Paul McCartney's Meat Free Monday Campaign Launches Concert Ticket Giveaway
Meat Free Monday, the vegetarian campaign Paul McCartney helped launch, is offering fans of the Beatles legend the chance to win tickets to two of his forthcoming concerts in the U.K.
Winners of the prize draw will be able to choose a pair of tickets to one of McCartney’s two shows at either Co-op Live in Manchester (December 14 or 15) or The O2 in London (December 18 or 19). For a chance to win, fill out the form at MeatFreeMonday.com.
The contest closes at midnight Greenwich Mean Time on Sunday, November 17 (7 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 16). Travel and accommodations are not included.
McCartney, a longtime vegetarian, teamed up with his daughters Mary and Stella to launch Meat Free Monday in 2009. The initiative encourages people to abstain from eating meat at least once during the week.
Meat Free Monday has a stand set up at all stops of McCartney’s Got Back World Tour to raise awareness about the campaign.
McCartney’s Was Interviewed About His Eating Habits on Tour. Meanwhile, Meat Free Monday recently posted an interview with McCartney in which he revealed details about his eating habits while he’s on the road.
The 82-year-old rock legend explained that on a show day, he usually doesn’t eat dinner until after a concert.
Regarding his post-show routine, Paul noted, “I get on the tour bus, and before we change back into our ‘day clothes’ I have a margarita to drink, which is always very welcome! And I have a cheese and pickle sandwich with the English type of pickle: Branston’s pickle. … Those are the two things that are always there, and that I look forward to. It means we’ve done the show and we’re off!”
