Sofa racing in Lisbon

Lisbon music fans raced sofas to win free VIP tickets to Portugal's prestigious Rock in Rio Lisboa Music Festival.

The Sofa Races were staged by telecommunications giant, Vodafone, which provided the specially adapted couches, equipped with wheels and brakes. All the competitors, both winners and losers, won tickets to Rock in Rio, together with the members of the cheerleader team voted the best at supporting their team. But only the winners of each of the five races were entitled to the coveted Vodafone Best Seat, a VIP area offering an uninterrupted view of the World stage.
