Picture for illustration purposes only. Actual tickets are for today's game.

King of the RFT retail reps and all-around nice guy Mike Lipel just dropped two tickets in my cubicle for today's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. That game starts at 12:45 p.m. today -- short notice indeed.

You can win those tickets. You must be able to pick 'em up at the RFT offices today, obviously. Leave a working email address in your comment so I can contact you as you answer this criminally easy trivia question. First correct answer wins.

What was the score of last night's Cardinals-Pirates game?

These tickets could be yours.

If you're a fan of bases-ball -- am I saying that correctly? -- perhaps you'd be interested in attending tomorrow night's game against the Cincinnati Reds. I have two tickets in section 137 that can be yours, if you can answer a baseball trivia question.

But first, the rules of our little contest.
1. You must leave a valid email address that you frequently check or a phone number where you can be reached with your comment.
2. You must be able to pick up your tickets at the RFT office before 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 17.
3. You must not be an RFT employee or family member of an RFT employee.

​Updated 2 p.m. Winners announced in comment section.

We have two sets of tickets to Arch Madness on Friday night for the 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. games. They're good seats, too, inside the club section with access to the Bud Light Zone for free appetizers, soda and discounted adult beverages.

But here's the catch: To win a pair you must correctly answer the following question.

What team in the Missouri Valley Conference has gotten into trouble in recent years for their fans using crude hand gestures during games and what was that hand gesture? Hint: The gesture is school-related, sort of.

2. You must be able to pick up the tickets at the RFT offices.
3. You must not be Jeff Dunham. Or a puppet, come to think of it.

Jeff Dunham wants you to come have a good time at his show.

​I have one pair of tickets to give away to comic puppetmaster Jeff Dunham's show at the Family Arena on Wednesday, February 29. "Jeff Dunham: Controlled Chaos" features all of his most popular puppets as well as two new characters: Achmed Junior, son of Achmed the Dead Terrorist, and Little Jeff, a puppetized version of Dunham.

So how do you win these tickets? Easy. First, the ground rules.
1. YOU MUST LEAVE SOME SORT OF CONTACT INFO WITH YOUR COMMENT. Either a working, frequently-checked email address, a Twitter handle or an actual phone number are the ideal means of contact.
2. You must be able to pick up the tickets at the RFT offices.
3. You must not be Jeff Dunham. Or a puppet, come to think of it.

OK, that's it. For the tickets, tell me, "Who makes Dunham's custom puppets?" First correct answer wins it, and we'll go by order of comment in the event of simultaneous log-in.
