As some of you anxious Steemians have been anticipating...

I am officially announcing my STEEMFEST 2 Ticket Giveaway!

We are now a-little less then 2 months away from the big event, and there has been a lot of excitement and anticipation! The event will be epic and something you do not want to miss but with the smallest ticket price around 222€ [ 265 SBD / 191 STEEM ] on top of flights and hotel accommodations some just simply don't have the funds to make the trip. So I decided to ease the burden for a few loyal Steemians, whom might be right on the edge of attending.

Immediately after hearing of the upcoming STEEMFEST 2, I was extremely excited, of course, and had offered to help sponsor the event in anyway I could. I know how much these events cost to run and it isn't no cheap ordeal, quite the opposite. So once the ticket structure had been released I planned to purchase a Platinum Ticket in order help reduce those costs... but after talking with @roelandp we had a much better idea... Buy More Tickets.

_{So for those thinking I coped out when buying a minnow ticket ;) think again}

So I figure, instead of buying one expensive ticket, why not help others looking to go with less means and take the ticket price off the table! So here we are, I'm ready to giveaway some tickets to a once in the lifetime experience (trust me on this one!)

I wanted to give a quick shootout to the other great Steemians who are doing their own STEEMFEST 2 Contests / Giveaways / Travel Fund:
