Yesterday, the band announced via their Myspace blog that they’d be giving tickets to one lucky fan in each market, & – even better – allowing that special someone to hang out backstage for a drink before the show! What does the band expect in return? Merch ideas! Tired of t-shirts, stickers, & the boilerplate merch table fare, The Raveonettes want to expand their horizons with input from their fans.

Run exclusively on Twitter, all fans need to do for a chance to win is tweet the date on which they’d like to see the band, along with a new merch idea, making sure to include the hash-tag #ravestour (otherwise the tweet might be missed). The band will select the winner at random & alert the lucky someone in each city via Direct Message 2 days before the show.
