    The Beatles are the best band of all times! I was in high school when I first heard “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” I knew then that the group would become the most iconic of all times. Please pick me!

    I’ve been a Beatles Fan my whole life. My father was a disc jockey during Beatle Mania and they were his favorite. I inherited his collection when I was 12 yrs. old after my father died at the young age of 34 yrs. old. To this day every time I hear the Beatles, My mind goes back to when my daddy and I would listen to them. It would be a great way to reminisce about the good old days.

    I remember loving the Beatles when I first heard them back in the 60’s and my conservative neighbors complaining about their haircuts and what a bad influence they were on the kids. Ha.

  48. Judy Beck says

    I am a total Beatlmaniac. I have 14 of their original albums, the mop top beatle dolls, and various paraphernalia for the 60’s. My older brother took my sister and me to see the Beatles in Washington, DC, back in August 1965 when I was 14 years old! I have seen the Return band in SC but have not seen any of these tribute bands. Would LOVE to go! BEATLES 4 EVER!

  57. Sajdah Samuels says

    I would love to win to take my daughter. She’s a huge fan!!! This will be the 1st event here in Charlotte that she’ll enjoy.

  61. Lynne says

    I am from Liverpool and saw the Beatles perform at the Cavern in their early days. I also had an amazing experience to sing with Paul McCartney when I was 21. I would love win tickets.

  62. Ruth says

    My oldest sister blames me to this day how my parents wouldn’t let her go see the Beatles in concert back in the 60’s. It would be the next best thing to be able to take her to this.
