Ticket Alternative Sponsors Atlanta Foursquare Day

We’re happy to be a part of the second annual Atlanta Foursquare Day, happening on Saturday, April 16. We’re joining sponsors like Engauge, Fifth Group Restaurants, Sweetwater Brewery and others in celebrating some great deals and a fabulous party at W Atlanta Downtown.

This year there will be more special deals all day from the likes of Rita’s (free Italian ice), Dancing Goats Coffee Bar (BOGO on all coffee/espresso drinks) and more (check out the full list and details HERE).

There will also be a party held at W Atlanta Downtown on the hotels rooftop bar. There is no need for an invite, folks just have to check-in “2011 Atlanta Foursquare Day Party” venue at the hotel to get entry. Party-goers will be treated to a complimentary “Foursquare Cocktail,” as well as Foursquare buttons, coozies, stickers and, for the first 100 entrants, a free Foursquare T-shirt. The W will also be bringing in bites from their well-known restaurants, and a cash bar will feature drink specials.

Local charities Atlanta Community Food Bank and Atlanta Humane Society are also involved and will be benefiting from this event. Attendees can bring non-perishable food for ACFB, and at check-in there will an opportunity to make a pledge to Atlanta Humane Society. That pledge will be multiplied by the number of check-ins (capped at 250) to give the final pledge. So if a person pledges 10 cents and the number of check-ins is 250, their final pledge would be $25. More information about this event is available HERE.

Another stellar year of growth for Ticket Alternative is coming to a close, which means it’s time for our annual holiday party. For the second year in a row, it was held in Roswell, Ga., on the hallowed ground of Whirlyball Atlanta. While Whirlyball sounds like one of the noisy games partaken by the fun-loving Whos that drove the Grinch to steal an entire Christmas from them, the unholy mash-up of bumper cars, basketball, jai alai, and lacrosse is, in fact, very real. At 5:30 p.m. on Friday, December 10, we closed up the office, and Ticket Alternative employees and their guests made the journey up 400 for an epic inter-office grudge match. … Continue Reading

Admission is $20 (service charge-free) and includes free cocktails from 5 to 11 p.m. Rock and Roll Hotel co-owner Steve Lambert says “100 percent” of proceeds will go to the employees and management of the Argonaut to help make up for lost wages and also “small repairs” that can help get the bar up and running.
