When asked if I would be interested in running a competition on Delirious.org.uk to give away tickets for the World Service UK Tour, it didn't take long to make my mind up! Those nice d:boys have given me 6 passes to the UK Tour to give away. Three people will each win a pair of tickets to the concert of their choice. Better still, Delirious? have also promised that the winners will get to 'meet and greet' the band! How about that for a competition!

In true Delirious? fashion, the competition is all about anagrams. So, if you want a chance to win those tickets, check out the Competition Page and see if you can solve the 5 song title anagrams (they're quite easy!). The closing date is 1st October (9am BST) in order to select 3 winners before the tour begins on 5th October.

From the point of view of Furious?, the idea behind giving me some passes to offer as competition prizes is to try and drum up more interest in the tour. Every band wants to play to a packed crowd, and half-empty (or should that be half-full?) venues don't make for a great atmosphere at a gig.

Mind you, judging by the way ticket sales are going at the moment, the tour looks set to be a complete sell-out. One of the two Dunfermline concerts has already sold-out and I'm told that Maidstone and London are not far behind.

Spin and publicity aside, this really is going to be a superb tour. I can't remember the last time there was so much excitement about a tour, both from fans and the band. Top venues, great support bands, best-ever songs, new and exciting visuals and videos, and most important of all, an incredible band performing better than they ever have before. If that doesn't get you excited, nothing will.
