What you see above is something very special: footage from an actual Free Ticket+ Thursdays award presentation ceremony. Captured perfectly here is the exact moment the prize is handed over to the lucky winner, whose friends look on longingly in regret of not entering themselves. As you can see, we’ve spared no expense.

This could be you. All you have to do is visit us on Facebook and answer a simple question for a chance to win. If you still aren't convinced, this week’s prize is a Friends of BAM membership and tickets to see American Ballet Theatre’s presentation of The Nutcracker, which, strangely enough, features a scene exactly like this one. But pay no attention to that. Just concentrate on getting to Facebook and answering our question, lest you miss The Nutcracker and the mystery of what a sugar plum fairy really is stays forever unsolved.
