Traveling Tailgate Party Contests

CheapTickets is Looking for the First-Ever 'Tailgate Tourist'

— August 18, 2019 — Lifestyle
CheapTickets thinks that no one should miss out on the fun of a football tailgate party, which is why the brand is looking for the first-ever 'Tailgate Tourist.'

The Tailgate Tourist promotion is a contest that awards one lucky fan with a chance to travel to five NCAA games and take part in some of the best college tailgate parties across the country. According to CheapTickets' Senior Brand Manager Justine McDonald, "Tailgating culture is steeped in team pride and tradition, and there's no better way to experience it than traveling to some of the best college campuses and stadiums across the nation." Best of all, the lucky winner will also get to bring a friend along for the ride.

To enter the contest, participants simply have to answer two questions about the college town they want to visit and their favorite tailgate dish.
