In the event a dispute regarding
the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible.

Tickets are subject to additional terms and conditions that are printed on the tickets or available through a link on electronic tickets. Sponsor is not responsible for travel to and from the game. All expenses and incidental costs not expressly stated in the Prize descriptions above, including but not limited to ground transportation, meals, incidentals, service charges or facility charges, lodging, taxes, gratuity or other expenses are the sole responsibility of the Grand Prize winner and his or her guest.
The Prize winner's guests must be eighteen (18) years of age or older, or if such guest is under the age of majority in his or her state of residence (a "minor"), the Prize winner must be such minor's parent or legal guardian, or such guest must accompany the Prize winner with the written permission of such parent or legal guardian in form and substance acceptable to Sponsor in its sole discretion. Children under the age of sixteen (16) will not be admitted unless accompanied by an adult. In the event the Prize winner or any guests engage in behavior during any game that (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) is obnoxious or threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the Prize winner's and guests' attendance at the applicable game early, and send the Prize winner and/or his or her guest(s) home with no further compensation.
In the event that any of the game(s) listed in the Prize descriptions does not or cannot take place as scheduled or at all, for reasons included but not limited to scheduling conflicts, cancellations, postponement, an event of "Force Majeure" (defined below), or for any other reason, then in lieu of attending the affected game, the Prize winner will receive One Hundred Dollars ($100) (the "Substitute Prize"), and such amount plus the remaining components, if any, of the Prizes shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor's prize obligation to the Prize winner, and no other or additional compensation will be awarded. In addition, if attendance at the game is restricted or prohibited due to local or other applicable COVID-19 restrictions or another event of Force Majeure, the Sponsor reserves the right to allocate game-day tickets using whatever methods it chooses in its sole discretion, and if such allocation prevents the Prize winner and/or guests from attending the game that is played notwithstanding such affected attendance, then the Prize winner will receive the Substitute Prize for the home game that the Prize winner could have otherwise attended, and such amount plus the remaining components, if any, of the Prizes shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor's prize obligation to the Prize winner, and no other or additional compensation will be awarded.
No cash alternative or substitution of prizes will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute prize(s) of comparable value if any prize listed is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason. Tickets awarded in the Grand Prize cannot be resold. The total ARV of all prizes is $4,999.00.
Actual odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
GENERAL PRIZE CONDITIONS: Prizes will be awarded only if the potential prize winner fully complies with these Official Rules. All portions of the prize are non-assignable and non- transferable. Prizes pictured in point-of-sale, online, television and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other Sweepstakes materials are for illustrative purposes only. All details and other restrictions of the prize not specified in these Official Rules will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. No cash alternative or substitution of the prize will be allowed, except Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute prize of comparable value if any prize listed is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason. The prize winner shall be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and the reporting consequences thereof, and for any other fees or costs associated with the applicable prize. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, deduct or withhold the amount of applicable tax on any cash or cash equivalent prize. The Sponsor will issue and file an IRS Form 1099 or equivalent tax withholding documentation
for the retail value of any prize or other items of value transferred to the prize winner by the Sponsor in accordance with IRS requirements, and the Sponsor may also share such documentation with a state or local government agency as required by law. Refusal or failure of the prize winner to satisfy the requirements of all necessary and appropriate tax, withholding or other required compliance terms (including Social Security number, IRS Form W8BEN, IRS Form W9, or equivalent information), as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, may result in the prize winner forfeiting the prize and an alternate potential winner may be selected in accordance with these Official Rules. Sponsor will award prize subject to any applicable withholding taxes, and the amount of the prize transferred, as reduced by any applicable withholding taxes, will constitute full payment of the prize, as applicable. The potential winner will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (collectively, "Prize Claim Documents"). If a winner is under the age of majority in such winner's state of residence, at Sponsor's option, the applicable prize either will be awarded in the name of the parent or legal guardian of such minor winner, or the parent or legal guardian of such minor winner will be required to ratify and sign Prize Claim Documents. If any potential winner (or, in the case of a minor, such minor winner's parent or legal guardian) fails or refuses to sign and return all Prize Claim Documents by the deadline specified in the prize notification, the winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. The winner's travel companion must sign an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Liability Release prior to any travel documents being released.

No mechanically reproduced, illegible, incomplete, forged, software-generated or other automated multiple entries will be accepted. If a dispute as to the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected entry may be deemed ineligible.

Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. These Official Rules cannot be modified or amended in any way except in a written document issued in accordance with law by a duly authorized representative of Sponsor. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
