You know the one.

They built something. They hired people. They took the risk. And somewhere along the way, owning the business became being the business: the one who answers every question, holds every standard, and hasn't had a proper night off since the early days.

lifestack is the title sponsor of MK Lightning, and on selected home games this season we have six seats that aren't ours to use. They're theirs. Three pairs, given to local business owners who've earned a night in a loud room where the only decision waiting for them is whether to get another drink.

If that owner is you, nominate yourself. Just nominate someone else at the same time.

How it works

  1. Nominate them.

    Their name, their business, and why they've earned it. A sentence will do; a story is better.

  2. We choose.

    Each week lifestack's founders read every nomination and pick three pairs for the next game. We choose for fit and for the story: people who lead a business and carry its results, and who need the night more than they'd admit.

  3. They claim.

    Winners hear from us a week before the game, privately, with a claim link that lasts 48 hours. To claim, they confirm they're coming, give us a name and an email for the e-tickets, follow lifestack on at least one channel, and join the newsletter. That's the price of the night. Unclaimed after 48 hours, the tickets go to the next pair, or to someone we think has earned it.

  4. They go.

    E-tickets in their name. One win per person per season; there are a lot of owners in Milton Keynes. Season ticket holders and current MKL corporate sponsors can nominate, but can't win.

What happens next

E-tickets land in their inbox.

Steven, one of lifestack's founders, will probably say hello at some point. He's there most games. If they're happy for us to, we'll share their name on social and take a photo at the game. They choose; both are separate ticks when they claim.

No sales pitch. No sales call. Ice hockey, good company, and an evening where their phone only comes out for a selfie.
Afterwards, they'll hear from us once.

To ask how it was, and to invite them to The Business Club, our monthly networking meet-up at Planet Ice, Milton Keynes. Then it's the newsletter they agreed to, unsubscribe whenever.

Used once, to tell them if they've won. Nothing else.

You
We read every one. You'll get one email to confirm your nomination; nominations that aren't confirmed don't count. Multiple nominations don't improve the odds. A good story does.

The small print

The Owner's Night Off is run by lifestack on selected MK Lightning regular-season home games. Anyone can nominate; nominations must be confirmed by email to count, and multiple nominations don't affect selection. Winners must be 18 or over; guests may be younger. MK Lightning season ticket holders and current MK Lightning corporate sponsors are not eligible to win. Winners are chosen by lifestack's founders on fit and the nomination, and the decision is final. One win per person per season. Winners are contacted privately a week before the game and have 48 hours to claim by confirming attendance, confirming eligibility, providing a name and email for e-tickets, following lifestack on at least one channel, and joining the lifestack newsletter (unsubscribe at any time); unclaimed tickets are released and reissued at lifestack's discretion. Permission to announce a winner's name and to use a photo taken at the game is asked for separately at the claim and is optional. Tickets are issued in the winner's name, can't be resold or transferred, have no monetary value, and there's no cash alternative; photo ID may be requested at the door. Nominee details are used only to contact them about this promotion and are deleted at the end of the season unless they join the newsletter. lifestack accepts no liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.
