An Important Note about Phishing Attempts Using the Ticketbud Name

Ticketbud Christmas Tracks: Krystal Flores

With the cold front finally making it’s way into Texas. It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, and what better way to get into the spirit with Christmas music. Ticketbud’s Social Media Specialist, Krystal Flores, shares with you her favorite Christmas songs. Whether you are at home wrapping presents, or hosting a magical Christmas party for friends and family, you must have the right music to set the mood. Here are my top favorite Christmas songs.

1.)  Jingle Bell Rock What’s not to love about this song, it’s upbeat, awesome guitar riffs, and just gets you in the Christmas mood. Everyone knows this song; even Mean Girls performed this song for their talent show. Come on everyone knows what I’m talking about. 2.)  Frosty the Snowman What's not to love about an awesome snowman! Every time I hear this song, it makes me feel like a kid again. What kid wouldn't love the thought about a snowman coming to life. This has to be in your playlist for Christmas. 3.)Mr. Grinch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35WgpMq6e3o All time favorite movie to watch on Christmas day so of course I’m going to love the song. Thurl Ravenscruft’s voice is just perfect for this song. I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch! Never gets old. 4.)  Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer This is a great holiday song, but I’m not going to lie, the only reason I love this song is because the part after you sing,” he has a shiny nose.” And you get to say like a light bulb. It cracks me up all the time. Don’t judge people! I love singing this song. 5.)  This Christmas It’s not Christmas until you listen to Donny Hathaway sing this song. 6.)  Baby It’s Cold Outside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3H6YE-40xg This song was originally a Christmas song and only played around Christmas time, but over time it has became very popular and has been played year round.  It's a nice and cute song. I just love it. 7.)  Feliz Navidad I grew up listening and singing this song, brings me back to when I was forced to sing this song in the mall with my classmates in kinder. Just imagine thirty to forty kids singing this song. Well more like screaming the lyrics. Awe great precious memories. 8.)  Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer This is just a funny and spirited song. Come on, how can you not laugh when you hear grandma got ran over by a reindeer from walking home. First thought that came to mind when I first heard this song was, who would let their grandma walk alone on Christmas Eve? Second was, why would Santa let his reindeer run over a poor old woman. And third was, If I was that kid would I get more presents from Santa because he ran over my grandma? I over analyzed everything when I was a kid. 9.)  All I Want For Christmas Is A Hippopotamus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGLGJV01C0Q This song cracks me up every time I hear it. Only during Christmas time does a kid want a hippo, and he tells you not a doll, or any other animal, but a hippo. But this song does have the Christmas spirit feel to it. During this time of year we’re all like the little boy singing the song. Telling our loved ones and friends what we want for Christmas, I know I do. 10.) Wonderful Christmastime A Christmas music list wouldn't be complete without a Beatle! This old-school tune is catchy and fun and a classic sing along song. Don't know all the words? Don't worry! As long as you can remember, "Simple having a wonderful Christmastime" you'll be fine! 11.) The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire) No one does it quite like Nat King Cole. This holiday classic reminds me of the family filled days right before Christmas and is a great tune to share when everyone is winding down after a nice dinner. Whether your having a holiday party or just relaxing with friends, you can't go wrong with one of the best Christmas songs of all time. 12.)  Santa Claus Is Coming To Town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWv72L4wgCc Best song is saved for last! Everyone knows this song by heart. Great song to teach kids that they better be nice, because if they're not good o’ Saint Nick will find out and they won’t get any gifts under the Christmas tree. There you have it, my 12 favorite Christmas songs! So go out there and spread the holiday cheer!]]]]> ]]>

How To Throw A Party For The "End" of the World!

What are your plans for December 21st? Are you going to stay home and hide from the unknown of what’s to come? Or are you going to take doomsday by the horns and party like there’s no tomorrow? Everyone knows what December 21st means, this is the day where the Mayan Calendar comes to an end and people are predicting the world will come to an end. So, why not host an end of the world party and end it with a bang!

First we must answer the who, the what, and the where. Who are you inviting, what’s the theme of your event, and where's it going to take place? Since this day is suppose to be the last day ever, why not invite your close friends and family. I really doubt that you want to spend your last day with random strangers. You want to host a fun and exciting party. Now, let's get to the what and where. They play out hand in hand, so here are several theme suggestions.
   
  • Mayan Theme:  You can have a jungle feel to it, you can draw pyramids on your walls, have the Mayan calendar, torches, and skulls. If you are thinking of having it outdoors, it would be amazing and a special touch to have pyramid in the middle of the area.
  • Asteroid Theme:  This can be really fun. If you are having it indoors you can cover your walls in the color black, then you can draw asteroids. To make it pop out you can have glow in the dark colors so if you have a black light it will stand out even more. You can have several rocks scattered one the ground, draw buildings and have them be on fire. Right in the middle of the room you can have a paper mache asteroid hanging.
  For more ideas on how you can decorate your End of the World party you can visit Ticketbud’s End of the World Party Board on Pinterest. And if you’re not hosting a party or going to one and just so happen to be near New Orleans why not go to The Ultimate 12/21/2012 Party, The Cosmic Convergence Festival hosted by Giorgio A. Tsoukalos himself! Tickets are available at Ticketbud! So let’s party like there’s no To-Maya!]]]]> ]]>

Ticketbud Tracks- Marissa Reinert

Let’s face it Ticketbuddies, we have all been there. Be it a night out with the girls, or post game beer with the bros, at one point in your life you have found yourself at a karaoke bar…unprepared. Have no fear Marissa is here! My expertise lies somewhere between fearless nerd and karaoke connoisseur. I have complied a fabulous list of epic ballads, one-hit wonders and yes, even some TV theme songs that are sure to keep the heckles to a minimum.   1) Midnight Train- Journey …A classic. One of the most widely recognized 80’s ballads of all time. An air-guitar friendly,easy crowd pleaser, that everyone will sing along with. This is one of my go-to songs when I have a karaoke virgin with me.  It’s hard to screw up Journey, but not impossible.    2 )To Be With You- Mr.Big …A heartfelt ballad for a fearless duet. The high pitched falsettos and ridiculous over-emotion make it a blast to perform. This 1980’s super group wants to be with you….they really, really want to be with you.   3) Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith …The perfect performance for those who don’t take karaoke or themselves seriously. This song is fun, fast (less than 2 min) and EVERYBODY knows the words to it. EVERYBODY. If you are unfamiliar with the lyrics, you probably have a fake I.D. in your back pocket.    4) Friends In Low Places- Garth Brooks …Does the thought of singing in front of a group of strangers scare the daylights out of you? This is a      simple, familiar country ballad that you can literally talk your way through. It’s great for karaoke first-timers and guarantees crowd support. Everybody has friends in low places!   5 ) Only The Good Die Young-Billy Joel …Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorite musical icons. I love him and everything that comes out of his mouth, including this upbeat feel-good song. The words are simple and the tempo is slow enough to fake it till you make it!   6) Gypsies Tramps and Thieves- Cher …Cher is the diva of all divas. With an alto voice that’s hard to replicate, her music can be tricky, but this simple little track is a blast to sing along with. Man up!  If you’re out with the boys this is track, makes for a great laugh.   7) Miss American Pie- Don McLean Do you have 8 minutes and 33 seconds to spare? Good! Then sign up for this track and get ready to belt your tone-deaf heart heart out! No need for vocal skills on this puppy, just endurance and lots of stage presence. If you’re going to be performing for an extended period of time you must keep the audience engaged and entertained….I like to bring my own tambourine.   8) Hey Ya!- OutKast …Shake it, Shake Shake, Shake it like a Polaroid picture!  Sometimes karaoke can take a hard left turn, a few too many tequila shots and everyone is singing “ Baby Come Back” and “Joey” by Concrete Blonde.  Break the “Chains of Love” and bust out a little Outkast! Hey Ya is a fail-safe good time rump shaker!   9) Bye Bye Bye- NSync …You know the words (don’t lie), you know the dance, now get up there and perform it! This infectious pop single was one of the biggest smash hits of 2000. In fact, I bet you’re singing it in your head right now (sorry)! Have fun and lay the cheese on thick, ladies will LOVE it! 10) Take Me Home Tonight- Eddie Money …Oh Eddie Money, thank you for this to-the-point , innuendo-less, shameful, catchy song. I love it and I love singing it! “Just like Ronnie sang…Be My Little Baby..OH OH OH OH!” Do you feel the hunger? I do!   There you have it friends. A quick list of go-to’s  for a long night of karaoke madness! Remember, karaoke should always be considered a judgment-free zone, so be kind!  Now get up there and show ‘em what you’ve got!      ]]]]> ]]>

Ticketbud Tracks: Erick Del Cid

Ticketbud’s Erick Del Cid is a Digital Marketing Specialist. Erick shares his playlist of songs that he likes to listen to on a laid back night out at a house party.
When I'm not in the mood to go bar hoping, I personally prefer a small get together with good drinks and good people. This is my track list for a chill relaxed get together, if you like it great, if you don't, I'm Sorry?
  1. Pursuit of Happiness; Kid Cudi To Start off the night I'll go with one of my all time favorites. Whichever version you choose to play this is a great song to get the night kicked off; Steve Aoki's version is my favorite.
  2. Poetic Justice; Kendrick Lamar Ft. Drake This was one of the most anticipated tracks from Kendrick's album where he pairs up with Drake with a chill beat with some samples great song to set the mood.
  3. The Zone; The Weeknd Ft. Drake The Weeknd is no longer just Drake's protege. The Toronto based artist's music is unlike any other, don't take my word for it listen to it.  He recently announced a partnership with Universal Republic Records and released  his debut album Triology.
  4. On My Own; Kirko Bangz Kirko Bangz is my favorite Texas rapper and having grown up in the heart of the Lone-star state Texas rap will always have a place in my iPod. This song is really laid back and kinda just flows it's a nice little song to listen to despite the explicit language.
  5. Ms. Jackson; Outkast "Yeah this one right here goes out to all the baby's mamas, mamas Mamas, mamas, baby mamas, mamas" I think that's all I have to say. A classic.
  6. All of the Lights; Kanye West I can't have a playlist with at least one Kanye West song, no seriously I legally have to have Kanye West in all my playlist.
  7. Frontin; Pharrell Ft Jay Z Don't really know what to say about this song other than I love it and every time it comes on I sing along!
  8. Chicken Fried; Zac Brown Band No this isn't a request for some food even though at this point of the night I could probably go for some. "You know I like my chicken fried, A cold beer on a Friday night, A pair of jeans that fit just right, And the radio up"
  9. Promises; Skrillex & Nero Remix This Dubstep song is one of the ones that made it to mainstream pop. Once the party is starting to pick up a bit this is a great song to get people going.
  10. Friends In Low Places; Garth Brooks I'm not one to promote drinking one's troubles away but hey whatever works! I challenge you to avoid signing along.
  11. Wagon Wheel; Old Crow Medicine Show No this isn't American Idol so just sing along chances are you will sound awful but by now we`re all a bit drunk and we really don't care. Great song by the way.
  12. Just A Friend; Biz Markie By now you have probably forgotten all then words or never knew them to begin with, but it really doesn't  matter  because chances are most everyone else doesn't either. On a side not I feel sorry that Biz had to walk in on his girl like that, he seems like such a nice guy.
  13. Don't Stop Believing; Journey It's on everything from Glee to Rock Band, and we all know the chorus even if it is on at the end so sing your little heart out!
  14. El Rey; Vicente Fernandez without fail somebody by now has  brought out a bottle of tequila shots have been poured and limes sliced. Now is the time to put on this classic. Trust me, you won't know the words and even if you did you have forgotten them by now but that will not stop anyone at this party from singing along with all their might. A few tears might fall but that is alright it comes with the song.

Ticketbud Tracks: Jack Meredith

Ticketbud Tracks: Jack Meredith, Business Development

Ticketbud's Jack Meredith shares his playlist of songs that he enjoys during a night out at the bars.  Jack's tastes are all over the place though he primarily like upbeat songs when going out.  He also enjoys stuff thats borderline goofy and over the top.  There's some club rap, a couple singalongs, and some jams from across the pond since he spent some time over there the past couple of summers.  Enjoy! 1.) Blur - Girls & Boys Bet you kids didn't know Blur released another song other than "that Wohoo song from an old FIFA videogame".  While that song is great in its own right, I like this one better.  This was right when Blur was breaking out in the mid 90's and began their rivalry with Oasis for the #1 Britpop band.  "Girls & Boys" is what I picture myself listening to before going out to get the adrenaline going.  Its got a great bassline and even made Thome York wish he had written it. 2.) Outkast - ATLiens This is a classic.  "ATLiens" has one of those memorable choruses that sticks around in popular culture years after its released even if no one knows where it originally came from.  Both Andre 3000 and Big Boi trade verses over a great beat that really carries the song.  Each sample hits just at the right time, great stuff. 3.) Kanye West - Christian Dior Denim Flow Kanye's discography is full of club bangers but I feel like this one didn't get the recognition it deserved mainly because it didn't make the final cut for My Dark Twisted Fantasy.  "Christian Dior Denim Flow" is a 7 minute long posse cut where Kanye decides to include a bunch of his friends regardless of their talent.  It makes for an entertaining ride as you get to hear a variety of artists on each verse.  Kanye's production is what makes everything click on this one. 4.) Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand  This is one of those songs that you find a tad bit annoying when you are sober but then after you hear it about 50 times while spending a weekend in Amsterdam you begin to fall in love.  Its repetitive but that's the point.  These guys had to know that millions of drunks around the world were going to be hooked since the song is easy to memorize.  Drunks love songs that don't involve more than two or three words. 5.) Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage I hadn't heard this song in years until I found it rummaging through my music library.  Much like the "Barbara Streisand", "Danger! High Voltage" is pretty goofy.  Example lyrics: "Fire at the disco/ Fire at the...Taco Bell".  Its another one of those songs that you can achieve optimal enjoyment with after a couple pints.  From a credibility standpoint, this song rocks because Jack White has uncredited backup vocal duties.  You can hear him sing these asinine lyrics the entire time. 6.) Macklemore - Thrift Shop "Thrift Shop" is probably the newest song on here and I have a feeling its going to blow up at some point.  I saw Macklemore recently at Fun Fun Fun Fest and had no idea who he was prior to the festival.  He put on an entertaining show and had a lot of energy throughout the set.  This song bumps and sounded even better live.  Rapping about buying clothes from a thrift shop is kind of weird but who cares when your 10 drinks deep? 7.) Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack I heard "Return of the Mack" for the first time last year while at the gym.  I immediately dropped my 5 pound weights in awe.  Mark Morrison has a unique voice, probably because he's a British dude singing R&B music.  It took me a long time to figure out who this was as I couldn't understand a word he was saying.  That didn't matter though.  This is up there in the "This is How We Do it" and "Bump n' Grind" echelon of cheesy R&B that is still fun enough to party to.  You can't really appreciate this song until you see the music video so here it is. 8.) Ram Jam - Black Betty Ram Jam's "Black Betty" is a song you listen to when attending a NASCAR race.  Ideally, you would be working on your farmer's tan while drinking whichever watered down beer they sell at the track.  Its repetitive.  Its catchy.  Its got a decent guitar solo.  Kenny Powers would be proud. 9.) Santigold - Disparate Youth I saw Santigold at a day party during SXSW last year.  Funny enough, this song is something I would expect to hear at a day party.  Its got kind of this tropical thing going for it that makes you feel like going to the beach.  The beat also has some bite that gives the song an aggressive feel which I really like.  I'm indifferent to Santigold's voice, I've always been more of a sucker for the backing music anyways. Well that's it.  Go check out the Spotify playlist, maybe I'll add more later on.  All of this writing has made me thirsty.      ]]]]> ]]>

Movember: A fine time of the year

Movember! Every year during the month of November, “Movember” is a global movement that takes place to raise funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer. The movement also involves Mo Bros, who start off clean shaved on November 1st and groom their mustaches for the month, and Mo Sistas, who support Mo Bros and help them seek sponsorship for their fine mustache efforts. These funds go directly to programs run by Movember and their men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong Foundation.

Like Movember, Ticketbud also supports the global movement against cancer. So much so that any event, Movember or otherwise, benefiting cancer charities are FREE! Cancer is a subject near and dear to the Ticketbud heart and waiving the cost for all cancer events is just a small part in a global fight.

If you know anyone that wants to host an event that benefits cancer charities, send ‘em our way. If you’re interested in participating in any Movember events, check out the events tab on their website to see if any events are taking place in your area.  And never forget the golden rule for this month…don’t shave!]]]]> ]]>

Ticketbud Tracks: Chris Beale

Ticketbud Tracks: Chris Beale, Digital Marketing Extraordinaire Do you often find yourself looking for some musical motivation during your workday or while planning and setting up your event? Well, look no further! One of Ticketbud's finest Digital Marketing Specialists, Chris Beale, shares some of his favorite workday tracks to motivate you and get your friends talking about music genres they never really knew about. Click here for Chris' Ticketbud Tracks playlist 1.)  Dolphin Boy – “Shake It Loose” Everyday that I’m working in the office, Dolphin Boy’s “Shake It Loose” always gets me into my workflow zone. You can’t really go wrong starting the workday off with Dolphin Boy. So if you’re looking for something to relax the mood and get into your zone, “Shake It Loose” is what you’re looking for. 2.)  Sugar Ray – “Someday” I have to say, out of most bands coming out of the 90s, Sugar Ray is probably my favorite! With their catchy lyrics and guitar riffs, I can probably put their tune “Someday” on repeat the whole day and be perfectly fine with it. 3.)  Dwele – “Weekend Love” Dwele is an exceptional R&B singer/songwriter from Detroit. This is definitely one of my Sunday afternoon songs and is also part of my “shower songs” list. 4.)  Lee Fields – “Honey Dove” I had heard of the name Lee Fields, but I had never checked out his music until recently. So far I can say that his song “Honey Dove” is my favorite. After seeing Choice Cuts start to promote their concert with Lee Fields, I knew I had to check out his music.  I’m definitely jealous of anyone in the Dublin, Ireland area attending the concert November 11th! 5.)  Esperanza Spalding – “I Know You Know” After attending Esperanza's concert 2 years ago, I was completely blown away by her. I’ve been following Esperanza for quite sometime and she is definitely one of my favorite jazz bassist/singers. Once I get in my workflow zone, Esperanza keeps me focused. If you ever have the opportunity to see her live, do so! 6.)  Zero 7 – “In The Waiting Line” I had completely forgot about the group Zero 7 until I came across an event that had G.Love and Graham Wilkinson performing. G.Love and Graham’s laid-back music reminded me of some tunes by Zero 7. Zero 7 is a group that touches on trip-hop and acid jazz, along with a down tempo ambiance. I just found discovered Zero 7 about a year ago, but I highly recommend going through all of their albums. 7.)  Flying Lotus – “Do The Astral Plane” The rest of my list pretty much consist of songs to keep me motivated towards the end of the day. This is where Flying Lotus comes in. Flying Lotus, a.k.a. FlyLo is an artist that lies in the electronic/experimental and jazz genres. His song, “Do The Astral Plane”, definitely takes more of an electronic/trance feel and is very upbeat compared to the rest of his tunes. I definitely feel revived when hearing this one! 8.)  Omar – “Lay It Down” (Andre Lodemann Remix) Omar  is an exceptional Neo-Soul singer from the U.K. and made his big debut during the 90s. I discovered Omar back when I was attending high school in London, but thanks to Andre Lodemann, he's blessed us with this upbeat remix that gives a little spice to it. If you get a chance, I also recommend you listen to his song "Last Request." 9.)  Kendrick Lamar – “Hol’ Up” Kendrick is the newcomer to the Hip-Hop scene and has done quite well so far with his debut record label album, "Good Kid, m.A.A.d City". His song "Hol' Up" is from his tape "Section 80" and is pretty much my morning/4:30pm anthem. 10.)  The Notorious B.I.G – “Big Poppa” Beware: this song might cause you to not complete any work. "Big Poppa" always gets me recharged towards the end of the day. You just have to be careful; listening to this song too many times will cause you not to get anything done because it tends to make you feel like you own the world. 11.)  People Under The Stairs – “We’ll Be There” People Under The Stairs is an underground Hip-Hop group that is based out of Los Angeles, California. This tune also shows off why PUTS is one of the best underground Hip-Hop groups around. I've personally never been to the west coast, but every time I hear this song, I feel like I just have to go! Well folks, this playlist is 47 minutes of non-stop motivational, recharging music. I'm also excited to say that there's more Ticketbud playlists in the works, so stay tuned.]]]]> ]]>

Getting People to Attend Your Fundraiser!

  • Offer early bird pricing
    • A lot of events like to offer  special ticket prices for early birds. Early bird promotions are tickets discounted at a low price for those who purchase their ticket in advance, and it seems to work. It gives the attendee a sense of urgency to buy before the offer ends. Who doesn't love to save money.
    •           There is nothing worse than having to go through all the trouble on organizing a fundraiser and no one shows up. To avoid this situation,  just keep these tips in mind when you're planning. photo credit: Susan NYC via photopin cc]]]]> ]]>
