Win tickets to Thomas & Friends: The Great Race Premiere (limited time giveaway)

October 19, 2016 by Heather Step 10 Comments

thomas-ticketsCalling all fans of Thomas the tank engine! And I am sure that there are many out there! We have some tickets to give away for a movie premiere – but it is THIS SUNDAY in Johannesburg so you had better act fast!

Thomas has been playing in our home for as long as I can remember. We even have games going around the house where I am Thomas and Nicky is Annie and Clarabel coaches behind me. And it is very important that we are “coupled up”. I forget how many times we have acted out James going off the track and acting like troublesome trucks. Put it this way: we love Thomas.

Thomas is very shortly going to be on the big screen and we have a set of 4 family tickets to give away. It can be for two adults and two kids or one adult and three kids.

The premise of The Great Race sees Thomas wishing he could represent Sodor at the Great Railway Show which is happening on the mainland but the bigger engines just laugh at him and say he’s not big, strong or fast enough to compete with the best engines from around the world. Thomas is up against international competition from a host of new engines but Thomas is determined to find a way, even when his plans all go wrong and the devious Diesel also threatens his chances to compete. This international exciting musical adventure where friendship always wins the race, promises to delight children and families across the world.

The film will be released on 28 October for three weeks. The film also contains important life lessons through Thomas’ amazing adventures. The DVD will be available from November 2016.

More info on Thomas is available on the website and Facebook.

 

Are you keen? All you have to do is leave a comment and tell us why you love Thomas.

Terms and conditions:

  1. Competition is open to Gauteng residents only, or you must be able to attend here on Sunday.
  2. The competition will run until Friday. The winner will be announced on our Facebook page and emailed.
  3. If you have won a giveaway on SA Mom Blogs in the last 3 months you will not be eligible for this giveaway. 
  4. The prize is not transferable.

    Personally I love Thomas for his relentless resilience. He never gives up and I love how he’s always able to put differences aside and be a good sport with his friends. My Daughter really loves the idea of a talking train, she enjoys singing along to the theme song, and loves the lil challenges that Thomas always does with his friends. It would be super cool to win the tickets.
