Long time no see! Gabi back here with advice for your summer shows! Most of us only have about a month of school left and its time to start thinking about summer tours. From Big Time Rush, to One Direction, to Carly Rae Jepsen and The Wanted, it seems just about everyone is touring this summer. I have the tips to make your concerts this summer ones you will never forget.
1. EARLY EARLY EARLY! If its a seated show, buy tickets as soon as possible! Tickets for big artists sell fast, and you want the best ticket for your money! For general admission shows, like Warped Tour and some of the pits on the arena tours this summer, get there early to get a good spot! It may seem like a lot of waiting but in the end, it will well worth it.
2. Meeting the artist? The best way to meet an artist is through a meet and greet, and often you can win these from your local radio station! Check early and often for contests and try your best to win! Get creative and get your friends to help you out with votes!
3. Bring a friend who doesn't know the artist yet! If an artist you want to see isn't loved by your friends yet, invite them along! More often then not you will have an awesome time, an awesome memory, AND a friend who now loves the same band you do! Perfect!
4. Outdoor Show Exclusive Tips: Stay hydrated! I can't count the number of outdoor shows where I've seen a fan taken out on a stretcher due to dehydration. You don't want to be in the hospital AND miss the show! Its no fun to see it happen, and you do not want that to be you. Watch how sunny it is - a hat or sunscreen is never a bad idea to throw in your bag. Sunburn will make for even worse PCD (Post Concert Depression) the day after.
Thats all for now folks! Tweet at @hitzoneonline with the summer shows you are headed to! Maybe we will see you there ;)
