Narrow down the concerts or plays that you want to see. Ask friends and relatives if they know anyone who is involved in the upcoming event. Having a connection is the biggest key to making your way backstage. Once you locate a connection, ask for the favor and offer your services in return.
Keep an eye out for any promotional contests that are giving out backstage passes to the winners. Work hard to win the prize!
Working for a print or Internet magazine can also help you get backstage because the stars often seek publicity. Try to get assigned to cover your dream event.
Contact the venue to see if it needs event volunteers. Offer to help with security, equipment handling, handing out fliers or any off stage duties. This is a sure way to get backstage and meet your favorite stars.
