Hi!

We’ve been getting loads of emails, messages and tweets from people asking us why we didn’t come to Birmingham on this UK tour we’re on, telling us how sad they are that we’ve left them out. It’s killing us! We feel terrible...

We tried to make a stop there on the tour, but things just didn’t work out this time around. So, in an effort to make it up to you, here is what we’ve done.

We spoke to the promoter for tomorrow’s show in Coventry, which is only about 30 minutes away, and we’ve managed to get our hands on a big chunk of additional tickets that we’ve decided to run this contest with.

All the messages from you guys in Birmingham is what inspired us here, but since we don’t want to play favourites or anything, we’re opening the contest up to anyone and everyone.

The way it works is simple:
  1. Enter your email address where indicated below to enter the contest.
  2. No matter what, you’ll receive an email back with a link to download a free song as a token of our thanks for entering.
  3. By entering your email address, you will automatically be entered in to a raffle for a chance to win one of the free pairs of tickets we’ve set aside for the Coventry show.
  4. The lucky ones who win the raffle will receive an additional email no later than 12 noon London time tomorrow containing instructions on how to RSVP and claim a pair of free tickets.
  5. Because not everyone invited to RSVP usually does, since we don’t want to waste any of the tickets, more people will "win" the raffle and a chance to RSVP than we actually have tickets for, so the actual number of tickets available will be distributed on a first come first served basis according to who RSVPs the fastest. In other words, keep an eye on your email account and make sure to respond quickly!!!
  6. When you RSVP, you will receive a confirmation email which will either confirm that you +1 are on the band’s guest list for the show (and provide you with all necessary details) or inform you that, sadly, you weren’t fast enough and all the spots are already spoken for.

Good luck and hope to see you there!

PS: THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY LAST MINUTE CONTEST, SO PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE IN COVENTRY OR BIRMINGHAM WHO MIGHT LIKE TO COME, LET THEM KNOW...

PPS: Don’t worry, if you are already on the band’s email list and you enter this contest, your email address will not be added twice.
