How do you win radio contests?

I've been trying to win concert tickets for the last past couple of days, but haven't had any luck. I have the radio station on speed dial on several different phone lines, but other than that are there any tricks on getting though to the station, timing your call correctly, etc? Thanks in advance!

  • It's just that at the same time you are trying to get thrum so are thousands of other people. There's not a way to "time" a call. You just have to keep trying.

    However, landlines connect quicker than cell phones. But just like you, I use several phones at once.

    I won tickets to see 2 concerts this summer ( Jay-Z & Mary J. were amazing!). The best advice I can give you is -- do you know any receptionists!! I am a receptionist at a large law firm. I use a console (phone) that has about 30 lines & I find that the service for this type of phone is awesome. When a contest says you have to be caller 100, I usually get thru 7-10 times. Which as you know is a lot, b/c usually all we get is a busy signal. So, make friends with a receptionist & good luck!

  • Just gotta get lucky and keep trying! I have won a few times...

    I've been trying to win concerts tickets the past couple days too!

    Puddle of Mudd tickets! but no luck so far

  • I've won two prizes from the same radio station. One was in 2002, at about 10pm, and the other was 2003, at 4am! The first was when they had Robert Palmer in for interview, and I won a signed copy of his "At His Very Best" album, by answering either who he dueted a song with, or what the title of the song was. The second was a pair of tickets to see Fleetwood Mac live in London, and all I had to do was be the first person to phone in when he played 'Rhiannon'. As it turned out, the DJ and I then spent the next hour talking about music!

  • If you are listening to the radio via internet remember you will be on a few seconds delay. This would make it very difficult to be a right numbered caller. But if you are listening to the radio just keep trying!!

  • You're doing all you can do. The only tip I can offer you is to not call until after the announcement to call now is over. They clear the lines before they start taking contest calls, so if you call before the DJ is done talking, you're only slowing yourself down.

  • its COMPLETE luck. just have the number already ready to call, and then just call in.

    i was on my way to school, and a radio station asked "what place did chris daughtrey win on american idol?" and i called in and said fourth, AND I WON TICKETS TO AN ELMO SHOW. xD

    good luck!

  • Pure luck!
