There are several ways in which the money shortage problem can be attacked. Here are a few ideas for you. Some of these are sensible, some are stupid and some are clever.

For example, it makes every sense to simply save up for your Bob Dylan concert ticket. Every sense, but dull! Or, you could try selling some of your material goods on eBay. You'll undoubtedly make money, but what a chore! Or how about going cap in hand to the person most likely to fall for your hard times story, and who would see the opportunity of funding your concert ticket purchase as a mission of mercy? Sucker!

If these (relatively) sensible ideas aren't for you, how about some off the wall suggestions towards raising funds to buy that ticket?

Hold a garage sale. Why not convert all that junk you've grown out of into cash? Or how about doing a sponsored diet, walk, swim, run, climb, bungee jump, parachute - whatever takes your fancy?

Turning away from the ridiculous, let's consider the sublime. What would you say if there was a way in which you could get in to see the Bob Dylan concert for free? It is possible. All you need is a backstage pass.

"Is that all?", I hear you ask, in an unbelieving sort of way.

Yes, that is all.

A backstage pass will get you in to your concert. You'll be able to take photographs while the general punters are having their cameras confiscated. You could be on the side of the stage watching, and you might even meet Bob Dylan.

Now, there are techniques in applying for a backstage pass to any concert. There are certain people to approach in certain ways. You need to know who these people are, how to contact them and what you need to get over to them in order for them to give you your backstage pass.

If you know the right way to go about this, you can have fantastic success. If you go about it the wrong way, however, then you'd better find the money from somewhere because the only way in to the concert for you is to buy a ticket!

Fortunately, there are several resources available to help you succeed in getting backstage passes. For example, ConcertGroove offer a free ebook on the topic. It's really an introduction, but it will be useful to you if you're totally new to the concept of backstage passes.

If you really want to get your Bob Dylan concert ticket without paying, in other words get a backstage pass, you could try searching on Google and seeing what other resources are there for you.

Without doubt, having a backstage pass is a very exciting proposition. Getting close up and personal with your favorite is what it's all about.
