Free tickets, anyone? Hop aboard the Comp Train, Goldstar’s popular promotion that features complimentary tickets to tons of fun events throughout the country. Through April 26th, you can get free tickets to live theater, concerts, dance, comedy and more.
Since all you pay is a tiny service fee (the amount varies depending on the event, but it’s usually just a couple bucks), the Comp Train’s a great way to discover new events in your area and treat your plus one, your family or even just yourself to something totally great — and totally unexpected.
Hurry, though – these comp events sell out quickly!
Comp Train Events include:
Parachute with Billy Raffoul
Platinum-selling band Parachute are on the brink of a momentous 2019 with the release of their first new music in three years, the new single “Young” from their highly-anticipated fifth studio album, coming spring 2019. In April, they will embark on The Young Tour 2019 which will travel throughout 35+ cities across the United States.
Djembe! The Show
With a drum on every seat, Djembe! The Show is a new, interactive theatrical experience that’s making its U.S. premiere at Chicago’s Apollo Theater. You’ll journey around the world and across time as you play along to favorite pop and rock songs led by Broadway and Chicago performers.
Chicago Artisan Market
This Sunday gathering located in the heart of Fulton Market at Morgan Manufacturing allows you to get up close and personal with both products and makers as you shop for one-of-a-kind designs, home goods, fashion, art and food from a carefully curated grouping of more than 100 independent local artisans.
Chi-Town Hot Sauce Festival
More than 40 of America’s best hot sauce vendors will be offering searing samples, while competitive eating events like the Spicy Taco of Hell or the Deep Dish Pizza of Doom Challenge will test competitors’ intestinal fortitude. All this plus a cocktail competition, chihuahua beauty pageant and a pepper eating contest make the Chi Town Hot Sauce Expo the coolest place in town.
