Last year KLPac was practically my second home cause I had shows back to back. But in the midst of all that I missed out on one particular event which i’m feeling rather sore about.

The event I’m talking about is the Klue Urbanscape.

A place where everything is a stage; Live music ranging from grunge to jazz playing in the background; Screenings of films you would not see in our local cinemas yet; Funky, whacky, outrageous and maybe even cheap fashionable apparel.

In a shorter way to put it the Urbanscapes is an all-day “user-generated” creative showcase of the city’s best in music, art, theatre, film, fashion and with a bunch of marketplace vendors thrown into boot.

Here is what you will be catching at the event. Just click and it will link you straight up to the main website. And yes if it looks like it’s from the urbanscapes website it is cause i think they gave a very cool breakdown of each category that is going down that day.

 
Coming from an arts industry myself. I would be looking most forward to are the street performances and the indicines. Especially since I know some of people who will be performing and showing off their works. Such as T4YP, The Oral Stage, Comeback Kings and Electric Minds Project. All the more I  am SUPPORTING the arts scene! If not how else will it grow here.

Maybe the other reason i missed it last year was because i didn’t manage to win free tickets to the event. Yes it’s not a happening all day event that you can just waltz into..unless you have a ticket!

I’ll be honest in saying that as a struggling artist myself I’m always trying to get free tickets and guess what I’m going to share the wealth on how to win those tickets for Klue Urbanscapes 2009.

How to get your FREE TICKETS!

First of all if you are a Xpax/U.O.X. customer then guess what you are entitled to getting 2 free tickets!! But you have to be one of the first 200 customers first. If you are a new customer just a buy a Rm30 reload and get a free Xpax/U.O.X. starter pack. For you existing U.O.X people just reload RM30. Then get your free tickets from the booth next to the ticketing counter at the event. And I’m sorry but you can only reload once and to get the tickets. You can like reload and reload to get free tickies.. no fair!

But if say you missed out on being the first 200 customers… Too bad la!

I’m kidding… there is still some hope.

How to get TICKET DISCOUNTS!

Tickers are priced at RM35 but as an Xpaxerion (yes i made that term up!), you are entitled to getting them at RM25 – Hey RM10 discount better than no discount i say. If you’re not an Xpax user i suggest getting yourself a pack and then redeem this discount. How?

Step 1: Go to the Xpax booth close to the ticketing booth whereby they will be verified to see if they are a Xpax / U.O.X customer. If not they are not a customer they will be required to sign up for Xpax / U.O.X

Step 2: They will be issued a discount voucher. Each customer will only be able to buy 2 tickets maximum

Step 3: Bring the discount voucher to the normal ticketing booth , submit the voucher and purchase the tickets

Simple enough right!! Now moving on.. Yeah my info doesn’t just end there.
