Did you know some concerts don’t have a price tag? Especially in the warmer months, outdoor venues often feature free bands and shows that you can attend free of charge. This is a great way to enjoy live music without paying a penny.

Feeling lucky? You might just be able to win the tickets you desire! My husband wins thousands of dollars of event tickets a year — so much we have to pay taxes on it! Whether you tune in to your favorite station for radio contests, or follow local radio, TV stations and event menus on social media, contests are easy to find and oftentimes not very many people. This makes it easier to win with great odds!

When trying to win tickets, be sure to follow the concert rules, or you may be disqualified. Some radio stations only allow each individual or household one win during a certain time period such as every 30 days. My husband keeps track of when he is eligible to win on each station so he knows when he can start trying to win again.

Winning tickets, depending on the value may be taxable, especially if the value is over $600. Be prepared to provide your tax information or sign a tax form, especially if you win frequently.

Did you know that for many shows, promoters will give away tickets? For shows that may not be sold out, promoters will frequently give away tickets at radio station remotes and other event locations before the concert. This is an excellent way to get tickets to a show for no cost, for just the gas money to go pick them up!

When attending a giveaway to get tickets, be sure to show up early — like right when the event starts. Many of these giveaways have a limited quantity and you are more certain to get tickets if you are one of the first ones there.

Got time for a part-time job? Many event venues desperately need part-time employees to help take tickets, seat attendees and be security. While you will have to work, you’ll still get to see the show and get paid for doing it.

This doesn’t even need to be a regular gig. Large concerts will often hire temp labor to work a particular concert, and they often pay cash. Watch Craig’s List and local Facebook groups for your city for upcoming opportunities.

Does your employer sponsor local events? If so, they might have access to free sports and concert tickets. Check with human resources to see what is available. If they have tickets, but there is a limited quantity, there may be a lotto or wait list to sign up for.
