The online daily deal wars continue:

Your chance to win Lucinda Williams & Avett Brothers tickets: sign up for discount email deals from Asheville Phroogles 

Tickets to Lucinda Williams’ March 16 show at The Orange Peel are just one of the weekly prizes offered by Phroogles.com, the newest arrival in Asheville’s growing stable of online group buying sites.  Starting mid-February, the company will launch its membership drive with a contest awarding two tickets every week for a month. 

In addition to the weekly giveaways to see Williams at the Peel, upcoming promotions include tickets for the Avett Brothers in Charlotte, as well as dinner gift certificates, spa packages, more free concert tickets and passes to local entertainment events and activities.  

With operations in Asheville and Tennessee, Phroogles offers a local/regional alternative to national group buying sites, supplying the same level of discount while letting members support an independent business.

Anyone subscribing to Phroogles’ daily discount emails is automatically entered in the weekly prize drawings. Discount email deals coming soon to subscribers include half-off savings from local and independent WNC restaurants, health spas, beauty salons and entertainment venues.

Local business owners interested in having their business featured on Phroogles can contact Steve Heiselman at 828.216.4230, or at [email protected].

Anyone who wants a chance to win weekly tickets and prizes, plus get great daily deals, can sign up at www.phroogles.com/join/asheville.
