How Do I Win Tickets to the Grammys?

The Grammy Awards (or Grammys for short) are given by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to music industry artists for their outstanding achievements. The award show, established in 1958, is a major music event each year and it is typically held in or near Los Angeles. Winning a ticket to the Grammys is not a sure thing, but by entering as many contests as possible you can increase your chances of winning.

Instructions

      Visit the Grammy website and see if any ticket contests are being held (see the References). Since the Grammy Awards are typically held in January or February, these contests are most likely to begin sometime after November. Sign up for the contest by entering your information and performing any required tasks, such as writing an essay or filming a video.

      Visit the websites for television shows and networks that have held contests in the past. Extra TV held a contest for the 2010 awards in which you entered by signing up as a fan of Extra and referring as many friends as possible to the site. For a similar contest, sign up for the contest and refer people using social media that you use, such as Facebook and Twitter.

      Listen to radio stations that are hosting contests for the Grammy Awards. In 2010, CBS 47 and Y101 held a contest in which they would play a Grammy-nominated song on their station and the ninth caller would receive a Grammy CD. All CD winners would then be entered in a grand prize drawing for Grammy tickets. Listen to local Los Angeles radio stations for contests in January and February, and follow their instructions to enter and register to win.

Search for these contests by using "Grammy contest" in a search engine like Google or Yahoo in December, January and February to see what contests are available for the upcoming Grammys.
