What are good methods for concert ticket selling?

Omar: What are good methods for concert ticket selling?
So my band is playing in the Skinnie Magazine Top 100 Bands event on April 2nd. And my band needs to sell around 30 tickets at about $ 15 each to people. The problem is, I really suck at selling things to people, so when I am not around my band, I really don’t sell any. So, anyone have any good advice on selling these tickets to people, basically convincing people they want to come haha.

All help is appreciated!

Do you have a Myspace or Face book? If so then what I would do is set an event date and invite people to it, this usually helps a lot and I’ve seen it work for some of my friends bands. It works well because so many people use them and information gets around really fast! If your band doesn’t have a Myspace I would extremely recommend getting one. If that doesn’t work try calling your friends and asking them to call there friends and spread the word. Or post a craigslist add for the concert if you are allowed to. If none of these work you could always try putting an add in the newspaper or something…
