Event Ticket Giveaways in Baton Rouge, LA: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners

Baton Rouge readers can enter several ticket giveaways in late October 2026, including LSU games, Saints drawings, and local radio contests. This updated list shows what is open now, who can enter, and when each entry window closes. A ticket giveaway here means a chance to win, not a free ticket.

Each sponsor sets its own entry dates, age rules, and entry method.

Which LSU ticket chances are open?

LSU Athletics via Wit Contests is offering game-day tickets plus two VIP hospitality tailgate passes for the LSU vs. Texas football game in Tiger Stadium through the Manda showdown entry page. The prize centers on seats plus tailgate hospitality, so check that entry page for date, entry limit, and game-day rules.

LSU Athletics also opened a ticket lottery list for Savannah Bananas games at Alex Box Stadium on March 4, 2027 and Tiger Stadium on March 6, 2027, according to the Savannah Bananas announcement. The list stays open until Oct. 31, 2026 at 10:59 p.m.

CT. That deadline falls just after today, so Baton Rouge fans need to join the list before it closes. The LSU promotions hub also lists the Whataburger Kickoff Kid opportunity for children ages 6-12 alongside football sweepstakes.

Parents should read the age range and game-day role carefully before entering a child.

How does the Saints second-chance drawing work?

The Louisiana Lottery runs a Saints second-chance drawing for non-winning Saints scratch and Fast Play tickets entered online through free Club Lotteaux, as described in the Saints second-chance details. Drawing #2 closes Nov. 30, 2026.

This is a second chance to win, not a refund for a losing ticket. You need a qualifying non-winning Saints ticket and a free online club account. Enter the ticket code online before the drawing cutoff, then keep the ticket until winners are confirmed.

Club Lotteaux entry is free, but the underlying scratch or Fast Play ticket is a paid lottery product. Buy only what fits your budget, and do not buy tickets solely to chase a drawing entry.

What local radio contests cover Baton Rouge shows?

Baton Rouge station 102.5 WFMF lists currently promoted local ticket contests including 13th Gate VIP packs and Jo Koy at Raising Cane's River Center under the WFMF contest rules page. Those examples show the mix of seasonal attractions and touring comedy available through local radio. Contest prizes, dates, and entry methods can rotate quickly.

Radio contests often use online entry forms, on-air codes, or station events. Read the rules page for each contest for start time, end time, age minimum, and limit of one entry per person or per day. iHeartMedia is also running a national holiday sweepstakes season with flyaway trips, VIP experiences, gift cards, and signed merchandise for local station entrants.

Check the local station contest page first, since local rules control how Baton Rouge listeners qualify.

Which recent Baton Rouge offers have closed?

Two widely shared Baton Rouge offers are now past their entry windows. Louisiana First News offered a Greater Baton Rouge State Fair family 4-pack from Oct. 1-18, 2026 for the fair running Oct.

22-Nov. 1. Entry for that 4-pack has closed.

Stateside Brands/Surfside ran a Baton Rouge Gavin Adcock ticket giveaway for the Sept. 24 concert, with entry Aug. 20-27, 2026.

That offer was limited to entrants age 21-plus living within 50 miles of 275 S. River Rd. Do not send entry information to those closed pages.

How can you enter without missing a limit?

Use this quick check before you submit any Baton Rouge ticket entry: Enter early when a window closes within days, such as the Bananas lottery list. For drawings weeks away, set a reminder before the final day in case entry sites slow down.

• Confirm the closing date and time zone, including whether it is 10:59 p.m. CT or another cutoff.
• Confirm age, location, and account rules, such as 21-plus, local radius, or club membership.
• Confirm whether purchase is needed, and treat "no purchase necessary" differently from a free ticket.
• Save confirmation screens and keep tickets, codes, or receipts until winners are announced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to live in Baton Rouge to enter these drawings?

It depends on the sponsor. Some radio and brand offers use a local radius, while LSU and lottery drawings use their own eligibility rules.

Is a second-chance lottery drawing the same as a free Saints ticket?

No. It is a chance to win after entering a qualifying non-winning ticket online by the stated drawing deadline.

Why do some giveaway pages show past dates?

Sponsors often leave rules pages up after a promotion ends. Check the entry dates before you share personal details.
