All righty guys...someone whose initials are Doug over at the Backstage posted a Pollstar link about the Monday event that contained this tidbit:
[quote]Although the exclusive event is for industry and media only, L.A. radio station 93.1 Jack FM is holding a contest that will grant a few listeners a chance to attend.

So, I did a quick Google and sure enough, the station is running a promotion and ticket giveaway. Go here and click on the link with the giant photo of the Regatta cover on the front page:

The catch is that you have to register your email address with the JACK-FM affiliate in Los Angeles, but given that the local JACK station is all I listen to outside college radio here in Nashville, I didn't really mind sending 'em my digits.
You'll be taken to a page asking you to sign up for something called the "League of Ordinary Listeners". They'll want your city, state, email addy, but nothing too personal. After you're all signed up, you get taken to a page listing various station promotions and the Police one is near the middle of the page.
I would assume you get an email if you win. Do remember this is a public promotion and our chances aren't great, but if you don't enter you can't win, after all!
