Fancy the chance to meet Snow Patrol?
Hot Press is giving five readers the chance to meet Gary Lightbody and the boys, VIP tickets, and transport to and from the concert.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 18 May 2006
Thanks to our friends at Universal Music Ireland, we have five pairs of VIP tickets to give away for the band's gig at Marlay Park, Dublin on Saturday, August 19.
All five winners and their guests will get the chance to get up close and personal with the boys at an exclusive Hot Press meet 'n' greet. The prize includes rail travel to Dublin (from within Ireland only).
One of the lucky five, the star winner if you will, also gets themselves and a guest a night's stay at a swanky city centre hotel.
As if that wasn't enough, we have 10 signed copies of the cracking new album 'Eyes Open' to give away to runners-up.
To find out how you could win one of these truly ace prizes, pick up a copy of the newest issue of Hot Press, which conveniently features a ringside report from their Dublin Castle gig.
Don't miss this one.
ADDED: SP fans might want to cancel any Friday night plans they have, as Snow Patrol featuring alongside Franz Ferdinand and Gnarls Barkley on Later With Jools Holland, on BBC2 from 11.35 - 00.35 on Friday May 19.

If this is indeed the case, she’s a lucky lady. If not, shame on you Mr. Lightbody!
