Press Release Summary = Going to see a concert can sometimes be more trouble than
its worth. Can booking a concert break change this?

Press Release Body = Although many of us don’t like to admit it going to see a
concert can sometimes be more trouble than its worth. While it certainly isn’t very
“rock and roll” to tell your friends that you don’t fancy getting stuck with
thousands of other sweaty people at the back of a concert you can’t even hear, the
fact remains that there are better ways to spend an evening.

To be honest, when you start to think about it there is many things about concerts
that are simply not fun! For starters, unless you want to spend a fruitless morning
at work hitting the ‘last number re-dial’ button or getting up at an inhumane hour
of the day to queue outside the ticket office – you may struggle to get the best
seats in the house. You can try booking online but most of the time the website
starts crashing due to the high traffic volumes or your work server won’t let you
access the site in the first place!

In the end you pay a substantial amount of money for a ticket in row ZZX next to two
moaning teenagers escorted by their parents. By this point I bet you are feeling
really “rock and roll”. By the time the concert finishes you have had to listen to
the crowd sing for two hours because the band is so far away and have the
prospective of a two hour drive in front of you just to get a mile away from the
stadium due to the high traffic volumes. All this and you haven’t even had a
drink...

By this time you are thinking that you never want to go to a concert again – but
wait... What happened to the exciting concerts of your youth? Great atmosphere,
great music, no problems. Surely these days aren’t gone forever? Well the good
news is these days aren’t gone, as long as you get organised – or let a third party
do the organisation for you.

Organised concert packages are becoming increasing popular in the UK. In the past
these have been very expensive but an increasing amount of organisations have become
quite competitive in this area and as a result they have become great value for
money. For example, http://www.superbreak.com offers a number of ticket plus hotel
deals which means you are guaranteed a grand stand view of proceedings and don’t
have to worry about late night journeys home fighting through the traffic.

Another great benefit of buying a ticket this way is that such companies very often
have tickets even when the gigs are officially sold out. Normally, when trying to
get tickets to sell out concerts you will spend hours trawling the classified
listings or spending a fortune competing in bid wars on http://www.ebay.com!
However, organisers of concert packages usually have guaranteed tickets which means
you can still get some of the best seats in the house a couple of days before the
sell out concert.

Booking a concert break can really take the stress out of the event – and let you
concentrate on having a good time. With hotel accommodation after the event you
don’t have to worry about driving home, which means you can enjoy a drink and a meal
before or after the event. Many of the hotels in packages are within easy walking
distance of the venue, which really means you can take things at your own pace. You
never know, you might even be sharing the same hotel as the band – now that would be
rock and roll!
