How much do you know about Tom Jones?
If your knowledge of the Welsh singer’s oeuvre happens to be unusually (sorry) extensive, then you could be in with a shot at winning free tickets to the icon’s upcoming gig in Abu Dhabi.
A Jones-themed quiz is just one of three ways to bag free tickets for the April 15 concert.
In a nifty piece of marketing inspiration, the café and delicatessen chain Jones the Grocer has tied up with its namesake to host two “Keeping up with the Jones’s” themed quiz nights, which will see competing teams grilled on their knowledge of the singer for the chance to win four pairs of tickets.
The contests will take place at the Khalidiya branch on March 11 and the Al Muneera outlet on March 17. It’s a serious business: Questions will be prepared by a third party expert, while the kitchen will serve up a special “special Tom Jones inspired burger” topped with Welsh Rarebit, cheddar and parmesan cheeses, spicy mustard and seasoning.
Social media users meanwhile will have the chance to win not just tickets, but a meeting with Jones himself, plus an overnight stay in Abu Dhabi courtesy of Nirvana Travel.
The Social Superfan competition will see users respond to posts and guess classic songs, running for a week from March 20 – see promoter’s Flash Entertainment’s Facebook page to compete. Winners will be chosen on March 30.
Lastly, a lucky dip will offer customers to any of Jones the Grocer’s eight UAE outlets, the chance to win one of three pairs of tickets, simply by filling out a customer contact card.
At least with the quiz you have to work for it. Winners will be announced on April 10.
If you're not feeling lucky and want to buy tickets, from Dh350, for the Du Forum show, head to www.ticketmaster.ae or all Virgin Megastores across the UAE.
