I'm planning on going to the Family Values Tour with Evanescence and KoRn this Tuesday. I need two tickets, which will be about it's going to cost about $200 (I don't want lawn seats).
I don't have a licence, and I'm 15.
I need ideas on how to earn money, fast!
Thanks!

Sorry, I meant next Tuesday, not this Tuesday.

IN response to ecashoffers is $hit:
Well, don't listen to his post. I've researched the site that he refers to and it will not help you in this situation. He's trying to get referrals.
Like others said, selling, either off ebay or things like garage sales or lemonade stands, is probably the best thing you can do.
I used to be a member of a church youth group and they discovered how to make a LOT of money in one night. They started with a penny and went from door to door, explaining that they are in a church youth group and wish to raise money. Then they ask that person if they could contribute something just a little better than what they have. So for example, they go to a door, give the person a penny and that person gives them something a bit better- maybe something they dont use any more or a quarter.
At the end of the night they brought back a refrigerator and a few other things. So it works, but it really depends on your cause. People will more willingly offer money to a church group than someone who wants to go to a concert, but you could try.
I hope this helps.

Find out how much a vendor/Peddlers License costs in your state. Tell your parents that you want to sell lemonade to raise money to get the tickets. More than likely they will give you the other $100. Who knows, if you call and tell all of your family members, they all might stop by and get a cup along with some friends just to support you.
A little boy did this for his sick brother and made over $5,000.
PS. If your parents have to loan you the money to get the supplies to set up, make sure you offer to give them their money back.
Sell your lemonade for $1.00 and go to Walmart and get the Assorted Chips, sell those for .75.
You will need a 5lb bag of sugar and a 2 boxes of fresh lemons, it should cost around 20.00.
Two boxes of snacks should cost about $15 for 48 bags.
The Peddlers License is very reasonable $10 to $20.
If you borrowed $50, it should be enough to get you started.
Oh yeah, get some of the hand sanitizer to clean your hand often. You dont want anyone getting ill because of germs.
The way I see it, you should clear $175.00 if you sell Sat. and Sunday.
You could always cut some grass or babysit if that sounds like too much work.
Good Luck

Well, you're 15, so you're not going to be able to get a pay day loan. Why don't you ask your parents for the money? If not your parents, your grandparents, aunts or uncles? How long have you known about this concert? You could've earned the money in this time by babysitting. Good luck, I hope you can raise the money.

You could try to win the tickets somehow on the radio or contacting the venue/bands with some heart-felt letter begging for tickets. But since that is unlikely - I would suggest simply finding better taste in music so you don't have to go to that nonsense.

If you have extra stuff and need money, sell your stuff on eBay. Or mow some yards. Offer to help around the house for some extra cash. Ask your folks and tell them you will pay them back by doing things around the ouse. Be creative, there's lot's of money to be made by creative people.

Sneak in to the show.... It will be a story worth telling to your grandkids. Tell the person at thje front gate "I'm just coming back... I has to run to my car for some emergancy insulin because I'm diabetic" "The other lady said it would be ok"
Bonus points if you are on a wheelchair.

Ask neighbors if they would like their lawns mowed, cars washed, babysitting. Have a small yard/garage sale.
