KIIS Ticket Giveaway in Riverside Yesterday

I'm just wondering why KIIS would do a ticket giveaway there. First of all, it's out of market and second wouldn't it be taking away potential listeners from KGGI?
 
Ticket giveaway to what? Could it have been sales-related? These days, stations will do a lot of things for an ad buy they wouldn't have in the past.

As suggested in the first reply, this has got to be sales related. I can tell you lots of client mandated promotional locations that are either out of the market or out of the signal coverage, or both.

At KHJ, I remember remots in Ventura, Fontana and even Moreno Valley! Client requests, of course .

Just the act of wondering why they are doing a ticket giveaway means people "hate us?" Wow.
My attitude is why not? who says that doing a giveaway out of area is odd?? A promotion is a promotion. Many people who live in Riverside might have to work in LA and listen to KIIS on the way. Meanwhile, just wondering why a station is going out of area doesn't imply that anyone thinks badly of your area. They could have said that same thing about San Diego...and would that mean they hate SD?? don't think so...
 
Sorry, but no hate was intended. I think the best sounding stations in LA are KIIS, KRTH and KLVE. It was most likely client mandated. I just thought it would make an interesting discussion. I appreciate all the responses.
 
Let's not forget the KROQ events at the Blockbuster (now Hyundai) Pavilion in Devore, out Cajon Pass way.

FWIW, ABC television and on a smaller scale, KLOS staged California Jam in 1974 & 1978 at Ontario Motor Speedway, in Inland Empire territory. I don't think that the local IE rocker, KCAL-FM, was given any tickets as a professional courtesy or to give away in contests. I don't think they had media access, either. And all this was happening virtually right under their noses.
