So … I know that I just hosted a Britney Spears-themed contest here on Pink is the new Blog but a new opportunity has come up to host another contest that I just couldn’t pass up. On Tuesday December 2, Britney Spears announced that she is hittin’ the road next Spring on a new tour called The Circus starring Britney Spears and that very same day tickets for some shows went on presale. Later in the week, those concert dates went on sale to the general public and sold out so quickly that new concert dates had to be added to keep up with the demand. Among the new cities added to the tour is Oakland, CA which goes on sale tomorrow via Ticketmaster but only for those folks who use the password: funambulist. You can click HERE to buy tickets for that show … or, if you’re feelin’ lucky, you can enter for a chance to win tickets to see Britney Spears for free right here on Pink is the new Blog:

Britney Spears is taking center ring for one of the most highly anticipated and in-demand tours of 2009, as six shows have been immediately added to her “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” 2009 North American Tour. In the days following her tour announcement on Good Morning America – on December 2, 2008, the singer’s 27th birthday – Britney’s fans have purchased more than 400,000 concert tickets in North America alone. In order to meet the overwhelming rush for tickets, tour promoter AEG Live immediately added six shows in Los Angeles, Toronto, New Jersey, Chicago, Long Island, NY and Anaheim, CA, expanding Spears’ tour to now include 41 concerts. Across the pond, Spears’ Circus-mania has also reached a feverish pitch, as six additional dates were just added at London’s O2 Arena, with more than 100,000 tickets sold for eight total shows over the 1st weekend of sales. “The Circus Starring Britney Spears,” her first arena tour in five years, features special guests The Pussycat Dolls. “The company that was the foundation for AEG Live was jump-started by Britney Spears’ 2001-02 ‘The Dream Within A Dream’ sold-out arena tour, so it is with poignant satisfaction that we are Brit’s promoter again,” said Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG Live. “We’re honored to have been entrusted with the live career of one of contemporary music’s greatest performers. ‘The Circus Starring Britney Spears’ is on target to be one of 2009′s great success stories, based on early box office reaction, and it’s a wildly imaginative production.” “Britney and I are both thrilled to see how excited her fans are for the Circus tour,” said Larry Rudolph, Britney Spears’ manager. “This show will blow people’s minds, and promises to show Britney’s fans something they will never forget!”

So here’s the deal … 1 lucky Pink reader will win a pair of tickets for the Anaheim, CA show at the Honda Center on April 20, 2009 and another lucky Pink reader will win a pair of tickets for the Oakland, CA show at the ORACLE Arena on April 22, 2009. If YOU are interested in entering for a pair of tickets for either of these two shows all you have to do is send me a picture of a handmade sign that YOU CREATE that reads Pink is the new ____________. Signs that are Britney Spears-themed will most likely get my attention (hint: do try to incorporate Britney in some way and do try to make the signs as elaborately cool as possible). You have to be able to get yourself to the venues either in Anaheim or Oakland, CA but the tickets will be waiting for you at the box office. Email photos of you and your amazing signs to pinkisthenewblog@gmail.com with the subject line: Britney Concert Tickets Contest and make sure you let me know which show you’d like to attend. Remember, you can still buy tickets for these or any of the shows on her tour at BritneySpears.com/tour but I think this is a fun way to get to see The Circus starring Britney Spears for free!!! Get to work on those signs, y’all … you have until Friday December 19 to submit your entries!!!
