DEEP PURPLE's official website has issued the following update:

"Attention all fans! E-mail your favorite personal Deep Purple story to contests@deeppurple.org and you could win a VIP Fan Experience! If selected, you and a friend will receive VIP Fan Experience Packages for the upcoming European tour dates. While only one person will win, we will be featuring our favorite runner-up entries on the site as well.

To enter the contest, you must already have tickets for one of the scheduled shows as this contest is to win VIP packages only. If selected you will be winning the top level VIP package available at the show for which you are a ticket holder (click here for package level information). To secure your VIP packages while they are still available, visit the Tour page and click on the date you’re attending for purchasing info. We can’t wait to hear your Deep Purple stories! Send us your entries before 11:59 p.m. on October 25, 2007, to be entered into the contest."
