Free Tickets for Bon Jovi, Brad Paisley Go Up Friday

Bon Jovi and Paisley are performing separate shows as part of the Concerts For The Coast series. Taking place beachside, Bon Jovi rocks Gulf Shores, Ala., Oct. 15 followed by Paisley taking over the beach 48 hours later on Oct. 17.

There are a number of ways to snag ducats to these two events. Of course, you could always move to Gulf Shores, backdate your address and convince the folks at Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism that you’ve lived there for years, thus making you eligible for the tickets handed out to residents.

Or you can acquire tickets by booking accommodations through Gulf Shores and Orange Beach lodging partners.

Or you can go online and try your luck at acquiring ducats from the limited ticket inventory going up Friday morning Sept. 24.

There are two online portals for your free ticket quest – FrontGateTickets.com and ConcertsForTheCoast.com. For both sites the freebie fun begins at 11 a.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. Central Time.

Presented by Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism in cooperation with the Alabama Tourism Department and the cities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, both concerts as well as the entire Concerts For The Coast series are meant to bring attention and economic relief to the Alabama Gulf Coast region as well as stimulate the local economy following the BP oil spill.
