I have followed Kanye’s career his entire life, growing up in Chicago I have witnessed him rapping local shows with Rhymefest and Common. The one thing I have never witnessed is him live in a large venue, I couldnt ask for more than to see Kanye perform with one of the greatest of all time.
Living in Baltimore City, MD we aren’t given much opportunity or “good luck.” For me and my brother to see Jay-Z & Kanye LIVE, would be the greatest thing that ever happened to us.
I’m thirty-five with two kids I never win anything, I’m always runner-up, almost made it.. I feel like for my 36 B.day this would b perfect. I cant see myself going to another hip-hop concert after this, I don’t wanna attend a concert my 16 year wants to go to also. This would take me out with a bang. I’ve followed these guys along there career and I have much respect for them. And would love to see the perform live and in color. Thanks!!

Winning WTT tickets would be the most amazing experience since both of these men are my idols, and I would do anything to see them live together. Their stage presence together would be AMAZING.
Toronto, ON. Wednesday at the ACC
“Everything I’m Not, Made Me Everything I Am.” This is the quote I live each day by. Kanye West has always impacted my life. It has always been a dream of mine to see Kanye in concert, and now that he is coming to LA, I would be truly disappointed that I didn’t strive to do everything possible to get these tickets. I ask you kindly to please make this come true. Contact me please at [email protected]
