At each tour stop, fans can visit the Honda Hybrid Zone to snag the free Civic Tour Souvenir Pocket Guide (presented by Honda Financial Services). Packed with information on the tour, artists and prizes, this eco-friendly pocket souvenir includes instructions to enter for a chance to win a fly-away trip for two to the tour's final stop, including concert tickets and passes to meet Paramore. The contest begins July 23 at 10 a.m. EDT and ends August 28 at 2 p.m. EDT. Other amazing prizes, such as an autographed Masi Speciale fixed drop bicycle, will also be given away.
