UPDATE! With the joy that I’ve had with the 2 giveaways I was already planning on hosting a Swiftie meet up. Now, with the devastating news about the Maui fires, I thought we can meet up + fundraise at the same time.

What: South Bay/Los Angeles Swiftie Meet -Up and Fundraiser

When: TBD! I’m working on the logistics, so please sign up to be notified or check my Instagram- ideally in the next week I can make this fundraiser event happen

MAUI HELP - If you are or you know someone immediately effected by the fires in Maui, please apply for their funds. I will be taking the fundraiser money to help people we know as well as reputable organization.

GET INVOLVED - Fill out the Maui form and I’ll be in touch

I then decided to ask some South Bay Business owners if they’d be interested in a collective giveaway and I am so thankful that Shelby St. Claire of Come Lunch with Babes, Tricia of South Bay Dreamin, Chris Remaley of Cheebo Rancho Palos Verdes and my (non South Bay friend) Danika Brysha of Self-Care Society were down. We gave away $200 cash, a mini headshot session with me, a ticket to Come Lunch with Babes Anniversary Party, Cheebo swag with the total value of over $1000.

We were looking to help fund a South Bay Swiftie to get her into a seat at the final Taylor Swift Eras Concert in Los Angeles— you know, the last concert in 2023!

I was so happy to gift Christina the first giveaway prize!! What her reaction here!

$250 Taylor Swift Bucks, A seat inside my IGNITE Business Coaching Program and the coveted Blue Crew Eras Sweatshirt! The value was over $1300.

On Monday, I offered a giveaway on my own to one mama who was also a business owner. I felt very grateful for my chance to see the Eras tour and I felt that an extra $250 could help fund a ticket for the final 3 shows. Now that I’m writing this on Thursday, I can’t believe that last Thursday, I saw tickets for less than $200 and last night there were no tickets short of $1000.

She’s an icon, she is the MOMENT! With just 48 hours to spare, my friend Kelly and I decided to see if we could snag same day concert ticket to Taylor Swift’s ERAs Tour at Sofi Stadium first show, on August 3, 2023. Here’s the fun reveal I did to my community.

Afterwards, I continued to document my journey on how we snagged a same day ticket, what to pack for your concert, and my #1 tip to document the fun. And then I decided to pay it forward since I was able to afford to go because of friends and family. This was giveaway #1.

Even though the giveaway is now closed, please consider following all these accounts!)

We are South Bay local small business (outside of my friend Danika Brysha of Self Care Society who runs an incredible virtual Self-Care community you should check out)!!

The winner of the 2nd giveaway was notified and could no longer try to make the concert and eventually the $200 was given to Shannon of Motherhood Union and she even made it to Sofi but the prices were no less than $1000. It was unfortunate that the resellers were unwilling to bring their ticket prices lower to let all the Swifties in. I still sent her the money to offset the parking and for her to buy merchandise. And because of that, the idea of of a Swiftie meet-up was born.

The Back Story

This is my 2nd giveaway! I asked some local business friends to join me this time !

I didn’t have the budget to spend more than $200 on Eras tickets, and I wanted to go so badly. I even applied to work the event as a staff person, true story! Then I heard about this hack for discounted tickets and told my friend Kelly on Tuesday. On Thursday, Kelly and I were crazy enough to show up to Sofi stadium without a ticket or parking spot. We got our ticket at 7:44pm and entered the stadium at 7:57pm and ran in before Taylor got on stage which was 8:20pm! There were tickets for less than $200 and also on that day, Ticket Master dropped tickets at 7:30pm for face value. Today, they released some at Face value again for verified fans!!

I’m hoping you can snag a seat!! It was wild to have done this and truly an unbelievable experience. I’d love to try to get your there.

So with this extra cash, you can try our same day ticket hack, or add your money and secure your ticket. It’s up to you! This money is to help you fund the ticket that works best for you. We obviously cannot guarantee anything, and Ticket Master may release day of tickets. No one knows!

After the concert, I just felt so amazing and it was such an extraordinary experience. The joy. The fun. The outfits. The friendship bracelet trading. My heart is still smiling. I would love everyone that I know who loves Taylor, to go. So today, I asked some local business friends to pool in some money!

Maybe you’re like me and have a budget of $200, so if you win, you now have extra $$$ to spend on the ticket, parking and merch!

WINNER WIL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL WED at 11am PST. You have 30min to claim it before I move on to the next person. I’ll only need your venmo info when you confirm.

I truly would love to see a South Bay Swiftie live her best life and go to this amazing concert ! I was so inspired by Taylor’s generosity of giving her team a bonus check and her dedication to her craft. I loved her before the show, but now a super fan after experiencing Eras!
