How To Survive 2012: Guide to survive from many upcoming live concert

Apparently with some couple years we’ve been through finally our beloved country gain more respect and trust for the International artist to come and have show here. With more than 20 big names already lining up to have show until June this year not only in Jakarta but other places around Indonesia. But are we ready yet to welcoming them? or if i can say, are our pocket ready to be spent for experiencing live performances from our fav artist this year? Here are some tips which probably could help you (and your piggy bank) to survive from the sudden gig attack.

1. Everyone knows why they created a piggy bank

Since we’re kids, our parents, teachers, and even child singers taught us to save some of our money. Make a list of which concert you want to go, how much the ticket price and make some target how much you want to save from your pocket, if you want to gain more and fast, you have to cut more from other budget. Maybe instead of eating at socialite fine dinning which cost you Rp.100k per plate, you can go to warung which cost you only Rp.10k per plate! Boooyyaa.. you just save Rp.90k!! Where to save your money after? It doesn’t have to be in the bank, you can save it on your piggy bank or even under your pillow. The point is you have to keep it away from your everyday wallet. And remember the more you save, the more money you’ll have, not only for buying one ticket maybe you can buy all tickets and even give one for us.

2. First thing first

If you weren’t in the group of people who ate at fine dinning places and you’ve already did our no.1 step by saving a lot from here and there budget and still doesn’t have enough to buy all concert tickets, so don’t be greedy! First thing first, you must have the list of bands you should see before you die right? which one is your priority? If you’re too much for pop band and you have seen Westlife or Backstreet Boys before, maybe you should try something new like saving for Anthrax concert. Who knows, while you watch the band you found some new screaming technique from the audience.

3. Every man for him self

Ok so you’re old and your parents only gave you money for your college and living cost which going to concert is not on their budget for you. You don’t know what to do, cause you cant stop eating at those fine dinning restaurant or shop every midnight. Then what should you do to get some money for the gigs? Get your lazy ass to think! do some side job and make some cash! after you get the cash do the no.1 or 2 step. don’t waste it again. enough said.

4. We all know if we’re into free cool stuff

If you still too lazy and stupid to think, don’t worry we’re still here to help you to get what you want. Who doesn’t like free stuff? i believe we all does. So if you still broke, you don’t know where else to go or to do, check all quizzes twitter timeline, band’s Facebook page, promoters website, participate on their quizzes, then pray for some miracle and rabbit’s foot.

5. Let it go

Ok, if you’ve done all those 4 steps and yet still cant see your favourite bands this year, well, just let it go. Life is too short to be wasted for catching bands that maybe doesn’t give a damn of how hard you have to give to see them. You’re still young and have many years ahead to get ‘revenge’. Study hard, get a nice job, well paid and after you’re rich, you pay them to do live performance for you. Yes, ONLY FOR YOU.
