WSCR-AM Brings Back $20,000 'Golden Ticket' Contest

After successfully holding a similar two-month promotion last summer, WSCR-AM/670 The Score is bringing back the contest where one lucky person will be presented with a "Golden Ticket," which will give them a $20,000 gift card to purchase tickets to just about any sporting or live event in the country. "The 2015 Score's Golden Ticket Giveaway" is a promotion between CBS Radio, Vivid Seats, and Laredo Hospitality -- parent company of Chicagoland Shelby's and Stella's Place slot machine cafes.

The contest, which begins today, will include on-air, on-site, cellular, and digital contesting opportunities for fans to enter, culminating in the grand finale event, taking place on August 29th. That event will be broadcast live on WSCR-AM.

In the 1964 book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," as well as the 1971 film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and the 2005 film named after the book, the story begins with the local chocolate company hiding a special golden ticket inside some of its candy bars, which would allow the finder to get to tour the magical candy factory. Something similar will be done at the Score's contest grand finale.

The 60 semi-finalists at the August 29th event (ten more than the 2014 contest) will each be handed a chocolate bar at random. One of those bars will have a golden ticket inside of its wrapper. The person holding that ticket then wins the special VividSeat.com gift card, allowing that person to purchase up to $20,000 in sports or entertainment tickets from the ticket broker.

There will be a few different ways to qualify to be one of the 60 contestants at the finale event.

More than half of the contestants will come by visiting the participating Shelby's and Stella's Place locations, finding the keyword of the day, and sending that keyword in to WSCR-AM via text (to shortcode 67011) or online. This will happen daily through August 9th.
