cj Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Against Me is coming to play a show in Calgary on an off day on their tour with Foo Fighters. The show is a private show at a bar though and you have to win tickets through a radio station. I have friends who work at the bar but they arent even getting tickets. Does anybody have any ideas how i should get tickets? Its capped at 200 people and almost all of the tickets have been won already!! HELP!

Guest falloutcollapse Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Sneak in. Or hit them up on myspace or something and beg and plead and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Could your friends at the bar possibly get you in somehow? Or are they not even gonna be working or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Look for someone who is clearly drunk in line.. lead them to the alley.. punch them out, steal their ticket Also, it's a bar I'm sure you can sneak in through the back door Especially if you have friends who work there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 sneaking in to shows is the easiest thing in the world. hell get there early, walk in like you belong there.. and if you havent got the balls to just hang out talking to someone... go hide in a bathroom stall or something.

dante3000 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 sneaking in to shows is the easiest thing in the world. hell get there early, walk in like you belong there.. and if you havent got the balls to just hang out talking to someone... go hide in a bathroom stall or something. Truth. I'm completely spineless. I always follow the rules and shit but my sound guy is 180 degrees the other way. He constantly just does shit and when I ask how he goes, "What's the worst they can do? Say no? Kick you out? You're no worse than you were before". And 99% of the time shit works out for him.

cj Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 the show is at a bar though and sneaking in is pretty much out of the question. the bar doesnt open until whenever they decide doors open which leaves that out of the question... i thought about getting a job there but it just opened so they dont need anybody... it looks like beating somebody up is going to be my only chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 go to the radio station and tell the stupid lady at the front desk you won tickets, if she wont give em to you cause a big stink and yell and throw shit until they either kick you out or shut you up with the tickets. radio stations are stupid.

chunkrock Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 How do you win tickets? Is there something you could enter online? Could We try to enter and since we don't live in calgary just give you the tickets or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 How do you win tickets? Is there something you could enter online? Could We try to enter and since we don't live in calgary just give you the tickets or anything? i appreciate the help but you have to go in person and win them... they have to pick your name and call you, then you go to the station and play either operation, jenga, kerplunk or hungry hungry hippos against a dj and if you beat them you win tickets...

cadetapplesauce Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 yeah, my friend back home told me that live 105 had a contest where you could get into the show for free and go backstage and play foozball with AM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfiction Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 when the band is loading in, go to the bar and offer to help. normally that gets you in and backstage for the entire night. enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, sneaking into shows/backstage/etc. is the easiest thing in the world. Wear dirty clothes, make sure your keys are hanging from your belt loop and make sure you have absolutely no expression on your face whatsoever -- indifference is key. Then just find an open door and walk through it. It also helps to be talking on your cell phone, even if you're just pretending. The busier and more annoyed at the world you look, the less chance a security guard will say a word to you. At the Fest last year, the line to get in at Common Grounds on Sunday morning was retarded long and I had to see Armalite, so I just walked in the back with my girlfriend. The back door guy stopped me and I said, "I'm in a band." He asked which one and I said, "The Ergs," with a sort of "You fucking moron, you should know that" tone. He waved me and my girlfriend in.
