This contaest absolutely sucks........ "only open to legal residents of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Texas". So, a diehard Michigan fan that grew up in Michigan but now lives in Colorado has no chance of winning these tickets????? But some one from OHIO can????

FWIW, I saw an email from LivingSocial.com that they have a deal for $89: Endzone Platform Standing Room Game Ticket LivingSocial customers pay $89 for a Cowboys Classic Spirit Pass, which includes a standing room-only ticket to the game, along with a voucher good for one hot dog, one bag of chips, and a soda or water. They've already sold over 1,900. Of course, you still have to get there.

I purchased 3 tickets using the LivingSocial promotion for my son and his friends. They were excited just to get the chance to be there in person. They're young and ambitious and will be driving to Texas. Where there's a will, there's a way!!

I saw that earlier this week too DNB, has anyone been to Cowboy's Stadium? I took took in a few games via the SRO sections at Ford Field last year and there seemed to be few places which offered decent viewpoints. Then again, regardless of where you sit in that stadium it must be hard to miss that scoreboard.

Word. Apparently we now have a pyle of Kyles. I vote for GnuKyle to get Twitteratti duty during the games and VintageKyle joining the esteemed Mr. Rezler on the live chat this season. Hail! (to the Kyles)

BorninA2, you can never have too many Kyles. Right?

Airfare+hotel at this point is a lot less than hotel+airfare+TICKETS. Did you look at the ticket prices for this game? And they were impossible to get. My buddy has had season tix for 30 years and they didn't get 'down' to his level. Thanks, Kyle!!

Hi Ross- We realize the game is coming soon, but since we had the opportunity to obtain these tickets we thought it'd be great to pass them along to one lucky reader so they could have the opportunity to see one of the biggest games of the year.

Getting tickets to the big show is the half way there deal. Hope you have friends or relatives in the Geater DFW area.

And if your not on Facebook? I guess they only reasonable explanation is one is simply unworthy in the eyes of AnnArbor.com.

I agree with JGS as I would, I could but I won't have a FB profile. I also won't do twitter. Yes, I like to comment regularly here on A2.com so as to show my support and am a proud citiizen of Ann Arbor as well as a U-M student athlete alum. I try to keep it bland (LOL) On message: am surprise there are all these tickets still available, a good thing, I suppose.

Hi kmgeb- We run giveaways through a number of methods, this one just happens to be through Facebook only. There will be plenty of future of contests to enter where you can participate in a number of ways so be sure to keep an eye out.

Get used to it kmgeb2000 - this is the new "trendy" thing to do. They take what they believe is the majority and the rest can go to... well...you know. All on facebook - enjoy your every move tracked and saved. Also enjoy the potential identity theft attempts daily. People who don't get any attention have to turn to FB in order to feel worth.
