Last minute question: ideas for a giveaway on a message board

[csdude55]

There's a major local event going on today through Sunday, and tonight I happened upon two free tickets.

Any suggestions on how to have a give-away on my message board?

I don't want to do "first to comment", but it's too late to write a program and run a contest. I really need to meet the person to give them away tomorrow! :-O

give them away to the first person to donate to a local charity.

Have a meet at a local park where they "find you" (wear something kind of distinctive, such as a t-shirt with your domain name on it). Even better, have a local news crew film the encounter to air at x:pm in the "fun" segments.

Both great ideas!

If I had a T-shirt with my domain name on it then that would be perfect, it accomplishes the goal AND gives the ticket away without a second meeting. I think I'll get up early and see if any local printer can whip up something fast, and I can have my girlfriend record it to publish on TikTok.

A long time ago I had a plan to do regular giveaways with contests, but then... ya know, COVID. This wouldn't be a bad segue into revisiting that.
