LA's Fastest Growing Burrito Joint, FREEBIRDS World Burrito, to Give Away Two 2012-13 Season Tickets to the Los Angeles Lakers

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles Lakers fans have the chance to win two back row seats to the Lakers' 2012-2013 season, courtesy of FREEBIRDS World Burrito, the fast growing burrito joint with the rock 'n' roll attitude. On March 15, FREEBIRDS will announce that one lucky winner has received two seats to every Lakers home game for this fall's NBA season.

"We're excited to team up with the Lakers for this extremely elusive prize," said FREEBIRDS President Jim Mizes. "Why the back row? We're not a big national chain with a huge budget, but we've got great fans just like the Lakers do. We know true fans would be ecstatic to attend every Lakers home game at STAPLES Center. And since it's the hottest ticket in LA, there really is no bad seat. Besides, nothing we do at FREEBIRDS is normal."

FREEBIRDS is known for its awesome burritos, burrito bowls, salads, nachos and more. Everything is made fresh with the guest's choice of over forty ingredients including grass fed beef, hormone free chicken, or slow roasted pork carnitas topped with hand chopped veggies, roasted corn salsa, house made guacamole and signature sauces. Be it the backwards F logo, rockin' interiors or made from scratch kitchen, the brand embraces its tagline, "It's Not Normal."
