Big announcement coming in July
We’ll run a 48-hour pre-sale ticket competition to determine where we bring our headliner for our Fall 2023 College Tour. Our ticketing strategy challenges the outdated way college concerts are booked and sold. This empowers students to bring top emerging artist to perform on their campus, meaning it’s up to you to make it happen! No middle buyers and no boomer politics.
Anyone with the enough guts and passion to spark a movement! In the past, the most successful campus tycoons have been social chairs of their sororities or fraternities, influencers, athletes, DJs, promoters, or just someone who loves a challenge. You will be rallying your student body to purchase tickets to an unknown date or location, and you’ll have 48-hours to do it
The national competition starts Sept 13th @ 4 P.M. EST. The Top six schools with the most pre-sale tickets within 48 hours win. Scores are updated throughout. There’s so much fun and anxiety.
Great question. We only charge the credit cards for the pre-sale IF your school wins. We’ve been at this for six years.
They’ll be in the $30-$33 range with no taxes or fees. First 100 tickets will be free with a special code.
Before the competition begins, think about creative ways to get people talking about this across campus and socials. Gathering a 10-12 person squad who’s well connected to Greek Life, music venues, designers, promoters, DJ’s, content creators and influencers is the perfect place to start. Starting your promotional plan during July is ideal.
We’ll work behind the scenes with with every competing college to determine the best venue location in advance.
Anywhere from early October until mid-Nov. Chill though, we’ll make sure its not mid-terms or that you’re missing out on Homecoming.
The Up & Up Festival works closely with campus ambassadors, artist managers/booking agents, venue owners, production/security companies to craft an incredible experience.
If your school wins, your hard work as an ambassador has earned you 30 meet & greets, All Access passes, curating the opening acts, cash bonuses potential after parties and introducing the artist on stage. Most of our previous college ambassadors have said it was the “highlight of their college career.” The perks don’t stop there, because you’ll also gain valuable experience as your campus’s creative director.

Any college or university campus within the United States is eligible to win (some restrictions may apply due to artist radius clauses)
