However, the fine people at The Agency Group have given us the opportunity to send four of our loyal readers to the show for free, and one of them could be you! All you have to do is follow the directions on the widget below to enter. We’ll announce the winners when the contest ends Wednesday 1/23/13 at 5PM. Remember, this is for 1 pair of tickets each – and we have 2 pairs to give away.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll see on Friday night–the video for Tegan And Sara’s first single from their new album, Heartthrob. The song’s called “Closer,” and the video features a karaoke session that quickly turns into an exuberant slumber party… or something like that. Check it out!
