The TF Royal Castlebar has announced the winners of its 2025 Golden Ticket Competition, a prize worth over €10,000.

The winning  tickets grants two lucky winners VIP access to every live entertainment event at the TF Royal for the entire year.

Lisa Bourke from Castlebar won the online competition, and Marie Martin from Ballina, claimed victory in the Midwest Radio on-air competition.

Now, both winners will enjoy two VIP tickets to over 100 live events throughout 2025, featuring a mix of live music, comedy, theatre, musicals, family shows, podcasts, and sports talk events.

Lisa Bourke, a Castlebar native and a regular patron of the TF Royal, was stunned by her win:
"I never win anything; I’m over the moon to have won this. I love the TF—it’s such a brilliant facility to have in our town, and I can’t wait to experience all the incredible events coming this year."

Lisa is particularly excited to return for the 30+ Plus Club, as well as upcoming shows including Taylor Fever, Damien Dempsey, Deirdre O’Kane, Smokie, and Joanne McNally.

Meanwhile, in Ballina, Marie Martin’s win came as a complete surprise—her husband unknowingly entered her into the Midwest Radio competition! "I was speechless when Midwest called me—it was an absolute shock, and I’m delighted with the win."

Lisa and Marie will get to enjoy two VIP seats for every single live event at the TF Royal in 2025, with a lineup that includes music with Christy Moore and Garron Noone, comedy with Castlebar Cat Laughs and Jason Manford, as well as musicals, family shows, podcasts, and sports talk events.
