Tip: How to win concert tickets

Last year was my most auspicious one when it came to winning concert tickets. 
I won 25 pairs of tickets from various websites, blogs, and venues. The first few wins people were like "wow, you are so lucky." By the 10th win many people were like "how the hell are you doing this? What is your secret?" 

My response to them was there is no secret, just look for the contests and enter them. 

Some of my wins were pure luck (drawings) and some I looked for them and stayed on top of contests. So maybe there is a little more to it than that and I will share some of these tips with you here. 
 
Venues allot a certain number of tickets for promotion. 
They give these tickets away to other places to help promote the event. 

Knowing this why wouldn't you want to enter these contests and giveaways?  


First tip: Use your social media!
Start  Facebook and Twitter  accounts if you don't have either. If you have one but not the other, I  recommend you have both since it can increase your chances of winning. Most people's response is I don't get Twitter and don't need it. You can only use it for the sole purpose of winning tickets. It's not going to hurt you to have it open in any way.


Second Tip: Follow wisely! (sounds like an oxymoron, but this is when following really works) 
Now that you have your social media accounts use them wisely. Follow venues, concert promoters, music blogs, artists you like, radio stations and other sites or pages you know will give away tickets or have contests. 


Third tip: Follow the instructions!
Many people enter contests without paying attention to the details of what the giveaway or contest states. Make sure to pay attention and follow through. Pay attention to contest guidelines and deadlines.

Fourth Tip: Search for contests & giveaways 
This is very simple, the contests and giveaways are out there so look for them!


Yes, this can take some time but if the rewards are worth it then you shouldn't mind the work. 
I didn't go into crazy details about some of these tips because a true magician never reveals all of his tricks. I do hope this helps you out. 

Good Luck!
