There are three things that happen every year that my son counts down to. Christmas, his birthday and Monster Jam. We’ve been going to Monster Jam since The Boy was 2 1/2 – sometimes to both the Toronto show and the London show. Here was our first Monster Jam ever. Look at the face in that post. He was SO excited. And he loves it every, single time. (And he’s dressed as monster trucks for Hallowe’en, had monster truck birthday cakes, and on and on.)
Here are a few pictures from our 2011 Monster Jam outing at Rogers Centre. Ear protection is a must. I highly recommend getting these for the kids. Much easier to deal with than the little in-the-ear plugs.
And the little ones you can use for yourself. Don’t forget the grown ups need hearing protection, too! I usually buy a 10- or 20- pack and have spares for those around me – especially kids that don’t have ear protection.
Here are a couple more shots from our 2011 Toronto Monster Jam excursion. We also hit up London’s stop that year, too.
And his next birthday followed suit again. As an aside, Fudgee-Os make better dirt than Oreos. (Now you know.) And that’s a Sour Patch Kids audience.
And then we went to London and Toronto in 2012. Here’s a happy boy ready for the trucks to rock London.
In my experience, the Toronto show is a superior stop compared to London – simply for the size of the venues. The trucks can do a lot more at the Rogers Centre. Having said that, though, The Boy thoroughly enjoys Monster Jam wherever we are!
This year I’ve teamed up with Feld Entertainment again – which means I get to take my family to Monster Jam as their guests. The great news for you is I have a promo code and a giveaway for YOU.
First the code. Use MJKIDDO to get 5 tickets for $105. (Valid until Jan 18. Minimum of 5 tickets. Each thereafter is $21. Not valid on Front Row, Gold Circle or VIP. No double discounts. Additional fees may apply.)
Also, there’s a really cool pack with tickets and merchandise. This is a great deal, as you know the concessions and loot can require you taking out a second mortgage! http://www.ticketmaster.ca/promo/tn32k7
Now for the giveaway.
You can enter ONCE PER DAY. Contest closes at 11pm on Monday, January 14, 2013. One winner will be randomly drawn from all comment entries and contacted on Tuesday, January 15 by midnight. (For fun you can tell me what your monster truck name would be if you were the driver.)
The winner will receive a family four pack of tickets to Monster Jam at Rogers Centre, Toronto on Saturday, January 19 at 7pm (pit party is from 3-5pm).
You can also follow Monster Jam on twitter @monsterjam.
Congrats to Melanie A! The winner as chosen by random.org!
Thanks very much, Jacki! Can’t hardly wait for the kids to be done school so I can tell them!
Thanks so much for this contest, Jacki! DS just said today, “Did you know that Northern Nightmare is gonna be in Toronto? You should try to win tickets, Mom!” Alright, DS!
Our trucks would be the Roganator and The Enforcer.
My grandkids would love to see Nothern Nigthmare!
last day to enter! thanks Jacki!
I would be “Mom-ster Masher” 🙂
Thanks for the reminder Jacki,
oh I so wish we win, this would be such an awesome surprise for our kids.
My ex took my toddler last year, and he loved it. This year is my turn. We should meet up! Hmmmm…if I was a monster truck…my name would be “Car-on Crusher.” Lame…I know! 😉
What would it make me if I saw Monster Trucks and the Cdn Figure Skating Championships on the SAME WEEKEND?! Now THAT is intriguing!!! SK8TRGRL would be the obvious name choice, right?
Last entry! Thanks for the contest!
Geez, I’m not doing very good with everyday! lol Thanks for these chances! Still in pursuit of that right name for my truck…Today, Magnificent Mama!
I really was surprised how much my daughter enjoyed it!
I mentioned Monster Trucks today and my son got so excited he almost fell out of his chair!
What would it make me if I saw Les Mis one weekend and Monster Trucks the next weekend? Diverse? Intriguing? Quirky? I love quirky …
lets see if this entry gets us in 😀
It’s a little weird how much I want to see Monster Truck Jam.
Still haven’t come up with a name. The creative juices are not flowing!
My boys would love to go!
Sully would LOVE this so so much. We’ve been on the monster truck kick for sometime over here too!
I think my monster truck name would be something like “Kettlebell Hell” 😉
Thanks for the reminder! My kids would love to go!
Thanks! Hmmm…Mad Mama for my monster truck name?! lol
Such a cool looking event and have never been.. want to take The Boy!
My truck would be named: Canadian Bacon Maker
My son would really like this – he wants to see the new Batman truck.
My son is turning 10 in a few weeks … I fear the Monster Jam years are passing and yet we’ve never made it yet! MUST remedy! Truck name would be SABRES4 …. his team and number!
It’s a new day! 😀
my girls would love this!!
never been.. the boy would lose his mind!
Ooh! Ooh! These tickets would make a boy I know very happy!
I had never heard of Monster Jam but I think my 5 y/o would love it!
If we were to name our truck, as we’re in a big Star Wars period, we would name it Darth Vador, or maybe the Death Star!
I would be the Monster Bug!!
This is something that i enjoy because my family enjoys it so much
yay, Monster jam, we still haven’t managed to go but maybe we gut lucky this time.
I would love to take my boys. If we were to name our truck we would most likely call it “4Boyz” for my four little monsters!
Id love to take my ladies- they have never been !
Hooray! Monster Jam time! Never had seen The Boy’s cake before (not that one)and it was totally cool! My Boy would love it! Thanks!
My kids loved it last year!
Pick me pick me pick me 🙂
