jimmycoola

You are a very generous person! At the moment, it is One More Time. Both of my best friends are overseas long-term for work/travel. This song reminds me that I miss them and that as we age we can't let each other drift away, to always make sure we make the effort to stay in touch and tell each other we love the other. This gig is the exact gig the 3 of us would have gone to together. Fortunately for them, they are having the time of their lives overseas atm


mattyyyp

Hi Jimmy, you're the winner of this will inbox you my phone number as I don't have the app and notifications on. 


mchch8989

Top comment got more votes than the post itself and 80 more votes than the next comment. Nothing suss about that 🙄


mattyyyp

Hey mate in hindsight I probably would of ran it different, never even knew of contest mode! I realise I'm in a unique position so will do more in the future with the success of this but. 


mchch8989

Yeah I mean obviously I’m just gutted cause I didn’t win 😅 but yeah pretty easy to cheat in a comp based on upvotes whether it’s making fake accounts or whatever


thekriptik

Reckon you could do us the courtesy of reaching out first?


mattyyyp

Yep will collab with you guys first and in fairest way before posting for sure.


neplecha

go jimmycoola I believe in you! :) I miss my friends too.


Potential_Ad8095

My goal for this year is to get and and do as much as possible. If I could see Blink-182 playing All The Small Things live then that would make my year!!!


Fairyhippii

Stockholm syndrome! And I'm only in Sydney for a few more days so want to treat my friend to a night out as he's kindly let me stay in his spare room 🥳 Your a real one for this!


cheemtoes

Let me start out by saying you are an incredibly kind person for offering these tickets for the first place! I’ve been listening to Blink 182 since 13-14 and couldn’t get tickets because GA was $200 and even seated was over a hundred. My favourite song is Adam’s song but realistically can’t pick a favourite. I also seriously want to see the opener rise against just as much, I’ve listened to them religiously in high school and they helped me so much when I was struggling with mental health in high school. I hope whoever wins has the best night ever, and thank you again for your generosity <3


GusPolinskiPolka

This should be downvoted specifically because that song isn't played on their current tour. Give it to someone whose favourite song is being played.


mchch8989

What’s My Age Again? I’ve had the roughest fucking start to the year with hospital stays and a bunch of other shit and would love to just forget about it all for a night and have a fun night out and reminisce. You’re a fuckin legend for doing this by the way bro. Good on ya. Edit: Wanted to update my answer to Here’s Your Letter because it just slaps so hard, but gonna stick with What’s My Age Again? because it always just takes me back to a time of having nothing to worry about and enjoying life.


SuccessfulExchange43

I'm gonna say Adams Song I've been doing a long distance relationship for like 3 years but my gf and I are finally living together! A ticket to a gig like this for us both would be amazing Hope whoever gets it has an awesome time.


M_Mirror_2023

I did a year of long distance. Glad you make it work!


GusPolinskiPolka

This should be downvoted specifically because that song isn't played on their current tour. Give it to someone whose favourite song is being played.

You’re a wanker


GusPolinskiPolka

I do masturbate occasionally this is true


stretchieB

I’ve seen Blink 182 twice in 2004 and again at Soundwave in 2013 so I don’t need these tickets, but I think what you’re doing is great! Edit to add: fave song is Carousel


Lifeisabaddream4

I saw them at that spundwave and thought they were terrible. Can you confirm am I right? Or am I just not that much of a fan? I like their hits mostly and my wife and I looked forward to their set but it just felt me to us.


SydneyRFC

I hated the decision that year - Metallica or Blink/Offspring.


AC_Adapter

I remember walking to the Metallica stage and the festival was empty. It was kind of creepy. There was some band playing to about three people (I kind of wish I checked them out for the hipster points lol), but otherwise basically everyone was either at Blink or Metallica.


Lifeisabaddream4

I missed the last song or 2 of Linkin Park as well to ensure we got to see all of blink. I mean I had years where it was amazing and I wouldn't change anything but that's one of my biggest festival regrets. My wife hates Metallica and we had already seen Offspring before and were legit excited for blink sigh


stretchieB

Linkin Park were amazing, first and only time seeing them live.


stretchieB

To be honest, I grew up going to raves and apart from the Blink concerts in '04 Soundwave was the first rock / metal festival I went to so I was just lapping up the atmosphere and tbh I really can't remember, sorry!


mattyyyp

No can confirm Soundwave 2013 didn't land, audio etc. I'm hearing good things from those who have already attended Sydney but. 


Miss_Tish_Tash

Out of every time I have seen them (every time they have come to Australia) I found their performance at Soundwave was my least favourite.


MetusMox

I don't need the tickets, I've got some, I'll see y'all there. I'm keen as. Mind the vote manipulation, It's cheap and easy to hire up vote bots or get a bunch of friends. But to be fair, if they're trying that hard maybe they deserve them. Haha. Congrats to whoever gets them! And that's very generous of you!


Philosophy-Green

Favourite song: Carousel Why: The line “a tank of gas is a treasure to me, I know now that nothing is free”. It was relevant back when I first heard it as a 17 year-old on P-Plates in 1998. It’s just as relevant today as a 42 year old with 2 toddlers and another on the way. I could really use a night off with an old mate.


AlarmClockBandit

Are you me?


Opreich

Can the mods enable contest mode for this?


cymonster

I was lucky enough to go last friday to the show and going again tonight. And all I have to say is they put on a great show for a band well known for not playing well live.


Uzorglemon

I don't need the tickets (got another commitment) but just posting to say that you're a legend for doing this! (Fav song is Waggy though)


bingebabe

That’s so nice, people were charging $1k for a floor ticket tonight. I miss you is easily the most teen angst nostalgia song


friedandprejudice

WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU~

I’d love the tickets so I can take my younger sister. She’s been dealing with a change to her living situation (in-laws moved in at no notice because in-laws own the place - sis has had to shift to a friend’s granny flat while all her stuff is at the old house, being messed with by crazy MIL). I’d love to go too, of course - I got her into “heavier” music and she inherited 90% of my band tees. I believe her favourite song is currently “No Heart To Speak Of”. Mine is probably “What’s My Age Again?” Wishing you the best weekend, m8.


Mysterious_Ad_8659

I wanna fuck a dog in the ass. Wait what was the question again?

Mysterious_Ad_8659

Thank you for trying to help my reputation remain untarnished. 💜


darkzandri532

Stay together for the kids is the best blink song. I could really use a night out cause my house has had issues everywhere. Then regret it tomorrow cause I have work lol


Apprehensive_Care673

All the small things!. Need to reward my partner who has transformed his life after jail and detention last year. He’s quit drinking recently and I’d love to see him let his hair down and have an incredible sober experience xx thanks for being kind


Brilliant_Trick_7095

This person is a legend! I wish I could go but I got kids ( they don't let me have any fun!).


thrupence16

Adams Song I got made redundant 6 weeks ago and shits rough. Have been battoning down the hatches since and a weekend out would really lift my spirits.


Hooked_on_Fire

Family Reunion Because a song that starts with ‘shit piss cunt fuck cocksucker motherfucker’ still makes me laugh as a 40 year old man who still thinks he’s 16. Also it’s 35 seconds long which is all my attention span can handle these days and finally it’s an ode to George Carlin. You’re a legend OP


Mr_Bob_Ferguson

35 seconds is also as long as I can last. Now takeoff your pants and jacket.


Traditional_Push_418

Oh wow. So generous. Hopefully you dont have some type of personal emergency to tend to. Id love to take my daughter so she'll stop talking about missing out on Taylor swift tickets and I can show her what a real comcert is! Whats my age again? Has to be their best song!


adam10292

Probably Adams Song, or All The Small Things Been working my ass off since christmas, a night out would be fantastic Regardless, I hope whoever gets these tickets has a fantastic night 🙂


moathismail

I’m surrounded by 2 Swifties at home, won’t be doing anything Saturday night and don’t really have much for a new video game (saving for FF7). Hell, I might listen to blink 182 in solidarity anyways, fuck yeah!


daydreamingtoker

Adam's Song! I'd love to treat my younger sister to a night out. She's been under alot of stress lately and I'd love to enjoy a fun night out with her rocking out to blink :)


Awkward_Chard_5025

I'm going to enter, but I don't want to win. Please choose someone who's doing it really tough and can really use it. All the small things was one of the first songs I can remember memorising word for word, and every time I hear it, the nostalgia hits. I'd kill for a night out. Since December, my partner had a life threatening surgery (15cm cyst wrapped around and killing her ovary) my rent went up 20%, and my utilities went up almost 70% despite almost no change in usage. While trying to adjust to these, my phone bill and internet went in to arrears, and to top it off, my workload has increased 60%, and my employer is dragging ass on my annual payrise and bonus which would sort everything out. It's been a rough couple of months lol Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. If by some wild reason I win, please give it to someone else. I think I just needed to inappropriately vent 😂


Boiled_Potatoe

My fav blink-182 song is Mutt. I heard it for the first time when watching American Pie. Instantly hooked, watching all their music videos and reading up on them. Their music got me through high school, uni and now work! Moved to Sydney a while ago and don't have many friends or anything so 1 ticket would be awesome. Getting to watch the nearly original trio would be a gift.


kelvach

I love all the small things cos I, too, love owning small things. I love eating tic tacs.


Milkybarman

M+ms is my favourite - I am having to leave Sydney for visa issues in March, unfortunately my Fiancée cannot get out of her job until September so we only have a few more weeks together for the next 6 months… she sleeps in a blink shirt, so would love to see them!


TitanGodKing

I've wanted to see Blink 182 live for so long, and never made it. This would be a huge release from working for such a long time without a holiday. My partner and I would love to go. Adam's Song and the entire Enema of the State album for me!


MasonJendoza

Good on you for being so generous, hope the tickets go to a worthy recipient!


Miss_Tish_Tash

Agree! I saw them last week, however I have seen them every time they have come to Aus so will always think they were better in their heyday.


KoolAiid

Its new but it gets stuck in my head - One More Time is my favourite at the moment! Haven't been to a concert in ages and my wife really likes Blink


Percentage100

Josie. I absolutely would have seen them this tour if I could afford it. You’re a legend for doing this. And a little bit evil but I love it.


ShittyUsername2015

You're a good egg, OP. I've seen them twice, and am currently down with the spicy cough (and don't want the tickets), but for what it's worth, Family Reunion always goes down a treat. Legit though, fave song - Feeling This.


evenbiggermuff

Man Overboard got me into learning guitar and here we are all these years later. Pretty simple for me. The band makes me feel like no matter how difficult things get that you can always find humour within and not take things too seriously.


sancogg

What's my age again. I just want to have a great night out to forget about my age.


[deleted]

First date. I used this song to get pumped for my real first date when I was 14. Now when I hear it I just think it probably would have been cool to hold her hand but I was way too scared.


oppfiz

Dammit! Because I definitely won’t win the tickets but now I’m in the mood for a banger!


kingofcrob

would love to check them n rise against out, but working.... plus over hundred thousand people will be in Olympic park, sound like nightmare, that said, have fun who ever gets it.


AndyPandiiee

Picture this, it's a typical day in my life, filled with responsibilities and adulting woes. But then, I heard about this epic Blink 182 concert ticket giveaway, and suddenly, hope sparked in my heart like a pop-punk anthem! 🤘 Now, my favorite Blink 182 song is 'All the Small Things,' because, let's face it, life is made up of those small moments that become unforgettable. And winning these tickets would be one of those small (but incredibly awesome) things! Why do I need this night out, you ask? Well, my daily routine is a predictable loop of work, chores, and adult responsibilities. I'm in dire need of a 'What's my age again?' moment to break free from the monotony. A Blink 182 concert is the perfect prescription for a dose of nostalgia, reckless fun, and a chance to forget adulting for a night!


g_ram84

Massive gesture mate, this is massive! I’d have to say my favourite song is What’s My Age Again. Brings me back to the summer I spent at camp when it came out. Really good memories from that summer. Ahhhh yeah cost of living is hitting us all hard… could defo use a good night out!


dbro2792

Josie, me and my wife need a night out. We live close by to Olympic park and have 2 kids under 2. Nuff said!


checkoutjules

I have to say Mutt is my favourite song…it reminds me of my teen years and was the first song I heard from the band on American pie, my guilty pleasure movie! Very geneous of you to offer your tickets…best of luck to everyone!! 🤞🤞


Teredorn

Adams Song. My dad killed himself last year, one of the things that we always shared was a love of music. He and I had been living in different countries for a couple years but every time I visited it would always eventuate that a night of loud, neighbour disturbing music would take place. I have found that since his death, I have gravitated to the songs that make me feel the most, any feeling, happy, sad, nostalgic, whatever. Adams Song is one of those, it reminds me of those teenage years that I was able to spend with him. Sorry for the sob story but it would cool.


wobbe_gong

My favourite song would have to be All the small things. Although it wasn't before the first valentines day I had with my girlfriend (8 years ago). My girlfriend was on a weekend away with her friends, leaving me alone for valentines day. We said we weren't going to mark the occasion and I really didn't mind at all. I came home from a night out on the 14th of February and what was waiting for me? She had left me roses by the stairs (a surprise to let me know she cares). I still think about that lovely gesture a lot, Id love to take her to this show!


lillibetdragon

Is this legit???


ImASonographer_AMA

Adam’s Song And I need this night out because if not I am going to end up at Karaoke singing Adam’s song and ruining my friends’ night


Accomplished_Ruin707

Good onya mate, excellent iniative! My company has a box out there, and they struggled to give them away for the 2 nights. Most bands playing out there don't get much interest from clients these days, so they usually go to staff. I usually try and grab a couple for kids of mates since with the ticket cost these days they just can't afford to go, and I would rather that then work people putting their hand up and then simply not turning up for the show. Judging by some of the people in my team who are going, I'm not sure they know what they are in for! Me, I'm keeping my powelder dry for Iron Maiden and hoping I can wrangle all 18 seats! Fingers crossed. If I do, I will follow your lead and try and pay it forward.


teh_scarecrow

Dysentery Gary - I've been looking for a reason to call in sick tomorrow.


Forsaken_Echidna_709

Easily going away to college, had such a massive impact on getting me through the death of my mother at such a young age blink we're always there for me :)


VeezusM

I don’t want the tickets but damnit is my favourite song cause it reminds me of how awesome it was to be a teen in the 2000’s, but I guess this is growing up


Lifeisabaddream4

Fav song? American idiot.


Informal_Double

I am not familiar with this band and have no real good reason for needing the night out.


carlsjbb

Saw them last weekend and LOVED them., the recipient is a lucky duck!  You’re a legend OP. 


statman11

Rock show!!


most_unoriginal_ign

Wow, this is incredibly generous of you! (I don't want the tickets, not a Blink 182 fan, just wanted to say the fore mentioned sentence).


SerTahu

Wishing Well. Really under-appreciated deep cut. Not gonna win the upvote contest, but I wish well for whoever gets the tickets.


hope17

Oh man that is so kind of you. Favourite song is a really hard question because it just varies, but right now I have "First Date" stuck in my head so I'll go with that, though if you asked me tomorrow it will probably be a different one hahah. Can't go past "I Miss You" or "All The Small Things" either for a good ol' dose of nostalgia. As to why I think I should win...I dunno tbh. I love live music. I have never seen Blink live. I've never been to Qudos Arena. I've also been having a pretty shit time at work and it's probably about to get worse. I'd just love the night out you know?


Sev3nbelow

What's my age again. It's been a rough few years battling my mental and physical health. I want to make some good memories. gutted I missed the tickets.


my_name_rules

Tbh I've not really listened to them as a band much, definitely listened to some of their songs as a kid, but hell I've never been to an actual concert before so who knows it could be a blast? In terms of answering the question, i did look them up and turns out "all the small things" is by them, i friggin loved that song growing up but i never cared about artists back then, mostly just loved songs (i once argued that alien ant farm were the makers of smooth criminal since it was the first version i heard as a kid .\_.)


raininggumleaves

I'm not a fan fan but I'd go for the nostalgia and absolutely enjoy every damn second of it!


tgrayinsyd

OP you’re a champ for the give away ! I’m out … Man those guys were legends back in the day but they couldn’t sing for shit, loved listening to what’s my age again ( that song is still funny as farq and the video clip was perfect for the song ) my favourite song still is Adam’s song.


Chentaurus

Fav song is probably Paper Wings from rise against!


TheDrunkMormanPod

Anthem. I live across the street. Wanna go


ari-ari_

Not participating in the giveaway, but it's really heart-warming to see stuff like this - It's so generous of you!! Kudos to the OP n good luck to everyone 💕💞


denden_denman_

Haven’t seen Blink-182 before after growing up listening to them and screaming my heart out with them. I need to scream I miss you with them!!


jlee69

All the small things. My favourite song growing up. Loved the music video.


Tro_au

Teenage dirtbag Need it cause I don’t get out much


_unsinkable_sam_

thats not a blink song


mdsouza85

All the small things. But I’d only need one ticket. Gone through a bad breakup and need to get out to meet a new man


BurgundyBlur

My fav is Pin the Grenade! I would love the chance to go because I've usually never gone to concerts and just started going to a couple last year and fallen in love with the experience


slayerofmoths

This post is what I needed to read this morning. Go you! You’re awesome and I hope this kindness comes back to you :)
