And you Swedes

[andersm]

Not sure this is even official yet... No word on EMI's front page.

http://www.emi.se/beastieboys/

Please post in this thread if you see or hear about more competitions in Sweden. Gives the fans on this board a better chance than the rest, right?

Also, a couple of the websites in Norway and Sweden mention May 19th as the date for the concert.. So that's probably correct.

Oh, thanks a lot.

[tpk]

emi.se/beastieboys has been up for about 1½ months now

the new design got up this monday and the contest runs out on sunday.

still not sure whether it's the 18th or 19th. i hear 19th from one side and 18th from another.

peace.

[maestro]

I really hope that it will be the 19th because I would have trouble getting to Stockholm the 18th. But then again, I haven't won any tickets yet.

i really hope it's the 18th cause i have this big party thing on the 19th..which would make it hard for me.

[andersm]

Well it's not the choice that would make it hard for you...

Parties can be had all the time

I'm at my sister's now in the UK and the freakin' computer's speakers are broken! I can't hear the tracks they're playing on the Swedish competition!!! AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!
I have to try those Norwegian competitions, hope I have luck somewhere

[Tompz]

thats bad. for those poor swedes with broken speakers:

the answers:

1) intergalactic

2) spike jonze

3) rootdown

4) i run the marathon til the very last mile

I fucked up my motivation for best beastie song. I said "car thief" but the motivation was pretty poor, and you can only register once. Fuck..

i like this site

[andersm]

One more:

http://transition.rocsport.com/

It'll be over in a couple hours though. I'm not going to give you any answers because i feel you should work a little to get a chance to be there..

And one on the main beastieboys.com page too if you didn't notice..

Good luck!!!

[maestro]

Thanks Anders, you're the man. I'm in 4 different contests now, and I think I would have quite a good chance to win.

[andersm]

Well it seems they closed the transition competition early.. Could be the question was too difficult?

The info is a bit contradictive...

Oh damn, I must have been almost the last one to send in the answer.

[Uru-Nitro]

if the draw of the tickets is done the 18th and the show is the 19th... how can I organize a travell to sweden in 24 hours? you should give us more time!

[andersm]

yeah it's not easy. mostly meant for swedish fans of course... although i'm sure russians are more than welcome..

here is another one:
www.nalen.com

This is also the venue, and they have listed the date as May 19. That is probably right then..

[maestro]

Damn, that makes it 5 contests in total. What happens if I win in let's say 3 contests? Do I still only get 2 tickets or will I get tickets from all the contests (6 tickets or something)? Would be interesting to know, because then I could bring some buddies to Stockholm as well.

[andersm]

Well there was another one on digfi.com as well, but it ended before i could enter.

I don't think you're going to have a problem winning too many tickets. Right now I have a problem winning too few..

I also need to know at least the night before the show to be able to make it.

AM

[maestro]

Yeah I know, I'm not in a very good financial situaution at the moment so I guess it would be better if I didn't win because I can't really afford to spend my money on the transportation costs.

Way to go giving people the wrong answers..

Well I still feel people should look up the info themselves if they don't know their beastie trivia... I'm just trying to round up competitions people may have missed.

Hehe.. Same here. But there's nothing like spending your last money on something like this... It's not like you're going to starve.. This is for feeding your SOUL!! And what can compete with the memory of a special beastie boys concert you had to travel many hours to see..?

AM

[andersm]

Well it turns out I could have gotten a ticket to the show.. But during a power outage this morning, I missed the email message from Transition. I was too late submitting my birthdate and now I don't get to go... (I guess the bb.com competition isn't over yet..)

I talked to Emi and it seems the concert is almost overbooked so they couldn't help me out.. Now I'm waiting for Emi Norway to get back to me.. I'll keep you posted..

Right now it sucks to be me.

[andersm]

Yeah I'm in Stockholm! Just got back from London yesterday (but, alas! didn't have the fortune with me to win a ticket to the gig!) and been waiting for a mail or a call all day for being told I've won a ticket

Heard something they're in town already doing interviews, don't know if it's true tho', and don't know where they would be doing those. Maybe I should go and check certain hotels in town just in case

Anyways, I'll be hanging 'round Nalen tomorrow whatever happens. Can't afford to buy a ticket from a tout tho' (damn! London is expensive!) so I'll have to rely on my charm

[andersm]

Good luck b-grrrlie and sorry bout the missing r

By the way.. I'm looking into dressing like one of the boys in sabotage.. Can't find a good shirt with such short notice though.. we'll see if it works out..

[andersm]

Things worked out for the best so now I'm travelling with the rest of the winners from Oslo tomorrow morning...

I 24 years old and I have a feeling I won't be able to sleep tonight... And I like it.
