Eric Clapton will once again be hosting his Crossroads Guitar Festival, this time in Austin, Texas, and now he’s giving you a chance to enjoy a VIP experience to the shows.
The three-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has announced a new sweepstakes where two premium tickets “on Eric Clapton’s guest list” are up for grabs, along with round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations. The package also comes with a Clapton-signed Fender Stratocaster guitar and a merch package.
The sweepstakes is being hosted by the platform Fandiem. Fans can enter by making a donation that goes to Clapton’s Crossroads Centre in Antigua, which helps those recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. The sweepstakes is open until Sept. 4 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
