Tickets for Charity helps you help others
James Taylor
Can’t decide whether to go to that concert you’ve been dying to see or donate the money to the less fortunate? Thanks to Tickets for Charity, you don’t have to pick.
Tickets for Charity offers tickets to some of the biggest and best concerts around. Currently, you can buy tickets to James Taylor, Coldplay, Diana Krall, Sugarland, Santana and the Phish Reunion Tour on Tickets for Charity, just to name a few. To make things even better, a donation price is built into the cost of the ticket.
Non-necessities a no-no?
I don’t know about you, but with changing attitudes about money being shaped by the current economy, I sometimes feel guilty about spending money on non-necessities. Even though I haven’t needed any paycheck loans yet, I think a lot more carefully about how I spend my money, and I avoid buying anything that’s not a basic necessity.
Tickets for Charity is a great service because it lets you do something fun and frivolous while aiding great causes. Furthermore, the web site makes it just as easy as buying any regular event ticket. Just pick your ticket, plug in your credit card number, and you’ve done some good for yourself and others all at once.
To sweeten the deal, Tickets for Charity sells only the best seats in the house.
Charities at Tickets for Charity
Some of the events on Tickets for Charity let you choose from a lengthy list of charities to determine where your donation will go. For instance, if you want to see Styx and REO Speedwagon, the total cost is $74.50, including a $25 donation.
You can choose from a list of more than 60 charities, including Vikings Children’s Fund, United for D.C., United Way of America, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Autism Speaks.
Other concerts, such as the Dave Matthews Band at Fenway Park, are set up to benefit specific charities. When you purchase your Dave Matthews Band tickets, the web site lets you know the money will go to the Red Sox Foundation and provides information about the charity.
Making the most of your money
There’s a lot of information out there about how to make your money go farther. I’ve seen everything: rip dryer sheets in half, cut open lotion bottles and toothpaste tubes to get the last bit out, reuse Ziplock bags, only buy items on sale at the grocery store, etc.
If you take advantage of the plethora of great money-saving tips out there right now, you could end up saving enough money to go to a great concert and help a great cause at the same time. Now, that is what I call making the most of your money.
