WeGotTickets Teams Up With UK Festivals To Support Youth Music Pioneers

One of the UK’s top five ticketing agencies, WeGotTickets, continues its support of Youth Music with a campaign to raise funds for one of its projects, by teaming up with Field Day and Underage Festival and launching the Youth Music Pioneers initiative.

Youth Music Pioneers is an ongoing celebration of live music, inspiring innovative music performance events for young musicians while helping to transform the lives of thousands of young people across the country, developed by the Youth Music charity. The charity is also launching the Youth Music Pioneers’ ‘Be The Business
Handbook’, a resource for young people providing advice on how to put on gigs and events, which is available from their website (www.youthmusic.org.uk) now.

Customers who purchase tickets via WeGotTickets to the festivals and make a donation of at least £1 towards Youth Music at point of purchase, will go into a prize draw to win two money-can’t-buy prizes. Field Day festival goers will have the chance to win VIP passes and the Underage Festival winners will receive an exclusive goodie bag.

In addition to the competitions, WeGotTickets will run a site wide campaign for Youth Music Pioneers, in order to fund a project which sees them work with 5-12 year olds at a Short Stay School for those with extreme emotional difficulties. 10 pupils will work over 10 weeks to create new music, inspired by linking to other groups of children and music leaders around the world via Skype and internet broadcasts.

Steven Endersby, Project Manager at WeGotTickets, said: "It’s amazing to have Field Day and Underage Festival offering prizes to our customers, and we hope the donations our customers make to enter those
competitions - along with our site wide donation - will make enough money to fund the Youth Music Pioneers campaign at a Short Stay School. It will be great to see WeGotTickets, our customers, and our client's donations and support make a difference to disadvantaged children through this project. We’re pleased to be supporting a charity that advocates how live music and performance can positively impact and enrich young lives around the UK."

Tiru Thiruvilangam, Community Fundraiser at Youth Music, says “We are extremely excited about having another opportunity to work with WeGotTickets after our successful Christmas campaign. With this
campaign, we hope to be able to raise enough money to deliver a fantastic new project that will help young people facing the risk of social exclusion. By working with Eat Your Own Ears on Underage and
Field Day festivals, it’s going to be a great summer for our supporters, gig-goers, and young people alike.”
