Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does this program work?
A. We teach you three things. First, we teach you who has the authority to make decisions regarding backstage and special-access passes to music events, sporting events, etc. Second, we teach you the information you'll need before approaching these people, and finally, we'll tell you exactly what to say when asking for your passes. It's not magic, of course. You just have to know what to say and to whom. You'll learn all that and more from this program.
Q. Is it guaranteed?
A. Yes. We find that it's possible to get passes about 70% of the time, if you do it correctly. Some people will do better, some people will do worse. But we back it with a 100% money-back guarantee for up to 90 days.
Q. How many passes can I get?
A. The number is unlimited. You should be able to get special-access passes for as long as you use our system. I have used this system at various times over the last 15 years, and it still works like a charm.
Q. How long does it take?
A. Once you're an expert, you can do everything from beginning to end in about four weeks. Of course, it really only takes a few minutes to do the calling and letter writing, but the time consuming part is just waiting to hear back from them. So you should allow at least a month leadtime between the time you start contacting the right people and the time the event is actually scheduled. For beginners, though, you should allow a little more time, like two months when you're just starting out.
Q. Can anyone do it?
A. Yes. There are no restrictions on who can do this. But again, some people will find it much easier than others.
Q. Is there an age limit?
A. I would say so, yes. It would probably very difficult for someone under the age of say, 16, to use this program effectively.
Q. Is it legal?
A. Yes. It is completely legal to request backstage passes. All they can do is say no. However, we'll show you what to say to get them to say "yes" more often than "no".
Q. How much does it cost?
A. Just $19.95, all inclusive.
Q. Are there any additional costs involved?
A. You may have to make a long-distance phone call or two every now and then. But there are no major expenses involved. If you seek passes to an event that requires traveling, obviously you'll have to pay hotel and airfare expenses, but that's entirely up to you.
Q. How much competition is there?
A. Virtually none. The handful of people who use this program on a regular basis are so far-flung around the world, the odds of your ever being refused because of competition are very slim.
Q. Can I get multiple passes to the same event?
A. It's possible, but not common. Even if you do everything right, some promoters are just stingy with these passes, and don't want to give out more than 1 per person. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but don't expect it.
Q. Can I sell the passes I receive with this system?
A. Technically yes, but be VERY careful. In some jurisdictions, it's against the law to sell passes or tickets above face value. And there are some promoters who will cut you off flat if they find out you're selling these passes.
Q. How do I know this works?
A. My biggest problem is convincing people that I can do what I do. That's why I have a 100% iron-clad money-back guarantee for up to 90 days, so you're not risking anything by trying it out. And I've also included some of the testimonials I've received from people who have used this program successfully. (If you get this program and get a few passes, I'd appreciate it if you'd also send me a testimonial so that others can see that this really works. I promise not to use your full name.)
Q. I don't have a credit card. What can I do?
A. You have a couple of options. We can also accept your personal check online or PayPal
Q. I live outside the US. Can I use this program?
A. Absolutely! In fact, I've discovered that this method works just about everywhere I've ever been. I also have several customers overseas that have reported tremendous success.
Q. I placed an order, but I haven't received the report. Where is it?
A. If you placed your order online, you will be forwarded immediately to a link where you can download the e-books. If you didn't, please send an email to info@backstage-passes.com. We'll get back to you as soon as possible, but please note that we are generally NOT in the office on the weekend.
Q. How long have you been in business?
A. We started in November, 1998. For more information, visit the About Us page.
