reason to want to enter this contest. In fact, i believe it's a way better reason than some of the posts i have seen. i buy ACL tickets every year cause it is hands-down my favorite austin event, however about two months ago i was involved in a terrible wreck and had to use crutches and a neck brace up until very recently and for this reason i wasn't able to work at my job as a waitress and don't have the money for the tickets. i thought a music festival would be a great way to celebrate my freedom from the neck brace, and on top of that my nineteenth birthday is this weekend. hope you pick me!

I've never won anything in my life and I'm traveling from Michigan hopeing that I find some tickets before or while I am in Austin. Dave Matthews has been my favorite band for as long as I can remember...so much so that I got a tattoo of a firedancer. Please please please pick me :-)!!!!

I think i should be it becuase i havent seen a rock concert ever and i want to..in fact if i can go i prolly bring dad or girlfriend

I've been wanting to do something special for my girlfriend for a long time. She's in grad school and lives the typical "poor student" lifestyle always wanting but never getting. She deserves something special and wants to go to this festival! I'd like to make that magic happen.

Because my comment is wittier than yours!! :P Ok not really. haha Seriously though my friend just moved down here from boring ol' KC and would love to take her to ACL. She missed SXSW by like 2 days!! And since I am missing Voodoo this year I need to get my festival fix somehow!!

I need to hear the harmonious lyrics of Dave to ease this broken heart.

Looking forward to the "ride"!!!!! Gonna be a great time!!!!!

If I win it will be my turn to let my boyfriend drink "A Lot" and I will take care of him...he always lets me drink too much wine and keeps me safe ;) We both went through a lay off and need muchos grande free kuddos!!

Unlike any other concert, ACL has a way of not selling hard tickets in the old brick and mordor fashion. As a result, people are rewarded with the opportunity for tickets by the luck of being near their e-mail and a computer. As a result, the locals very often get left in the dark with no tickets, asked to volunteer and left with the cleanup. We love the guests, but we'd like to party too. So imagine my excitement when I had the chance to buy tickets today. At 10 am, my HEB location( an Austin grocery store) would actually be selling tickets for $135! I got up at 4 am and after running errands to make sure I had cash and my student ID in hand, I got there at 5 am for a 10 am sale and stood in the first 1/4 of the line. C3 never handed out vouchers or numbers or wristbands to serve as placeholders in line and curb line jumpers, and with no semblance of order, I still went home without a way of getting in. Fraternities let all of their brothers in with them in line and forced them to buy tickets for their superior brothers. Girls who complained about line jumpers, jumped and got the 3rd to the last tickets in So I braved the crowds and left with no tickets. For the thousands of people who got tickets online and in every other way, I did something they never dreamed of. I stood forever in a long line with no order.

I STOOD IN LINE AT H.E.B FOR OVER 3 1/2 HOURS WAITING TO BUY ACL TICKETS FROM C3 AND THEY RAN OUT...!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THESE TICKETS...!!!!!

I’m not going to beg, patronize, or engage in gimmicks to get these tickets. Let me just show you my dedication to Blastro Networks via several examples:

1) I can tell you that during his Lollapalooza interview with Roxwel, Boys Noize rocked a T-shirt from Ice-T’s 1988 album “Power” – the very same title Boys Noize has chosen for his upcoming album. He also had a uni-brow under those glasses – ol’ creepy ass German.

2) Esser isn’t opposed to picking up stamp collecting just so he can have something else to do besides making music 24/7.

3) Dan Deacon doesn’t want to do acid with complete strangers that met him on the Internet; that’s not really his ideal setting for a psychedelic experience.

4) Kristi Lee has a Dirrty Mouth.

5) Electricity will be untamed by Audi on 09.15.09.

6) “New Divide” by Linkin Park is currently the most watched video on Roxwel, up four spots from No. 5 last week.

7) Finally, I even know that Albert Hammond, Jr.’s “GfC” is on Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas’ playlist.

It’s all about the details, my friend. I care about the music. I care about the artists. I care about the media that give me access. Rest assured your ACL tickets would be in good hands. No doubt.

music rocks

What an awesome prize!

So, I just had an awful dream. You know, the kind of dream where you are presenting in front of a huge crowd and look down to find you are wearing only your underwear. But instead of presenting in front of a huge crowd, I had made the trip to the ACL Fest and was standing in front of Zilker about to walk in the entrance only to realize I couldn't find my tickets. Then I realized I did not have tickets. Please don't make this nightmare a reality. Who cares if I am only in my underwear, as long as I have tickets in hand in order to enter the golden gates of ACL!!!

what a great birthday present!

i'd like tickets because i was lazy and didnt buy them when they came out

becuz i have never gone anywhere to see a band perform :(

AAAAAAH I NEED THESE TICKETS!! Me and a friend were planning on this EPIC road trip from NYC to Austin..... but due to financial issues we kept on putting off buying tickets :( now they are sold out!! We are both from South Africa I live in Vancouver Canada now and he lives in NYC.... this would have been our first big festival... I LOVE THE DEAD WEATHER! I simply just have to have those tickets! If we win we will film our journey from NYC to Austin and it shall be LEGENDARY! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

if i win... i will defy the laws of gravity each day i'm there..starting with the take off point, land ..sea...air...or dog... i will...make ...roxwel p-r-o-u-d :)

Y'ALL, I am WIRED to have a BLAST ROllin' out to Austin to ROCK WELL into all 3 nights at this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival with some of the most ridiculous music artists of my time!!! I'd love to win these tickets & experience an awesome lineup at this festival in The Live Music Capital of the World (as they call it)!!

austin needs me. austin city limits needs me. give me the opportunity, and the rest is history. i will write the story in the stars. i will let the magic flow out from my chakras and help each performer by inserting the majestic life force into each rumpus, giving the crowd open minds and blessed ears of wonder. all i need is the tiniest hole of opportunity and i will seize acl by the balls and remind austin that they've got a pair.
But really, help me get away from my mother-in-law, talk about shoving things in my rear, this woman is a gorilla on my back, and she ain't no kitty monkey if you know what i'm sayin'. it has been well over a year since I laid foot on austin soil. i need an escape from the bible belt, perhaps i will bring rain with me, which could be a bad thing...or a good thing. just to be fair, you take a risk on rain if i win.

The name says it all. I love the PJ! I am a huge fan of live music in general, but to see the kings of live shows in Austin would completely top this year off. The last year has been a little tough, my three very best friends all got married, ($450 in tuxes.. i own no collard shirts) my ex fiancé had child and i still work in a great industry that only rewards me in quality of life yet no funds, therefore I am applying for the awesome task of truly valuing the gift you are willing to give. As a die hard music fan who unfortunately can not monetarily afford the tickets or hotel fare, I assure you that if there is one guy who will be bellowing "don’t call me daughter" at the top of his lungs.. that is this gal. One of my fav artist showcasing their talent in the live music capitol of the world will be Bon Iver.. i cherish that guy.. oooo wee not to mention good ole Ben friggin Harper.. sheesh .. I have a date who I could possibly convert to PJism if i could just get her to this glorious occasion. plus she is trying to become a dentist (which help me cause i have the bad teeth) and also as a student has no where near the funds to entertain the idea attending the last really made for me show of this third decade of my life. Lastly I would like to thank whichever genius decided to put this sweet steak (a.k.a. sweepstake) in front of my face.. I gobbled it up..

Thanks a 1,000,000 tacos

This years line up is pretty unbelievable; I can't even articulate how amazing it would be to see KOL & PJ in the same show. Went to see PJ back in '06 when KOL opened on a decent amount of tour dates, but My Morning Jacket opened at the venue I was at. These bands though, (KOL & PJ), there just it for me... absolutley, postively have I no stronger, more intense passion and love for any other bands! I could write a laundry list pages & pages about the songs, the lyrics, the individual band members qualities... tons, but no one prob wants to read that. Instead, to whom it may concern: please, please, please choose me to win the contest... I have no other way to obtain tickets as it's completley out of my realm of affordability at this time. I have never had the opportunity to experience a festival of this size and this line up would be the absolute ultimate f'ing concert experience to me! God, it would mean so much!!

Is it true that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are the band replacing Beastie in the Friday lineup at ACL?

i would LOVE to go to ACL! I really can't afford tickets and am trying any possible way to get tickets! It would mean so much to win!

I am sooo excited about all the acts that are going to be here in Austin for the ACL festival my 30th birthday will be on 10-15-09 and this would be an awesome early birthday present. I am a true austinite who has never really experienced the whole ACL phenomenon and I would love to experience that for once in my life.

My vote for Austin City Limits tickets goes to Rebekah. If her 30th birthday is not reason enough then consider that this year marks her 18th year as committed Pearl Jam fan. Committed being an understatement (she had her high school senior picture taken with a huge Vs. poster as the background. Pick her and I will send the evidence!) Pearl Jam is the icing on the cake of the laundry list of bands she is eager to see at this year’s event. She would be a grateful winner.
Sincerely,
Becky’s Mom

I moved to Austin because i had so much fun at ACL last year. I can't even get tickets this year. FML

ACL is the Apex of Life.

Ok, so heres the scoop. I moved down to Texas (Houston) about 4 years ago, im 17 now about to turn 18 and I used to live in Chicago but i was always to young according to my parents to go to lollapalooza and ever since i have lived down here people have constantly made fun of me because I lived in Chicago for 14 years and didn't go to lollapalooza once and that I have lived in Texas for 4 years and haven't seen Austin City Limits, and I figured now would be a great time to go, considering, Kings of Leon are my all time favorite band. Dave Matthews is in my top 10 and, well Pearl Jam is... Pearl Jam I don't think I really need to explain myself on why I would want to see Pearl Jam. And the Beastie Boys are one of the shows that I have always wanted to see and now that they are getting old I don't know how much longer they will being tours. It would be greatly appreciated if you sent me to Austin City Limits.

:D

I have watched Austin City Limits it seems like forever. My niece Rachael who used to live in Austin but lives in Florida begged me to go with her last year. Unfortunately Hurricane Ike came through my area & I ended up working 12 - 18 hours a day 6 days a week for well over 3 months. So I missed out last year. Hopefully, no hurricanes this year!!!

We really want to go the ACL because we are huge Six Million Dollar Man fans...he is strong, hunky and rich....I mean Six million dollars doesn't go as far as it used too, but it IS still SIX Million Dollars, so any music festival named after our greatest National Superhero Steve Austin is good enough for us.

I've lived in Austin for almost two years now, and have yet to actually see the festival. I always feel so left out.

This is going to be a great contest. Can't wait to see all these great bands.

How can I make you understand
How much I want those tickets
This time my fate is in your hands
Don’t leave me in the thickets

I offer this sonic as a basic ploy
And I promise you it’s not a scam
My “body moves” to Beastie Boys
Plus I’ve always wanted to see Pearl Jam

Good music makes my mind feel clear
And John Legend makes me feel so smooth
When Dave Matthews Band hits my ears
I just sit back and rock the groove

It’s time to wrap up but hopefully now you see
How much winning Austin City Limits tickets means to me

So I have come to the realization that my turning 30 at Austin City Limits may not be compelling enough to score passes so I thought I should try a new angle… I get giddy like a school girl with a new crush every time I talk about ACL and have created a game to get everyone I come in contact with as amped as I am: I have a hypothetical party bus headed to the ACL Fest and in order to get on my bus a person must display an extraordinary talent. So far my bus has a bilingual ambidextrous writer, a fire juggler, a dyslexic sign language expert and a 5’4” Midwestern princess with “rapping” skills comparable to Biggie. I need more talent for the bus and would love enlightenment from other Roxwel fans…

Let me count the ways reasons.....I've never been to Austin before and I heard it's the greatest place on earth, some of the best bands ever are going to be there, and most importantly, my bff's(Rebekah)30th birthday happens to be on Oct. 1st so what could possibly be a better present or a better way to welcome the 30's?!?!? Please help the birthday girl out!

I saved up my hookin' cash for months and bought 3day passes, but my pimp stole them when I was on a "job"!!! Now I cry myself to sleep every night- I just wanted to go so badly!!

I'm broke cuz all my dang money has gone to my ex-wife for alimony to support "our" four children. I know better - Ain't none of those kids mine, but the woman's got me by the gonads. I would do anything to get some tickets to ACL so that I can take my new lady out for a fancy weekend. Help a poor chump out please!

You have NO idea how excited I am for this event. I am not sure I could have even dreamed of a lineup like this and the fact that it falls on my 30th BIRTHDAY is fate! What better way to kick off a new decade in my life?!?! The best music in the most amazing city in the U.S., bliss! Tickets would be a dream come true.

Please, pick me, I'm unemployed and my husband is only partially employed and we have no benefits and can't afford to buy tickets. MUST see DMB!

I would like to go cause I am a stay at home mom and like the music and could really use a break away from it all with entertainment to boot!

This lineup makes me quiver like a school boy...one can only dream.

PICK ME PICK ME!!

pick me....'cause "i'm on a boat".

jelllewww... hello you people. I am SURELY the one that will be going. I COULD be cuter that Toddy whomever - you don't know, and I'm CERTAIN I have LIVED FOR THE MUSIC LONGER!

Dude. I want to go. Jesse, Ill split the tickets with you.

I LIVE FOR THE MUSIC!!!!

I've been every year since 02 & loved it every since. I'm a native Austinite & love every single thing about this city. After going to school in 3 different cities I will NEVER live anywhere else. ACL has changed my life...the show and the festival.

I should win ACL tickets because I think you are much cuter and way better than Toddy B! Hahaha! Also because I am a native Austinite and since I put up with boat-loads of fans every year I should be one this year!

I have to go to Acl they year. Don't let me down.
