I would LOVE to win tickets to surprise my girlfriend who just joined Corvallis’ Sick Town Derby Dames and has never been to see the amazing talent of Portlands Derby Girls Live!! Thank you in advance for your kindness!
To say this would be fun would be an understatement! I’d take my younger sister if you’d pick me!
Why do I want to go? Because my 12 year old daughter is trying desperately to fit in, and when we went to last year’s championship for the first time, she saw a group of women who were proud and strong, maybe a little different from the mainstream but confident in themselves and bonding with their teammates. Watching the RCR shows her that you can be and do whatever you want, no matter what others say about it. Plus, it’s kick ass.
I really would love to take a break from moving this weekend to go see me some roller derby action. Please, please, please pick me!!!
Roller derby is fun already but going VIP would really take it to the next level!
Roller derby! Never been. Would love to go! =]
Have yet to see the Rose City Rollers up close and personal. My time has arrived.
I need to get out more. It’s only January and I feel I’ve been hibernating for half a year. Please and thank you!
I want to go
Nothing is as invigorating as watching a bunch of strong, confident, bad ass women on wheels. I’d love to go and get inspired.
I’ve been promising my 12 year old daughter a trip to the roller derby ever since she fell in love with “Whip It” and claimed she wanted to be in Roller Derby. Let’s bring her to her first match in style. Thanks, Frank
This would be so fun to go to. I have never gone to one and have always heard good reviews about it.
What coukd be more fun than watching some bad ass chicks go at it?! Would love to see them!
I want to go to there!
I want to see some badass women be badass. They give me courage!
I’m trying for a great first date with this girl I met. She’s really nice but also super shy and told me she was emboldened by the confidence of the girls from roller derby. She works a lot and Saturday is the only night we can go out. She doesn’t know that the season opener is that night. It would be great to surprise her! …maybe she could even meet some of the girls. Thanks for considering it, – Ben
Girl Freaking Power! I love watching real women who love their real bodies kicking ass and having a great time!
I want to go because I have never attended a roller derby before. Give me the tickets and break my cherry!
I want a bad ass girlfriend, and can you think of any women more bad ass then the Rode City Rollers? :)
I have been dying to go to a Roller Derby event since I learned about the league last year! I’m excited at the opportunity to see the season opener and be inspired by the action and awesome athletes. Maybe one day I’ll have enough guts to join a team myself!
Anyway, I’m a student and could never afford to get tickets in good seats, let alone have extra cash to buy drinks. Pick me!
I’d love to win tickets because I’m new to the Portland, Oregon area from the midwest, and I’ve never been to a roller derby. And it sounds AWESOME. :)
Yes! I have never gone to the derby before. I need to get out and do something after not being employed for what seems like forever. Please choose my name.
Never been, sounds like a blast! “Choo-choo-choose me”- Ralph Wiggum
My husbands dream..bad girls beating the hell out of each other and on rollerskates even!!!
OH FOR SURE! Bring it on!!!
This would be incredibly awesome to experience!!! Go ROSE CITY ROLLERS! You all ROCK!
New to roller derby and very interested!
My husband and I have only been to one Roller Derby match in Portland and it was a qualifier. Even still, I can’t seem to get it out of my head!! We are just dying to go.
I haven’t been to roller derby yet and I want to go.
This would be so fun!!
It’s on my Portland bucket list!!
so-i’ve only been to one roller derby match and i got kicked out for drinking in the parking lot. winning these tickets would mean i wouldn’t get kicked out at round 2! please?
I’d love to take my husband and son and check this out!
I would love to win and bring my daughters!
The sight of seeing the Jammer burst into the pack of wouldbe blockers. scratching,clawing, fighting her way through and with one quick burst of speed she jams her way past to score. That’s why I want to go.
I wish I was hardcore enough to be a roller girl, but I guess I’ll just have to watch instead. That’s true about a lot of things.
I’ve lived in PDX for 6+ years now and i’ve never gone to a rose city rollers event! I would love to start this weekend :)
Would be awesome to be picked. Awesome.
Please, please
This would be a whole lot more fun than Rock’em / Sock’em Robots!
Wow where do i start. Ive bren dying to go to one of these for years!!! I am in town for just the week and loving portland. We dont have this sport where i am from and me and my friend would be very apprciative of these tickets.. pdxpipeline is an awesome app. I follow you guys on instagram too and tell my friends to follow you guys if theyre looking for an activity in portland. Keep up the good work
I can’t believe I still haven’t been to a real live roller derby. Help me out! :)
I would love to see Portland roller derby!
I’m wishing REALLY hard that I win tickets! How cool would it be to sit in the Spark section and cheer our home team on to victory! I promise I’ll yell as loud as I can. ;-)
My dream girl is the sister of one of the players on the Derby. Tickets to the ‘opener’ would be a great way to show support for the players and show my true love how much I care for her and her family.
This would be a total GAS….I’ve just gotta go to this, and take pics….put your smiles on, ladies!
I would be forever changed if I had the chance to see the carnage on the roller rink, as perfectly executed by those ravenous, radiant, ravishing, ready to kick some ass, Rose City Rollers!

A few of my friends are into roller derby and I’ve never experienced it yet. I’d love to see if I’d like it!!!
I’d love to go support the girls! Go Betties!
I’ve been wanting to go forever!
Go Rollers, Winning isn’t everything, just the best thing, winning tickets is both.
This is the single, most competitive, female dominated sport under any arena roof. I want to be there to scream my head off and root for the lovely ladies of roller derby! They ROCK!!!
What a better outside the box date night to surprise my husband with!!! We’ve never been to the roller derby and would love the opportunity to attend!

Killer VIP seats!? What a great date-night! My wife is thinking about trying to join a derby team, but that makes me a little afraid. Be fun to check it out.
Haven’t been to a roller derby, but used to try it with my friends at the skating rink in the 70′s and 80′s …. I think it’d be a unique experience ….
I can live vicariously watching the Rose City Rollers!
I’ve never been to a bout but I have always wanted to! I would be thrilled to win tickets!

I want to see some roller Derby girls!!! New to pdx and wanting to go to a derby
I have still not been able to figure out how to be so clever so that you’ll pick me, or whether or not it really even matters…
It’s fun doing the simple math down below though.
I’d love to see the RCR. We have never been and Saturday is our date night!
I’ve lived in Portland for 3 years and have yet to go to a roller derby bout! Help me I’m poor!
Comment :-)
We Heart Roller Derby.
would love it up close.
Peace
I’ve been a rough week and I could use some aggression and excitement, please.
My boyfriend finally finished school and moved to the area a week ago from El Paso and I would love to show him how rad the Rose city is with an awesome event like this!
Here we go again!
Hell yes amazing, strong women kicking ass! I would love to go see these ladies in action!
I’d like to go because I’ve been wanting to see roller derby for a couple of years but haven’t been able to make it mostly due to financial situation.
