Do your chores obediently and without question and be really nice to everyone, but also withdrawn. Be really quiet and act all mopey. Complain that youre depressed and lonely and you want to go somewhere but you dont want to at the same time (the more convincing that ur actually depressed). Let your parents overhear a wistful conversation between you and someone else about this place you want to go to. Also, dont over-do it or theyll try to put you in therapy.
Ah, I kno that manipulation is...not exactly good..But admittingly useful..I've never majorly guilt-tripped my parents before tho..Ack, you could get major backlash and then they could just pile the guilt on u in the future so..I wouldnt ever do it to someone I really kno and I cant believe I suggested it..My mind runs away with me..I want oranges.
Maybe itd be better if you just had an honest conversation with them and if you dont get ur way just suck it up.

Okay, wait a minute here... if you tell us where are you going then maybe we can think this more thoroughly and avoid giving you advices which could get you into trouble. Obviously, it seems that you require some sort of permission from your folks to let you out of the house, so I surmise as much that you are still quite underage and young. So, pardon my curiousity, but where are you going? And how come you think that your parents would "probably" not let you go? I, however, thought it was rather nice of you to please your parents: but not everybody falls for bribes. Please put down at least a bit more info on your situation before I can help you out.
EDIT: I wholeheartedly agree with "teresathegreat" 's suggestion of using logical thinking and reasoning however.

Flattery will only get you so far. You also need to present a mature, logical reason WHY you should be allowed to go. You need to explain to them why it is a good thing that you go - why it will provide a positive learning experience, why it will keep you out of mischief, why the benefit to you is worth the cost to them. Try to focus on issues of safety (chaperoned by another adult or parent) or enrichment (you'll learn lots about animals at the zoo, you'll get good exercise at the beach, etc).
