Contest Rules — Tour Boston Now

Tour Boston Now Promotional Sweepstakes Official Rules

1. Sponsor

The sponsor of this promotion is Tour Boston Now LLC, (the “Sponsor”).

2. Promotion Type

All promotions are conducted using a sweepstakes format. No purchase, payment, donation, or other consideration is necessary to enter or win. A purchase or payment will not improve an entrant’s chances of winning.

3. Eligibility

Sweepstakes offered by the Sponsor are open only to legal residents of the United States who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry, excluding residents of jurisdictions where the promotion is prohibited by law. Employees, officers, directors, members, managers, agents, and representatives of Sponsor, its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising or promotion agencies, and immediate family members or persons living in the same household of any such individual are not eligible to enter or win.

4. Promotion Period

Start and end times of each sweepstake offered by the Sponsor will be listed on the official Tour Boston Now website and often will be included in the initial message to announce each sweepstake. Note that all times posted are Eastern Time. The start date and time as well as the end date and time outlines the “Promotion Period”. Entries submitted before or after the Promotion Period will not be eligible.

5. How to Enter

During the Promotion Period, eligible individuals may enter by completing any one of the following free entry methods designated by Sponsor on the Tour Boston Now website:

submitting the online entry form on the Tour Boston Now website;
signing up for the Tour Boston Now email newsletter through the official promotion page; or
completing any other free method of entry specifically described on the official promotion landing page.

If Sponsor promotes the sweepstakes on social media, use of social media is not required to enter unless a fully free, legally compliant method of entry is also provided on the website. Limit one entry per person and per email address unless the promotion page expressly states a different limit. Use of automated entries, bots, scripts, macros, or other artificial means of entry is prohibited and may result in disqualification.

6. No Purchase Necessary; No Consideration

This sweepstakes is intended to remove consideration so that the promotion does not become an unlawful lottery. Entrants must not be required to buy anything, pay money, provide any item of value, or undertake burdensome activity as a condition of entry or winning. Sponsor will not give any entrant who makes a purchase, buys a tour, or engages in other paid activity any advantage in odds of winning over entrants who use the free method of entry.

7. Prize Description

One or more winners will receive the prize(s) described on the official promotion page. The number of prizes, a description of each prize, any material restrictions, and the approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each prize must be stated clearly on that page and are incorporated into these Official Rules by reference. No substitution, transfer, or cash redemption is permitted except by Sponsor, which reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if an advertised prize becomes unavailable.

Prizes may include tickets to sporting events or other live events, including, by way of example only, tickets to games or events involving the Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, New England Patriots, or other professional, collegiate, or entertainment events, together with any related ticket package details specifically described on the applicable promotion page. All seat locations, game dates, opponents, event dates, admission terms, and delivery methods are subject to availability, venue rules, ticket issuer terms, league policies, scheduling changes, postponement, and cancellation.

Tour Boston Now is the sole sponsor of the sweepstakes unless expressly stated otherwise. The Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, New England Patriots, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, the National Football League, their member clubs, event venues, ticketing providers, and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, and agents are not sponsors of, do not endorse, are not affiliated with, and are not administering this promotion unless Tour Boston Now expressly states otherwise in writing.

Any trademarks, trade names, team names, league names, logos, service marks, venue names, and other identifying materials referenced in connection with a prize are used solely to describe the prize and remain the property of their respective owners. Sponsor may substitute comparable tickets or another prize of equal or greater value if a described event, team appearance, or ticket package becomes unavailable for any reason.

8. Odds of Winning

The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Promotion Period.

9. Winner Selection

After the Promotion Period has ended, Sponsor or its designated administrator will select the potential winner(s) in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. The random drawing method will be final and binding, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules.

10. Winner Notification and Claim

Potential winner(s) will be notified by email, telephone, direct message, or other reasonable method using the contact information provided at entry. A potential winner may be required to respond within 24 hours or less and to complete and return an affidavit of eligibility, liability release, tax forms, and, where lawful, a publicity release. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to respond on time, is found ineligible, declines the prize, or fails to complete required documents, Sponsor may disqualify that person and select an alternate winner.

For entrants in New Hampshire, any prize or gift will be delivered free of charge within 10 days after announcement of the winner, consistent with applicable New Hampshire sweepstakes guidance.

11. Taxes

Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with acceptance or use of any prize. If required by applicable law, Sponsor will collect a completed IRS Form W-9 and may issue an IRS Form 1099 or other tax reporting form to the winner and the Internal Revenue Service based on the fair market value of the prize and applicable reporting thresholds.

12. Publicity Release; Name, Image, and Likeness

Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes the winner’s consent for Sponsor and its designees to use the winner’s name, city and state of residence, social media handle, photograph, voice, image, statements, and likeness for advertising, publicity, trade, and promotional purposes in any media now known or later developed, including on Sponsor’s website, email marketing, and social media channels, worldwide, in perpetuity, without further notice, review, approval, or additional compensation.

As a condition of being confirmed as a winner, Sponsor may require the winner to sign a written publicity, liability, and eligibility declaration to document that consent, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

13. Social Media Disclosures

If the sweepstakes is advertised or administered through social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, or similar services, the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with those platforms unless expressly stated otherwise. Entrants must comply with the terms, rules, and policies of each applicable platform. If an entry method requires an entrant to post or share content about Sponsor or its services, Sponsor will instruct entrants to disclose the material connection to the promotion clearly, such as by using an appropriate disclosure like #sweepstakes or #contest where required for transparency under FTC principles.

14. Compliance With Federal and state Law; geographic eligibility

Sponsor intends this promotion to comply with applicable federal law and the laws of the states in which the sweepstakes is offered. Unless the applicable promotion page expressly states a narrower eligibility area, the sweepstakes is open to eligible legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia, excluding any jurisdiction where the promotion is prohibited or restricted by law. These Official Rules must be interpreted so that the promotion does not require payment or other unlawful consideration in exchange for a chance to win a prize, and Sponsor will not structure or market the promotion in a way that causes a gambling purpose to predominate over a bona fide promotional activity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, residents of Rhode Island are not eligible to enter or win any sweepstakes, drawing, or prize giveaway sponsored by the Sponsor if the total announced value of the applicable prize or prize pool is $500 or greater, for compliance purposes. For promotions with a total announced prize value below $500, Rhode Island residents may be eligible unless the applicable promotion page states otherwise.

Sponsor will not conduct or promote this sweepstakes through any prohibited electronic machine or entertaining display in Massachusetts. Sponsor also reserves the right to void, cancel, suspend, modify, or limit the promotion in any state or jurisdiction if fraud, technical failures, legal issues, or other causes impair the integrity or lawful administration of the promotion, or if additional registration, bonding, filing, or disclosure obligations would apply.

15. Data and Privacy

Information collected in connection with the sweepstakes will be used by Sponsor for administration of the promotion and as otherwise described in Sponsor’s privacy policy. By entering, entrants agree that Sponsor may contact them regarding the promotion and, if the entrant separately opts in, for marketing communications. Entry into the sweepstakes should not be conditioned on consent to marketing messages beyond what is necessary to administer the promotion.

16. General Conditions

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any individual who tampers with the entry process, violates these Official Rules, acts in a disruptive or unsportsmanlike manner, or attempts to undermine the legitimate operation of the sweepstakes. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, or technically corrupted entries or communications. Sponsor’s decisions on all matters relating to the sweepstakes are final and binding, subject to applicable law.

17. Release and Limitation of Liability

By participating, entrants agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to release and hold harmless Sponsor and its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, social media platforms, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the sweepstakes or receipt, use, or misuse of any prize, except for liability that cannot be waived under applicable law.

18. Disputes and Governing Law

Except where prohibited, entrants agree that all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with this sweepstakes or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to conflict of law principles, provided that nothing in these Official Rules limits any non-waivable rights under Massachusetts consumer protection law for Massachusetts residents.

19. Winner List
