Hospitality Industry Tickets Giveaway

Our community faced challenging times recently as a result of the unprecedented storms, and the impact has been especially hard on the hospitality workers that welcome visitors and locals alike to our hotels, restaurants and attractions.

To express our gratitude to our hospitality heroes, Visit St. Pete-Clearwater partnered with the St. Pete Pier to provide 50 pairs of tickets to hospitality workers to the first performance of the Rise Up Concert Series at St. Pete Pier on Oct. 31, "indie groove" rock band, Goose

Known for their exuberant grooves and incendiary bursts of musical exploration, Goose released their debut album in 2016. They quickly took flight, playing countless shows while steadily amassing a fervent fan following for their unique brand of irresistible songcraft, fluid musicianship and spirited improvisational performance.

Please nominate members of your team that you would like to see rewarded with tickets to see Goose by completing the online form here. Winners will be randomly selected.
