using google dynamic keywords, can one prepend words for call-to-action?

I have had great success with Adwords 'dynamic' keywords capability.

e.g. {keyword: Order VIP Tickets}

however, for better "call-to-action", i would like to prepend the term "order".

e.g. Order {keyword: Order VIP Tickets}

this way, if one of my dynamic keywords is, "masters tickets" the adwords phrase would read, "Order Masters Tickets" as opposed to just "Masters Tickets"

anyone found a solution for this?

thanks.

You can use:

Order {KeyWord:Blue Widgets} Today
in the description or title line.

Dynamic insertion (within max character limits) can be used anywhere in the title or two description lines, regardless of other words appearing in those lines.

nope.

it simply won't allow me.

prepending a word before the {keyword: #*$!} turns that description line red and gogle will not let me proceed with the edit.

rats.

I just tried it and it worked fine.

When you close the }, the red should disappear. What happens is you use a nonstandard character (and go over max length), which turns the text red, usually when you close the bracker }, it turns the red off to let you save the ad.

If it's not working properly, check to see if you have scripts disabled. Google is loading a script when you create a new ad, and I've had issues with my browswer if I forget to turn scripts on before creating new ads.
