DALLAS — Lightovation at Dallas Market Center announced the first winner of its exclusive VIP World Cup Hospitality Experience. This incentive program is open Lightovation attendees who secure June market hotel accommodations through Dallas Market Center’s official housing partner before March 1.
The first VIP package winner, Candace Breaux, Showroom Consultant at Coburn’s Kitchen & Bath Showroom in Houma, La., was selected during the first drawing from qualified attendees. The prize includes a VIP Hospitality Experience at the Saturday, June 27 World Cup group-stage match between Argentina and Jordan at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“Booking early is the best way for attendees to lock in great hotel rates and a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Cindy Morris, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “With World Cup events taking place in North Texas this summer, hotel availability is changing quickly and our official housing partner, Connections Housing, is the only way to access contracted rates and qualify for exclusive incentives.”
There are still two more chances for qualified June 2026 Lightovation attendees to win pairs of tickets to the VIP Hospitality Experience at the June 27 World Cup match. Qualified attendees who book June 2026 accommodations in official Lightovation show hotel blocks by March 1, 2026, will be eligible for this opportunity, including those who have already secured their reservations.
The VIP World Cup Hospitality Experience includes elevated sideline seating, premium food and beverages, pre- and post-match entertainment, special guest appearances, and commemorative gifts. Qualified Lightovation attendees must book through Dallas Market Center’s official hotel blocks, attend Lightovation June 24–27, 2026, and meet all eligibility requirements outlined in the promotion’s terms and conditions.
All official Lightovation hotels require a one-night, non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. Availability is limited and once contracted blocks are filled, these rates may not be available. Attendees are encouraged to book early through Connections Housing to secure the best rates, ensure convenient accommodations, and remain eligible for remaining prize drawings at https://book.passkey.com/event/51023095/owner/14227/home.
