Jimmy Buffett Concert Tickets Are Tickets To Paradise!

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 13-02-2009

Every Parrothead (that’s what Jimmy’s fans are known as!) knows that Jimmy Buffett concert tickets are actually tickets to a tropical fantasy! It’s got congas, steel drums, lyrics that spell ecstasy, and of course, Jimmy him self!

One of the specialties of Buffett’s songs are they are partly based on truths and feature ingenious titles like “If The Phone Doesn’t Ring, It’s Me”! One of the examples of his truth based songs is “Fins.” Buffett created it while observing a group of guys trying to select a bikini contest winner!
Songs All The Way

Some of the sensational songs that have made the fans desperate for Jimmy Buffet concert tickets are:
Margaritaville
Cheesburger in Paradise
It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere (it’s a duet with Alan Jackson)
Let’s Get Drunk and Screw
Fruitcakes
Boat Drinks
Volcano
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

The concerts of Jimmy Buffett are like a whimsical holiday in Havana. The fun is marked with “Money Back Guarantee.” The venue turns into a land of Parrotheads and margaritas, of people who are coming to terms with what’s happening (they are the new Parrotheads!), and of those who want to drench themselves with the gushing bliss and forget everything else!

And mind you, Parrotheads come fully prepared to Jimmy Buffett concert. They dress in grass skirts, Hawaiian shirts, and straw hats. There are blenders that churn cocktails in gallons. Some of them are powered by electric generators. Rum, Tequila, and other kinds of drinks do the rounds. So, which one is your taste? Pick a drink, dance a jig, get drunk, and keep smiling – you’re on top of the world – you’re with Jimmy Buffett!

This is the uniqueness of Jimmy Buffett concerts. Unlike other concerts, the entertainer remains at the backdrop and it’s the audience that dominates the show. It’s the pre-party, where Parrotheads in Hawaiin outfits mingle with each other and turn the event into a social gathering. This is the tailgate party that happens a few hours before Buffett steals the show.

Well, this is one artist who lets the audience take over before he bowls over everyone with his irresistible charm! Who would have ever imagined that a concert could be converted into a tropical party? But one man did imagine it some 30 years back. He decided to pen down songs that talked about days in Margaritaville, about having boat drinks sitting at the deck of a ship sailing in water, and of living a life as if you’re the king of paradise. That man is Jimmy Buffett.

Jimmy Buffett concert tickets are not just for the young people. It’s for everyone, right from your kid sister to your grandpa! Age is no bar at Buffett concerts. The only thing you need to have is a zest for life!

So, bring along your smile, your attitude, some style, and your enthusiasm. And, please leave behind all fears and inhibitions. This is Jimmy Buffett concert. It’s an escape to paradise.

The Downlow On Buying And Selling Concert Tickets Online

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 09-02-2009

0

Buying concert tickets online isn’t scary. In fact, it’s as easy as visiting Google and typing in the event you are looking for and follow with the word “tickets”. However, a couple of questions may come to mind when browsing for sports or concert tickets.

1. Why are tickets so expensive on the internet? On Ticketmaster the tickets are so much cheaper. Why should I pay twice as much for tickets?
2. Does the ticket broker website I am visiting really have this many tickets in their inventory?
3. How do I know the website I am visiting is offering the lowest prices on these tickets?

First, concert tickets are more expensive because you are not buying them off of the primary market but the secondary market. Brokers are buying the tickets before the fans can get them and selling them on the secondary market. The brokers make their money off of the arbitrage.

If you want decent seats to a hot event you are pretty much going to have to buy tickets through a broker. eBay has a decent inventory of tickets. Also, sites like http://www.ticketspot.com hundreds of thousands of tickets in their inventory which you can browse and purchase. Second, ticket broker websites don’t have the concert ticket inventory on hand that they are displaying on their website. Rather, they are displaying inventory from a central database of brokers which reads out on many brokerage websites. The websites mark up the tickets accordingly while acting as a “retailer” for the tickets.

Finally, the vast majority of the concert ticket brokerage websites have the exact same inventory. Because of this, the only decision you need to make is choosing which one to buy from. I recommend shopping around a couple of the websites to see what kind of markup they have on the tickets. Keep in mind, you are looking at the exact same pair of tickets, but the markup of the different websites is going to be different.

Concerts – Concert For George

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 07-02-2009

In this article we’re going to briefly review one of the most touching concerts that was ever held for another person, The Concert For George.

There are very few people in history who you can mention their first name, say the word concert and know exactly who that concert was for. The Concert For George was one of those concerts. George of course being the late George Harrison of the Beatles.

George Harrison died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001. One year later the memorial concert for this great musician was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It is only fitting that this was the place as Harrison was 100% English from the top of his head to the tips of his magical guitar fingers. Many feel he was the overlooked Beatle. Everything was about John and Paul. But most critics feel that George Harrison was the heart and soul of the Beatle’s guitar sound which has since be copied by so many artists.

The idea for the concert was George’s good friend Eric Clapton’s. Clapton and Harrison had actually been friends for a long time and first played together on the White Album. The song, of course, was “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Clapton put together a memorial that Harrison himself would have smiled at.

The concert began with the daughter of one of Harrison’s great friends, Ravi Shankar, singing “Your Eyes.” After this song the daughter, who’s name is Anoushka, teamed with another one of Harrison’s friends, Jeff Lynne of ELO fame, to sing “The Inner Light” which was one of George Harrison’s own tunes.

The concert itself was a mixture of music and comedy, which is very unusual for a concert. The comedy was handled mostly by the ensemble of Monty Python who, along with Tom Hanks, performed “Sit On My Face” and “The Lumberjack Song” which was one of Monty Python’s funniest and most famous tunes.

The rest of the concert featured more of George’s friends and the remaining members of the Beatles, Paul and Ringo. Also there were Tom Petty, Billy Preston, and Gary Brooker from Procal Harem. George’s son Dhani was also on hand. If you watch the video of the concert you would swear that Dhani was George Harrison if you didn’t know better.

The remainder of the concert featured mostly songs that were either done by The Beatles or songs that George had done solo or with other performers such as when he was with Tom Petty during his stint with The Traveling Willburys.

The songs are a who’s who of some of the greatest tunes these people ever did together or separately. They included such classics as George’s signature song “Something,” the Beatles’ like “Isn’t It A Pity,” “Here Comes The Sun,” a Ringo tune that George played on, “Photograph,” “All Things Must Pass,” “My Sweet Lord,” and finishing with “I’ll See You In My Dreams,” which was an appropriate ending for the concert.

George Harrison may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

I just got 2 Oasis tickets for the Echo arena next month using this tactic. And yes! they are SOLD OUT!

Step 1

Check Ticketmaster every morning for the tickets. In rare instances, they release more tickets or ones that were being held and not been claimed. Also if you have a large party, you may try splitting up the group to have a better chance at buying tickets.

Step 2

Go to a third-party ticket selling site. Be sure to use a reputable site such as StubHub.com or TicketsNow

They will cost a little bit more but if it is an Event you really want to see, it may be worth buying tickets from them.

TicketsNow.com lists the world’s largest online inventory of secondary market tickets,nearly 6 times more than eBay. In fact, 9 out of 10 professional companies in North America that sell tickets online list their tickets at TicketsNow.com

You will find buying tickets for virtually every major sporting event and concert on their site easy. If you can’t find the tickets you want, call them! The’re always happy to help you locate great seats to any event, anywhere.

Step 3

If you do not like your options from third-party ticket companies, you can try eBay. Search in specific terms like “Oasis Echo Arena.” Only buy tickets from Power Sellers who have 99-100% Positive Feedback. This information is located in the top right corner of an eBay profile.

Step 4

When buying tickets, make sure it is from a Secure Site or using PayPal so if there are any issues, you are covered.

Tips for not paying over the odds!

Check what the regular price was previously before buying tickets from a third-party.

Check several third-party sites before committing to buying tickets to make sure you get the best price.

Jonas Brothers Concert, Movie, TV and Pop Music Stars of 2008

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 06-02-2009

The Jonas Brothers are the latest hot ticket teen sensation to roll off the Disney mass-marketing machine. This band is not your run of the mill bubble gum pop band. Jonas is unique in that they band consist of three New Jersey brothers, Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas all of whom actually do play their own instruments. The band has released two albums and is set to release their third in the summer of 2008.

The Jonas Brothers have a large and loyal female teen fan base having guested on the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana television show. The band was also the opening act for Hannah’s Best of Both World’s US concert tour and also appeared in Disney’s Hannah Montana 3-D concert tour movie.

The Jonas Brothers were scheduled to begin filming their own Disney channel TV series J.O.N.A.S. where the brothers play part-time spies who have ordinary identities by day. The Hollywood writer’s strike caused the filming to be postponed.

With that postponement, the Jonas Brothers were able to schedule a Look Me in the Eyes concert tour for the spring of 2008. The brothers will be playing in concerts in smaller theatres all across the US. If you are a fan of the brothers, it would be a good idea to see the band now on this tour before concert ticket prices skyrocket for when they tour again in the fall.

The Jonas Brothers will also appear in the film Camp Rock, which is said to be another High School Musical, so the band will sure to be selling out concert venues for years to come.

How To Promote A Concert: A Few Tips

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 05-02-2009

0

Please accept the information below as a guide offering suggestions for publicizing a concert and encourage maximum attendance
and success!

Some of the recommendations may not be appropriate for your type of concert. While some of the concepts may be obvious,
others may be new but worthy of a try.

I will cover the aspects of flyer/poster concert promotion and a few tips for media promotion..

Firstly, the single most importand thing when you want to promote a concert is to start delegating duties and make sure helpers know
what’s expected of them.

So let’s start!

[Flyers and Posters] It’s importand to have a well designed, eye-catching flyer or poster. It will show people that the concert deserves their anticipation,
time and money.

The artist’s management may provide you with some flyers or posters to start with.

If you prefer to create your own flyer or poster, you should find a graphics professional or pronting company willing to donate
services in exchange for advertising..

If it’s the first time the artist is coming to your town or city be sure to include a testimonial on the flyer or poster. A flyer that simple
advertises an artist or a band will mean nothing to someone who has never heard of them!

Assign volunteers to post the flyers in places likely to attract the most attention. Try grocery stores, local chamber of Commerce
offices, Art Councils or other communities, malls, shoping plazas, music stores, book stores, galleries and other popular gathering
spots where flyers are displayed routinely but be sure to ask for permission before posting.

Do not forget to post the flyers or posters to the concert location itself! Try to hang posters as close to the average eye level as possible..

[Media and other sources of publicity] List the concert in community calendars, Newspaper, Magazines or radio and TV stations if possible. Radio and Tv stations may be
willing to anounce events for free.

Be sure to notice them many weeks in advance. In the listing include the date of the concert, time, location, ticket price, ticket outlets,
sponsors of course and phone numbers for information.

Ask promotional material from the artist’s managementslike interviews, video clips, song samples, photographs etc. Try to deliver the
material to the media along with the news release anouncing the concert.

Make sure you follow up by phone. Ask from the management to arrange an interview with the artist(s) if possible. Discuss other
possibilities.

Provide artist’s promo material (if available) to radio stations likely to air it. Encourage them to play it often especially a week or two
before the concert. Have volunteers and friends telephone the stations and request more..!

If you are using an answering machine make a recording using sound clips from the artist. Advertise the phone numbers available to call
in newspapaer or on the radio. Include a short message in the recordings detailing concert info.

When you are online, subscribe to any music-related newsgroups or bulletin boards. Post messages about your anticipation, plans and
later, show specific information! Of course if you own a website, consider creating a special area to advertise the concert with a hot-link
to the artist’s home page (if any).

Ask from the media to co-sponsor (sharing in work or revenues) or to endorse the concert for publicity purposes. If they say ‘YES’
then make sure you include a ‘..co-sponsored by..’ message in the flyers and other promotional material..

Performing Live in Concert

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 03-02-2009

Do you have what it takes to perform live in concert? It is simple really: you need to have the knowledge, as well as talent and equipment. Generally, bands gather by their interest in music as well as performing. A few issues will deserve your attention, before you can get the attention you deserve. Here you will find a few ideas and helpful advice while performing as a band.

You will require the talent for singing or playing an instrument. However, there are productive band members who only sing or only play an instrument. The characters in your band will depend on the people included in the band. Once you have the band staffed you will need a few more items, such as a microphones and microphone stands, cables, speakers, monitors, an assortment of jacks, you power mixer and guitar stands as well as any other instrument or prop you band may personally require for live performance. Keep in mind, however, that one essential aspect of successfully performing live in concert is the need for practice, since we all know that practice makes perfect.

Practice and determination for creating and performing your music in concert are only part of successful live band performance. One of the most important characteristics of a live band is knowledge of how to work the crowd. If it comes natural to you, then just go with the flow. However, if it makes you a little nervous to interact with the audience, you will need to learn how to do so. It is easy really, but first you have to relax within your own self. Think of the audience as hundreds of your very best friends gathered in one place, only you and your band have the microphones.

If performing comes natural to you, this is great, just work up some witty introductions, comments and banter to work into your live performance. You must get the audience involved and enjoying their time with you. If you are a bit more shy or nervous, sit down and write up creative and witty conversation to share with your fans. Then practice this commentary on your friends and family, however, you do not want to sound too rehearsed as you want your comments to feel fresh to those you are entertaining. You just want to create an air of fun and enjoyment for you and your audience.

Ideas for entertaining your live audience

- Let the whole band in on entertaining your live audience, bantering back and forth while cheerfully having a good time. However, stay away from any true personal comments.

Promoting your concerts will take time and you will need help, therefore when working with a band, delegate different duties to different members when promoting your band. Some ways to promote your band would be the use of several ideas below.

Remember, to be truly successful, you must get out there and let the public know your performing live in concert. Once you have your equipment and a set of songs to sing, you will need to promote your band. You will require a public location such as county fairs, school dances, restaurants, churches, a skating rink or perhaps a nightclub that features the type of music you play.

Any location that features an open mic night are generally a good bet. The point is to get out there and let the public know that you are available. Once you have begun your bands performance, it will not be long before you have adoring fans, waiting on batted breath to hear your newest release. Then like the pink battery bunny, you just keep going, and going and going. Keep up the good work, practice and remember to smile. Love your audience and they will love you in return!

Buying Hard-to-Find Concert, Sport, Theater, Season and Event Tickets

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 02-02-2009

0

If you enjoy attending big events in sports, music, theater, or other major events, you probably realize how difficult securing your tickets can be, especially at the last minute. Popular events will often be “sold out” before everyone who wants to attend can grab their tickets. Then, those who don’t get a ticket must scramble at the last minute to try and find tickets through other sources. If you find yourself in a bind like this, using online resources can sometimes help you secure last minute or sold-out concert, sport, theater, season and event tickets. But there are a few things to be aware of when buying sold-out or hard-to-find tickets. Use the pointers below to save time and money while protecting yourself from ticket scams. Check for Online Security when Ordering You can take a look around a ticket website and its ordering section to be sure the ordering process is secure. The order page itself should be a secure page if you are to enter your credit card information directly into a form. The page is usually secure if the Web address begins with “https://”. The “s” means it is secure. If the ticket company is using a third party ordering service, be sure it’s a company that is well known and trustworthy. Contact Information Check to be sure you can contact the ticket company by phone when you need them. If the website does not offer a good “contact us” system, beware of them. You could get stuck with the bill and no tickets. If you order football tickets or baseball tickets, for instance, and the game is rained out or cancelled for some reason, you should be able to contact the ticket company to find out what your next step should be. Check for Reputation You can contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or visit the BBB Online to check out a company if you’re not sure if you can trust them. Here you can find out if there have been any recent complaints about the company, how long the company has been in business, and so forth. Beware of Hidden Fees Before placing an order for concert tickets, football tickets, theater tickets such as “Wicked” tickets, or any other event tickets, make sure there are no hidden charges. The hidden charges often come camouflaged as “service charges” or something similar. Shipping charges are fine as long as they are reasonable. The average rush shipment could cost you an amount from $15 to $25 in the U.S. and up to $35 internationally. Look for the “Buyer Guarantee” When you buy tickets, you should have the assurance that if for some reason, the event is cancelled or the ticket purchase falls through, you can have your money back. The ticket company should state up front what their policy is and if they offer a customer guarantee when things go wrong. If they don’t state this anywhere, seek out a ticket company that does cater to the customer’s needs. If you really want to attend an event, it’s wise to buy tickets early. There’s never a guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets at the last minute. But when and if the time comes that you need to buy tickets at the last minute, use the guide above to keep your personal information and money safe. Whether you are buying concert, sport, theater, season or event tickets, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can get last minute or sold-out tickets when you need them.

Nightclub & Concert Photography – How to Do It

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 01-02-2009

Nightclub Photography

All of the World’s best nightclubs and lounges have one thing in common. They all hire top-notch nightclub photographers to document what goes on at their venues. Nightclub photography is the ultimate form of marketing for a venue or nightclub promoter. Flyers can only tell potential customers so much about an event. But if these same customers can see vivid, high-end photos of a packed club filled with beautiful happy party people, potential customers have a much easier time deciding where to go..

People Are Vain

On top of the basic advertising benefit, nightclubs with a “Paparazzi” type atmosphere attract a lot of attention. If a club can make it’s customers feel like rockstars and models, even if they aren’t, they’ll be bringing in rockstar type bar sales too. It feeds into that “VIP” atmosphere. This is a huge incentive for nightclubs & lounges to hire competent nightlife photographers. There is a growing demand for photographers who have skill capturing nightlife events. It’s a great job opportunity for photographers looking to make some extra income on nights and weekends.

Concert Photography

When big name bands or hip hop acts come into town, guess who gets a front row seat every time? Concert photographers do. Magazines, Record Labels, and PR firms always need great shots of bands during concerts. The challenges of low-light concert photography are not always covered in photo classes or books. It’s a form of photography whose techniques can sometimes be wrapped in mystery.

TIPS FOR NIGHTCLUB & CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY

* Use camera lenses that excel in capturing low light, with an aperture of f2.8 or bigger.
* Use longer shutter speeds, from 1/60 a second up to 1.0 second. This captures the ambient lighting.
* Use a flash if allowed. Try setting the flash to “2nd Curtain Sync” mode to freeze action better.
* If you can’t use a flash, set higher ISO settings and reduce noise in post processing
* Take shots of couples, the whole crowd, the ambient lighting of the venue, and performers.
* Use many different angles. This keeps the photo gallery action/excitement level high.
* Take photos of the hottest people at the club. Regular people are attracted to beautiful people. Sad but true.
* Add some contrast and sharpening in post processing to make photos pop.

Once you have a good solid portfolio of work, start shopping yourself around to nightclubs, bands, record labels, magazines, newspapers, etc. It’s easier to get press pass credentials and get the best seats in the house if you’re working for a big company.

It’s also beneficial to start a photography blog if you don’t already have one. Use this to showcase your best work and write reviews about each party & concert you work at. This will help drive search traffic to your nightlife photography blog, which can result in more people seeing your work and more chances to get hired for events.

How To Get Concert Tickets You Know Are Going To Sell Out

Posted by Concert Venues | Posted in Concert Venues | Posted on 31-01-2009

0

Concert Tickets for certain artists can and sometime will sell out within minutes. Many people always ask what they can do to get concert tickets they know are going to sell out. There are a few thing that can certainly be done. One thing to do is sign up to artists mailing list or fan club. By joining the musicians fan club, you not only get emails announcing their upcoming concerts our tour, but many also give their members a chance to get tickets before the general public. They do this by sending out presale passwords and having companies like Ticketmaster sell tickets the advertised on-sale dates. Only members with presale passwords will be able to purchase tickets in advance. If there is a band or musician which you must attend every concert they have in your area, then joining their fan club is a good idea. Not all fan club members will be able to get tickets though, as there may be more members than the actual amount of tickets they are releasing.

Another way to get concert tickets is just by trying to buy them when they go on-sale to the general public. The one thing you need to know here is that you have to buy them the minute they go on sale. The way to do this is to find out the time they are going to go on sale and in what time zone. You should load up your browser up to the website selling the tickets several minutes before the release time. Navigate to the page where you select the number of tickets. Before you start the search, make sure you wait right until the on-sale time. If you are able to find seats you may purchase them or release them and search again. Remember that a lot of other people will be searching the same way and releasing tickets back if they are not satisfied with the seat selection.

If you know that the concert will sell out, you should buy your concert tickets if they are in a good location. A lot of times, people think that they can get pit tickets or tickets in the first row and will release perfectly good seat selections in hopes that they can get better seats. The odds of you finding better seat locations after you have released good seats is slim to none. If you do have great seats, get them.

If the show sells out and you were not able to get any seats, you still can get some on the secondary market. Ticket prices will generally be higher because the seller can set the price at whatever he or she wants. Pricing will be determined by how popular the concert is and how high the demand is. Ticket brokers will usually have a large selection of ticket in premium areas such as pit or front and center rows. You can usually search the ticket brokers inventory at your leisure online. This way, you can select the best seat locations without feeling any pressure.
