Part 1: Tips on how to win tickets to wicked, win concert tickets and other events.
I was very lucky that in 2011 I won tickets to WICKED. I wanted to share some tips on how to increase your chances of winning tickets to WICKED and other events. A good amount of the prizes I have won have come from online radio and TV contests.
I would first recommend making a list of all the radio stations on your FM dial. You will find the easy listening stations, hip-hop stations, classical, top forty stations, and other speaking language stations. Even if you are not a fan of that genre, I would still check out their websites and head to their contest page to see what type of contests and prizes they have.
They will have contests to win concert tickets, win movie tickets, win a car, win cash, win prizes to local events, and win prizes from their sponsors. The main thing is not the music played on the stations, but the type of contests they run; so I would suggest becoming members of as many as you like.
The same applies for your local TV stations. Check out the websites for your local news affiliates and most will have a contest page. If they have a membership, sign up. Your local newspapers are also a great source of contests. Check out their websites and if they have membership, sign up. I encourage signing up only to make entering the contests later on easier. You just use your login and password and you’re good to go.
If you are a sporting fan, switch over to the AM dial and make a list of your local sports stations. They run contests to win sporting event tickets. You can win basketball tickets, win baseball tickets and tickets for other sporting events.
I would recommend creating a second email account just for the purpose of entering contests. If you don’t mind receiving all those newsletters to you inbox, then don’t bother with a second email address. You can always go into each website’s user account and select how often and what types of emails you want to receive. They usually have a newsletter that is just for promotions and contests. You can opt just to receive that.
Stay tuned for part 2.
