No, it’s not just a catchy tagline with impossible fine print to follow.

It’s true: You can see an Olympic event for free.

In person.

Earlier today, Matador member Christine Gilbert announced on her website that John Britton is giving away three pairs of Olympics tickets to the people who impress him the most with a story of how they plan to pay his kind of generosity forward.

It’s imperative that you have flexibility: the tickets are for an equestrian event in Hong Kong that’s scheduled for August 9. If you fit the bill and you have a great idea about how you can spread generosity and kindness to someone else, visit John’s website and post your idea. Hurry, though; John will be selecting three winners on August 6!
