We are excited to announce a special opportunity and want our users, as part of The Sacramento Press community, to be the first to take advantage.

How would you like to save 51-90 percent on Sacramento's top restaurants, salons and businesses every day? Well, now you can! We introduce to you: Deal Ticket.

It’s really easy to sign up and start saving. Every day, we feature a fantastic deal from a local business. That deal is featured for one day only. You click to buy the deal and save money by doing so. All you have to do is sign up for the daily Deal Ticket e-mail so you don’t miss out on deals you’ll love.

To give you an idea of what's in store, we have great deals at Tuli Bistro (60 percent off), Evan's Kitchen (58 percent off), Article (67 percent off) and the L Wine Lounge (55 percent off) - all lined up for just the first week! To get started on the savings, just visit the Deal Ticket website and enter your e-mail.

Plus, it gets even better. Starting this week, we're giving you multiple chances to win tons of prizes (including an Apple iPad) just for spreading the word about Deal Ticket. See the complete rules and details below.

If you sign up to receive daily Deal Ticket e-mails, you will have another chance to win big in a whole new sweepstakes starting next week. Keep an eye out for details here next week or, if you are a Sacramento Press user, you will get an e-mail with complete details.

Thank you for your continued support of not only us, but Sacramento's local businesses.
