GAME
is offering its music-loving customers the chance to win tickets
to the UK's premier rock festival, Download. The festival takes
place in Donington Park between 12-14th June and GAME has three
sets of exclusive VIP all-weekend camping tickets up for grabs.
The
three lucky Download Festival winners will get to see some of
the biggest rock and metal bands performing live, including Slipknot,
Korn, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Marilyn Manson and Faith No More.
Those attending the festival can also experience what it feels
like to be a real rock star with the opportunity to play Guitar
Hero Metallica on stage in front of a crowd of up to a thousand
people. Other events planned for the Download Festival include
laser quest, drumming workshops, human table-football and much
more.
With
camping tickets for Download Festival 2009 now officially sold
out and all other tickets selling out fast, the three pairs of
tickets offered by GAME could be one of the last opportunities
rock fans have to attend the festival.
To
be in with a chance of winning a full weekend at this summer's
Download Festival, all music fans have to do is go to the GAME
website and answer one simple Slipknot-related
question. The competition ends on 29th May 2009 and full details
of the festival can be found on the official Download Festival
website.
According
to the IFPI, the download music industry was worth an estimated
3.7 billion US dollars in 2008, accounting for around 20% of all
recorded music sales. With game downloads also increasing in popularity,
GAME is more committed than ever to growing its online digital
strategy and now stocks a range of iPods, including the iPod Touch.
Part games console, part PDA and part web browser, the iPod Touch
is a must for tech lovers who want to get much more out of a music
player than just great sounds. For more information visit the
iPod
Buyers Guide on the GAME website.
