Do a Good Deed, Get Free 2008 Olympic Tickets! (For Real)

Posted on 03 August 2008 | Category: Travel Tips

John Britton wants me to tell you something.

He has 6 extra tickets to the Olympics, but rather than scalp them for outrageous prices (I’ve heard certain events are going for over $1000 a seat), he’s GIVING them away.

The Catch

You have to do something nice.  Not for John, although a big thank you would probably be appreciated.  Instead, you have to “pay it forward” doing a good deed for someone else.  Dream up your best ideas, post them as a comment on his blog and on August 6th, he will announce the winner.

Time is running out!

So go, get your tickets…
