I know, I know, you hate spam email. Yet, alas, this isn’t spam. Below are the pre-selected, personal filtered types of email lists you need to subscribe to and why:
MovieTickets.com – When I need to purchase movie tickets beforehand I go with movietickets.com. I am a creature of habit, the very first time I needed to do this, I went with movietickets.com and have stuck with them ever since. Especially now that I receive weekly emails for free movie showings. Sometimes they’re screenings of big budget/well known films a week or so before the launch date or screenings of unnamed films with famous named actors still in need of some editing. Of course you can opt out of these emails at any time. Showtimes are often scheduled during the week around 7pm at a big city near you.
AEG – For upcoming concert alerts and showdates. Not a lot of deals offered but always nice to be ahead of the pack when purchasing tickets for big acts.
Ticketmaster – Same deal as AEG, but you can receive notifications from specific artists/bands of your choice.
Boutiques – Usually, boutiques don’t have one, sole individual that can maintain an email newsletter. Which means they save all their announcements and deal specials for that one email sent to your inbox about every other week. You don’t hear from them a whole lot, but when you do, it’s always great.
Party and Event promoters – These people want you to come to their party because they need a packed house. So why not go? In the weekly party/club/event email scan through what venues and nights perk your interest. They’ll usually offer you the chance to RSVP beforehand with how many guests. You’re then put on a guest list and get to have a fabulous night at no cost to you.
