3. Befriend Promoters: Always be a friend to the promoters around, people like Balaam (he’s stingy though) and others like KT. These will help you rise up faster into their circles and you will be assured of free tickets to concerts.
4. Join a Crew/Music Group: Become one of those members of Firebase, Leone Island, Gagamel and goodlyfe. Be the guy that fights and throws the punches for the main man of the group. If it’s Gagamel, become Bebe Cool’s bullet proof when he gets into fights. Since artistes always go to shows with their crews, you will be assured of free tickets.
5. Become a wild, but hot party girl: You see, we always want wild girl to escort us to various concerts. Those girls that know how to do the gyal a bubble dance move for us at the concerts. So, to get yourself a ticket, become one of those girls, a ticket will always be a call away because you are worth taking to a concert.
6. Listen to Radio and Watch TV: Always listen to radio, befriend the radio presenters and always call in, do the same for TV and you will always have a 90% chance of having a concert ticket.
7. Follow Entertainment Facebook pages: Yes, as simple as that, when they post something like: “The first one to comment gets a free ticket”, always have your comment somewhere, just copy and paste it to the page and you will have a free ticket. That’s how my friends get tickets.
8. Get to know the concert sponsors: If Pepsi is the one sponsoring the show, then follow the Pepsi facebook page, keep in touch with the marketing manager and it will be obvious, you will have a free ticket.
9. Continue building your brand: As you attend concerts, your brand will be so visible that it will now be obvious you are part of a concert. In fact, it will come to a time, where you just show up and voila, you are allowed inside without questions.
10. Befriend a journalist or become a journalist: This is the last sure step. But of course, not every journalist will have a ticket, those in the entertainment sections will have tickets. So, befriend people like G Khast. Better still, become a journalist with bigeye.ug or Scoop in Daily Monitor and you will have free tickets to concerts.
We wish you the best of luck, just focus on at least 5 of these tips and who knows, you may become the next Edwin, having the ticket to every big concert.
