Official Contest Rules – A To Z Secret Song Contest
1. How to Enter the Contest:
a. The “A To Z Secret Song” contest will begin on Monday, February 20, 2012 at 7:00am EST and end on Friday, March 2, 2012 at approximately 6:00pm EST.
b. To participate in the contest, listen to 92.3 WTTS during the “World Class Rock A to Z” programming feature from Monday, February 20, 2012, 7:00am EST to Friday, March 2, 6:00pm EST. When a new letter begins, WTTS will announce on the air one “secret song” for that particular letter of the alphabet. All 26 “secret songs” will be listed in the VIP Room at www.wttsfm.com. When each letter’s “secret song” is played on WTTS during the contest hours, call 1-800-923-WTTS (9887). The ninth caller once the song has started will receive a pair of passes to a Sun King Studio 92 live performance with The Head and The Heart on Friday, March 9, 2012 (the “qualifying prize.”) One randomly-selected qualifying prize winner will win the grand prize: a trip for two to Los Angeles, CA to see Coldplay perform live at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, May 4, 2012. Grand prize includes two tickets to the concert, roundtrip airfare for two from Indianapolis to Los Angeles, plus accommodations for two for two nights in Los Angeles.
2. Eligibility Restrictions:
a. The contest is open to all WTTS listeners who are 21 years of age or older and who reside in the WTTS broadcast area (greater Indianapolis and Bloomington area).
Employees of WTTS, Sarkes Tarzian, Inc., Sun King Brewing, participating sponsors/promotional partners, other radio stations in the Indianapolis/Bloomington metropolitan area and the members of their immediate families are ineligible to participate or win. Immediate family members are parents, children, spouses, those in spouse-like relationship, and siblings (including those in step- and half-relationships when living in the same household). The eligibility restrictions apply to both the winner and the guest or traveling companion using the second ticket.
b. Eligible participants can win a WTTS contest only once every thirty
days and a prize valued at $600 or more only once every six months. Only one
winner per household is permitted in any contest.
c. Contest winners must hold valid driver’s license for admission to The Head and The Heart Sun King Studio 92 performance (and to claim hotel accommodations and airfare, if applicable).
3. Prizes:
a. Twenty-six winners will receive a pair of passes to The Head & The Heart Sun King Studio 92 private performance on March 9, 2012. Since Sun King Studio 92 performances are all free-of-charge to WTTS contest winners, these passes hold no monetary value. From among the twenty-six Sun King Studio 92 pass winners, one will be selected by random drawing to receive the “Grand Prize” – two nights standard overnight hotel accommodations for two in Los Angeles (on May 3 and 4, 2012) as well as roundtrip coach airfare for two, departing from Indianapolis on May 3, 2012 and returning from Los Angeles on May 5, 2012. Retail value of the Grand Prize is $1,600.

Random drawing for Grand Prize will occur at The Head and The Heart Sun King Studio 92 performance on Friday, March 9, 2012. Grand prize winner need not be present to win. If any prize or prize certificate is refused or forfeited, or if the winner selected cannot be contacted by WTTS within 48 hours, an alternate winner will be selected. WTTS is not responsible for the safe arrival of a prize or prize certificate.
c. Contest prizes are not transferable. Prizes may not be substituted for or redeemed for
cash. Prize must be used on the date(s) and time(s) specified or the prize is forfeited.
4. Selection of Winners:
a. Decisions of station management with respect to the contest are final.
b. “Qualifying prize” winners will be selected between February 20, 2012, 7am EST and March 2, 2012, 6pm EST.
c. When any A To Z Secret Song is played during the contest times, WTTS will clear the telephone line once the song has started and begin counting callers at that time. The ninth caller at the beginning of the song at 1-800-923-WTTS will win the “qualifying prize” (subject to eligibility) and will be eligible to win the Grand Prize.
d. The Grand Prize winner will be selected from among all eligible ticket winners by a random drawing to be conducted in the WTTS offices on March 9, 2012 at 12pm EST. Ticket winners do not need to be present for the drawing for the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize does not include ground transportation to or from the airport, or any expenses incurred by the winner and the winner’s guest or traveling companion beyond the hotel room occupancy charge and applicable taxes; all such other expenses are solely the responsibility of the winner and/or the winner’s guest to traveling companion.
e. If a winner cannot be contacted within 48 hours after the contest episode in which that person was selected, an alternate winner will be selected. At each contest episode, WTTS will take the name of the 10th caller, who will be eligible to be a ticket winner if the ninth caller at that episode is ineligible or otherwise forfeits the prize; alternates will be selected for each episode, and will be eligible to win in the order in which they are selected for that episode. An alternate winner may continue to be eligible to win in subsequent episodes, but if an alternate is the ninth caller in a later episode, that person will no longer be eligible as an alternate. If the Grand Prize winner is disqualified, another random drawing will be held among the other twenty-five winners and the alternate, provided there is time to make new arrangements for air travel and hotel accommodations; if new arrangements cannot be made as to either portion of the Grand Prize will not, that portion of the Grand Prize will be forfeited and no alternate will be selected.
