Unless you were one of the very lucky few who managed to bag tickets to the free City Hall gig on 6 November,  featuring Snow Patrol and Jason Derulo, you will still be dying to get your hands on tickets to the main event- the MTV EMAs at the Odyssey.

In the run-up to the 2011 EMAs on 6 November, the guys and gals at the new Swatch Event Showroom, Victoria Square will be hosting some amazing EMA related competitions- and right now, they are offering everyone over the age of 18 two ways to win tickets to this in-demand, once-in-a-lifetime event.  One way is pretty simple- but the other is a whole-lotta-fun!!

For those of you with a smart-phone, all you have to do is visit the Event Showroom at Victoria Square, download and ‘Check-In’ with Foursquare on your phone which will allow you to enter a sweepstake by filling an online form.  Two winning tickets will be allocated every second day to a participant.  This will run until Friday, 4 November.

The second- and definitely more fun- way to win tickets is by visiting the Swatch Showroom and recording a short video of you Snap Dancing!  It sounds embarrassing but us Sugahfix gals went down to the Snap Dance Booth to have a go and we enjoyed it so much that we ended up doing two routines!  We even attempted to choreograph ourselves and everything- hilarious!!  Check out Ulster rugby's Ryan Constable rocking out in the Dance Booth, and the gorgeous Holly Sweeney and "Mr Showbiz" Paul Martin showing off their moves in the top pic! 

The Snap Dance Booth requires no dancing skills so have no fear- you can literally bop your head up and down and swing you arms around- and then let the editing tool on the screen do all the hard work- you'll look like a professional in no time!

Tickets will be allocated in the same way as the ‘Check-in’ tickets- and this competition also ends on Friday, 4 November.

Winners' names from both competitions will be published on swatch.com and they will all be contacted by Swatch, re-verifying that they are 18 years old or over.
