A Wiggles Farewell Tour Giveaway

Did you hear the news? The Wiggles are retiring! (I know, I know, there’s a joke in here somewhere, but I have a longstanding and perhaps inexplicable affection for the Wiggles, and so I decided to play this one straight.) Well, not all of the Wiggles, but three of the four original members are handing down their colourful jerseys to a new generation of Wiggles. According to the press release for their farewell tour, stopping in Ottawa on October 16, 2012:

The Wiggles, the fast-dancing, fun-loving Fab Four from Down Under, are returning to Canada (and select U.S. cities) with their brand new show CELEBRATION, which will reunite Original Yellow Wiggle Greg Page with Anthony, Jeff, and Murray for their final tour together at the original Wiggles. After 21 years of entertaining and educating children around the globe, Red Wiggle Murray Cook, Yellow Wiggle Greg Page and Purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt have decided to hang up their trademark colored jerseys to a new generation of Wiggles starting in 2013. The Wiggles have entertained children throughout the world for over two decades and are bringing all the excitement and joy of their movies and television shows right before your eyes, live on stage! Come Celebrate with Anthony, Greg, Murray, and Jeff!

Someone asked on a Facebook group recently if it was “worth it” to splurge on a set of Wiggles tickets for her family, and I had to chime in with an enthusiastic yes. It’s been (eek!) seven years since we splurged for floor seats for our Wiggly fan Simon, and I still remember the experience as a joyfully fun family adventure.

And I’m delighted to be able to share the Wiggly experience with a lucky Ottawa family!

Would you like to win your own tickets? I have a set of four to give away for the 2:30 pm show on October 16. Please note this is a Tuesday, so please don’t enter if you aren’t sure you can attend!

  2. I would take my daughter and her little pose to this event. She has never seen a show at Scotiabank Place and would LOVE this!

  3. Hey folks, make sure you leave your contact info so I can e-mail you. I’ve got nothing for the first anonymous comment above so I’m going to have to disqualify it. Claim it if it’s yours!

  4. I’d take my three kids – although I wonder if my nine-year-old is outside the window now. Hm. Maybe it would be best to take my youngest – at five she would just love it – and two of her best buddies.

  5. I can’t believe that I only just now “liked” your Facebook page! I would love to bring Max and Amelia and my big kid. 😉

  7. Hot potato hot potato!!
    I would love my youngest monster to see these guys before they retire so I’d take him and his big brother, and I’d snicker when I tell my husband, ‘honey, guess where were going tonight…’!!!

    I had no idea about your FB page either!! But it has been liked!

  8. So cool! We have some Wiggles fans here…. I would bring my 2 girls and their dad 🙂 Thanks for hosting this contest!

  9. I’d bring my daughter, her cousin and my sister-in-law!

    Or maybe one of her little friends. Have to think about that IF I win!

    Here’s hoping…

  11. I would definitely skip out of work for the afternoon to take in a Wiggles show – I might even take the kids. 😉 Both are fans, actually, even the 10 yr old (much better than some of the pre-teen music out there!).

    And you know I’ve been a fan of your FB page (and you, girl!) for ages, so please give me a bonus entry. Do you have seats next to the ones you’re giving away? That would double the fun!

  12. I would bring my daughter and her little friend – she only recently found the Wiggles and loves to dance to them! Ditto on the posts about not knowing about your FB page!!

  17. I would take my 2 older kids and our youngest Luke…we always took the bigger kids to see the Wiggles whenever they were in town and it only would seem right that Luke get to share in this love for the Wiggles music and dancing that is often heard and witnessed in our house!

  19. I’d take my big boys, Max (5) & Leo (3) and their dad. Definitely a good reason to miss an afternoon of work and school!!!!
