The Winning Ticket: Loretta Lynn

As a way to say thanks to our loyal readers, We Love DC will be giving away a pair of tickets to a 9:30 Club concert to one lucky reader each week. Check back here every Wednesday morning at 9am to find out what tickets we’re giving away and leave a comment for your chance to be the lucky winner!

“She was born a coal miner’s daughter, but she has become a Country Music legend, Ms. Loretta Lynn!” That introduction I borrowed from Johnny Cash just about says it all doesn’t it? Win these tickets and join Loretta Lynn as she celebrates her 50th year as an entertainer with a special show at 9:30 Club on Thursday, March 17th.

For your chance to win these tickets simply leave a comment on this post using a valid email address between 9am and 4pm today. One entry per email address, please. If today doesn’t turn out to be your lucky day, check back here each Wednesday for a chance to win tickets to other great concerts. Tickets for this concert are available on Ticketfly.

For the rules of this giveaway…

Comments will be closed at 4pm and a winner will be randomly selected. The winner will be notified by email. The winner must respond to our email within 24 hours or they will forfeit their tickets and we will pick another winner.

Tickets will be available to the winner at the 9:30 Club Guest List window one hour before doors open on the night of the concert. The tickets must be claimed with a valid ID. The winner must be old enough to attend the specific concert or must have a parent’s permission to enter if he/she is under 18 years old.

So glad Miss Loretta is back in town! Her last show at the 9:30 was one of the best times I’ve ever spent there.

It would be an honor to see her live. She is the Queen of Country. If I’m fortunate enough to win, the tough decision would be whether to take my Mom or Dad.

I’m in China right now but love Loretta Lynn so much that I’m commenting on this in hopes I can go when I’m back in DC!

I’m from the town in WA state where Loretta got her start singing while her husband was there working. Grew up with a mom who played her music all the time and always been a fan. Would love to see her here in DC!

If you haven’t listened to Van Lear Rose, it’s highly worth the purchase.

Hoping i win the ticket. I know couple of song from her.

I used to listen to her on my grandmas knee in the 60s.I sure would like to see her.

I was born the seventh son of a coalminers daughter…

I’m a child of the south and I always made sure to stop by Loretta Lynn’s Kitchen in Eastern TN when I was driving through that state. Fingers crossed that I win!
