I know I said the free spots at FIFA Fan Festival are the move… but Mötley Crüe rolls into town this Sunday, and this one's probably gonna hit capacity. It might be a great idea to lock in tickets so you don’t get turned away at the door. That’s where we come in…

We're giving away a pair of tickets to see one of the loudest, lewdest, crüedest rock bands of all time. Crank the volume, and prepare to yell every word. P.S. Ziggy Marley, Felix Cartal, Walk Off The Earth, and more are also playing FIFA Fan Festival this weekend, check out the full details in our Ultimate Guide To The World Cup.*
