Guys. Guys… I know it might be odd for a chick pushing 41 to be crazy excited about seeing the Harlem Globetrotters live — but I am.
Did you ever have one of those dreams as a kid that just never came true? Next to going to space camp, this is it for me. I didn’t even watch basketball, but there was something about those Globetrotters on TV that completely sucked me in. I don’t know how many times I asked if we could see them live and my parents rebuffed me, but I feel like it was a lot.
So when Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment invited my family to experience Harlem Globetrotters magic in Toronto this April, “yes” couldn’t come out fast enough.
And I want YOU to be able to experience the magic with me. So one lucky family of four is going to win game tickets AND Magic Pass pre-game event tickets. (Enter here.)
What’s a Magic Pass, you ask? Before the game, from 12:30-1:00 p.m., you’ll take part in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with your family — spending time on the court with the Globetrotters. We’ll be shooting, learning a few ball tricks, and of course there will be time for autographs and photos!
So fun, right?!
If you don’t win, don’t worry — I still have a discount code for you to use if you want to buy tickets so you don’t ruin your child’s dreams like my parents ruined mine.
There are three games at the Ricoh Coliseum on Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3, 2016. Buy your tickets here and use the code MOMMYGEAREST where it reads “offer code.”
See you there!
The fine print: Retail value of this prize pack is $248. Contest is open to anyone, anywhere (except QC) BUT transportation to and from the game and parking are not included, nor is lodging and meals. Soft/rubber-soled shoes must be worn on court and neither Mommy Gearest nor MSLE will be held responsible in the event that you or a family member is refused entry. By accepting your prize pack, you assume all liabilities related to your Harlem Globetrotters experience. Contest closes on March 25, 2016, at 12 a.m. ET.

I remember going to a game when I was a kid! It was such a fun experience. My husband, who is an obsessive basketball fan, hasn’t been and would love to go.

I’d love to go to the Globetrotters because I work with some guys who have developmental disabilities and I know this would be something that they’d really like to do…and I’d love to be there to experience it with them!

I’m heartbroken that I can’t go April 3 or 4 as we booked our Prenatal classes for that weekend AGES ago. I’ve always wanted to see them too and it seems like a great date / day out before baby comes 🙁

I’ve love to take the this too, but I’m a bit GTA’d out right now and am trying to stay outta the city. Hopefully they make their way a bit further down the 401 as I’ve got a couple girls that would like to go.

We went to a Harlem Globetrotters game last April and The Kids still talk about it to this day. They loved the guy sitting on top of the net and all the silliness. Hoping to head back!
