Aloft Facebook Contest

I haven’t seen anyone make mention of this contest yet here at Flyertalk, so I thought I would bring it to your attention before it ends on Friday.

The Aloft brand and Live In The Vineyard have teamed up to offer all-access weekend tickets for the Napa Valley shows in April. Full details can be found here at Aloft’s Facebook page.

Stayed tuned for other such events being offered by Aloft and Live In The Vineyard later this year by visiting LiveAtAloftHotels.com!

Best regards,

This has been out there for some time now...available at Aloft's Facebook page and advertised elsewhere. No one had mentioned it here, so I just wanted to make folks aware. There will be other offerings throughout the year, by the way.

Just curious why you think this might have been a waste of money?

well I for one that you for the post here because now i'm able to at least try for the last pair. I was recently laid off and hoping to start a new job next week but they keep delaying. . .with the unwanted time off at least I can sit here and refresh the screen all day and hopefully win!

I need to add an Aloft property to my starwood picture site on Shutterfly

I don't know that it's a waste of money, but it does seem odd for an aloft contest to award a prize that involves a destination that doesn't have an aloft hotel within 400 miles and the lodging for the winner is at a non-Starwood property. Not how I would promote my brand, but what do I know?

i will listen to the spot again if possible, and i may have missed part of it because it took me by surprise, but my impression was the commercial was to win free tickets and didn't really mention getting there. it kind of a far drive from beautiful st louis and besides, we have our own "napa" valley here in st charles county.

If that's true then they missed telling the best part...transportation (as outlined in the T&C's) for two is included.

It looks as if Aloft Hotels & Live in the Vineyard have 2 more pairs of tickets to this event to give away on the Aloft Hotel's Facebook page this week!

Note: This newest round of tickets still include access to intimate acoustic performances from today's hottest pop superstars and emerging artists, such as Train, VV Brown, Tonic, Diane Birch and the Backstreet Boys, and a 3-night stay at the Silverado Resort (1-bedroom suite), but will not include airfare. Fan Aloft Hotelson Facebook now at http://bit.ly/9vxB29 to score an all-access weekend pass to Live in the Vineyard!
