Call local radio stations to see if they're holding any contests... A few groups get free concert tickets:1. Those who win promotions(such as contests held by magazines, newspapers, radio stations, etc.). Call, write and/or email these organizations to see if they're giving away tickets. Then once you find out a promotion is being held, enlist all of your friends and family to help you win the tickets.(For example, if tickets are being given to the 100th caller, you stand a better chance of winning if you have 10 people on 10 phone hitting redial repeatedly...just make sure they're willing to give you the tickets--or take you with them--if they win!)2. Find out who is sponsoring his tour, then see if they're holding any contests, or see whether you know anyone who works for the sponsoring company. Sponsors often have more tickets than they ultimately use. Let's say Coca-Cola is sponsoring his tour, and your aunt works for Coke. Ask her if she has any way to get you a free seat.3. Look for tickets on Craigslist.com, eBay.com and Stubhub.com. If demand for tickets is low, many sellers will be willing to negotiate. Offer them a low price, and see what they say.(The worst they can say is no.) But be reasonable...offering $1 for a $60 ticket is an insult. But $20 might not be(particularly if their choice is take $20 or take nothing if the tickets go unsold). Also, at the last minute, ticket brokers might be willing to sell tickets for below face value. Finally, if there are scalpers outside the concert venue, the price of tickets will probably drop as the concert start time gets closer(and will be even less about 5 or 10 minutes after the concert starts).Good luck!
