This screen shot comes from the Ticketmaster website. It's official. Guy Fieri's scheduled show in Charlotte on May 18 is no longer happening.
The canceled show is a big disappointment as I know many of you had wanted to go and registered to win the pair of tickets I was giving away on the blog.
I know you are all bummed. But, I have good news! In lieu of the Guy Fieri show tickets, I will be giving away one pair of tickets to Steve Martin AND one pair of tickets to the Mother Earth Brewing Beer and Food Pairing Dinner at Blue restaurant, presented by Charlotte Good Eats and Meets!
Winners for both events will be picked this afternoon from the readers who commented on this original post: http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/eatmycharlotte/2011/05/02/win-tickets-to-see-guy-fieri-may-18/
Stay tuned to see who will win ...
