If you’re being totally honest with yourself, you know that some Super Bowl halftime shows fall more into the range of “meh.” That’s definitely not the case this year, because it’s featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Still, it’s not like you can magically score tickets to the halftime show…or can you?
Pepsi is hosting a halftime show sweepstakes to give 17 lucky winners the chance to attend the Pepsi Super Bowl Half Time Show on Sunday, February 2. (Just a heads up, per the official rules: This does not include tickets to the actual game.)
It’s actually incredibly easy to enter. Just follow Pepsi on Twitter and tweet @Pepsi with the hashtag #PepsiHalftimeSweeps…and you’re in. Don’t try to unfollow Pepsi afterward and hope you’ll still get picked—the official rules say you need to still be following the brand on Twitter when the winner is chosen.
Again, there are 17 grand prizes at stake and you’re not ~just~ getting to see the game. If you win, you’ll get a trip for two to Miami to attend the halftime show and Pepsi will cover your round-trip coach class air transportation from an airport near you. You can make a little vacation out of it—you’ll leave on January 30 and will get home on February 4. Pepsi will also cover a standard hotel room for three nights, round trip ground transportation to and from Miami airport, your hotel, and the halftime show. And, of course, tickets to the show itself.
Oh! It gets even better! You’ll also get $400 in spending money. Pepsi makes it clear that watching the game won’t be on the itinerary, with this nugget in the rules: “No ability to attend or watch the game will be provided.”
So…if catching the actual Super Bowl is big on your list, this isn’t the contest for you. But, if you’re really just in it for the halftime show, well, you know what to do.
