When the nice folks at Scotiabank Place contacted me and asked if I would like to host a Wiggle ticket giveaway, I smiled. We are old-skool Wiggles fans around here. I had no idea how much the Fab Four in multicoloured jerseys had infiltrated the blog, though, until I searched for a few favourite posts and came up with FOUR PAGES (!) of search returns mentioning the Wiggles.
A few highlights:
- Our first Wiggles concert review, where Anthony Wiggle gave the stink-eye to one of my boys.
- Since I wrote it in late 2006, this post about CBS producing Rockstar: Wiggles has consistently gotten a dozen or more monthly visits.
- Simon’s second birthday cake was a Wiggles cake, and since 2006 has been one of my most viewed pictures on Flickr.
And then there’s this classic piece of quality footage, one of my earliest YouTube uploads from April 2006 of Simon accompanying the Wiggles to “Do the Owl”:
All that to say, apparently we have a bit of a Wiggles fixation that has crossed into all my favourite social media platforms, and I’m more than happy to share the love with you in the form of a family four pack (4 tickets*) in the 100 level to see The Wiggles Wiggly Circus Live! at Scotiabank Place on October 27 at 2:30pm. You’ll also receive a copy of The Wiggles DVD “Hot Potatoes – The Best of The Wiggles”.
Want to win? Simply leave me a comment telling me why you’d like to win in the comment section below. Please make sure you can attend the concert if you enter — it’s a Wednesday afternoon.
Here’s the fine print:
- The contest runs from October 11 to 15, 2010.
- The approximate value of the prize is $140.
- A winner will be selected from all entries using Random.org around noon on October 16, 2010.
- To enter, you must leave a comment with a valid e-mail address.
- I will provide your contact information to a representative from Scotiabank Place, who will arrange the delivery of the prize package directly with you.
Thanks to Scotiabank Place and the Wiggles for a fun giveaway opportunity!
Good luck!!
(*I know, not all families consist of four people. It irks me a bit, too!)
Edited to add: Congratulations to Karen of Virtually There, the very excited winner of the Wiggly Circus tickets and DVD. 🙂

My daughter and nephew love the wiggles. It would blow there little 2 year old minds to see them live! And it would torment my brother with ear worms for days. A win-win!
We need to win! Not only is my son Max obsessed with the Wiggles but both my husband and I know every song and after watching every episode I don’t know who would be more excited at the concert – us or Max!!!
We are Wiggles fanatics in this house too. I am finally coming to terms that Sam has replaced my beloved Greg. We usually go to their concerts each year at Scotiabank Place but haven’t purchased our tickets yet for this tour. Winning tickets would be wonderful!!
in 1997 i went to australia. i brought back a vhs tape of these four guys called the wiggles, for my nieces and nephew. they watched it until it broke. now how thrilled am i that they have taken over the world and i might get the opportunity to take the jellybean.
This is a fab giveaway! My son (19 months old) is IN-LOVE with the Wiggles. He also stands in front of the TV and sings and dances along; and has since he was 5 months old. It is our Mom and Son time to dance and sing with the Wiggles and it’s one of my most cherished moments of every day.
My kids would love to see the Wiggles. My daughter loves singing and dancing to them.
Oh, me please! 🙂

Oh, please enter us, too. My kids love the Wiggles and have worn out our Wiggles Christmas CD – playing it all year round. We need something new! 🙂
Pretty Please ! Our girls love the Wiggles – you can never grow out of this Fab Four Band !
Entering on behalf of my boys who love the Wiggles!
We love the Wiggles. Max does a wonderful “wiggly” bottom dance to most every song!
My daughters would LOVE this…and so would their mother!
What a WONDERFUL contest! My boys would be over the moon if we won!
The Wiggles have been a godsend over the last few years with my four year old triplets! This outing would be a total treat for them 🙂
I would be the “best aunt ever” if I could come up with Wiggles tix!!!!!
Oh man, I would love to win these. My girls are diehard Wiggles fans and have been since the oldest was two. The unfortunate reality is that we don’t have it in the budget to see them live as a one-salary family so winning would be such a wonderful gift for the girls.
I’d love to win these to take three of my grandsons to it. I know they’d be thrilled!
My son is a huge Wiggles fan! We would LOVE to go to the concert and bring some flowers for Dorothy the Dinosaur. Would be thrilled to win!
My sweet 3 year old girl loves the Wiggles to death. We sing “Toot-Toot Chugga-Chugga Big Red Car” around the neighbourhood in her Walmart (bought) red car all the time. My sister and nieces live in Cairns, Australia and they send my 3 year old all kinds of Wiggles goodies.
Yes indeed, we’d love love love to see them live.

Would love to win! Can’t afford to spend the money on the tickets so a free show would be right up our alley! Thanks for the chance!
Shannon
We love the wiggles in our house – there songs are so catchy, even for mom and dad! Would love to see my kids faces at the concert!
What a treat to take the boys!
Hope I am not to late to enter. My 5yo still loves the Wiggles and he would be tickled to be able to go. Also since I am on mat leave the mid afternoon show is a breeze for me! 🙂
So who won?
