Hey everyone! Scott Heisel, AP's music editor, here. I wanted to give you a rundown of what's going on in AP Tour Land:
1. Tickets for the Fall Ball featuring the Academy Is... and Mayday Parade are on sale right this very second! We expect all shows to sell out, so buy your tickets now
right here.
2. Have you already bought your tickets? Wanna have a private meet & greet with the headliners? Then
click here to find out how you can! This is available to people who buy their tickets in advance
only, so don't wait until the night of the show!
3. Wanna go to the Fall Ball but your wallet is empty? Fear not: We're giving away a pair of tickets to every single date of the Fall Ball! To find out how you can win for your city,
click here and get in the game!
4. Okay, so you've got your tickets, but do you have a way backstage? With our Dress To Express contest, you do! The most creatively dressed fans at each date of the Fall Ball will be chosen to skip the line and enter the show first, plus they'll get to watch their favorite Fall Ball band from backstage and be a part of a photo shoot for AltPress.com. As this is the Fall Ball, we encourage formalwear, but don't think you have to be in some stuffy suit or fancy-pants prom dress -- use those items as jumping-off points and use your creativity! We'll be combing the line every night for the best-dressed people, so make sure you get to the show early.
5. What, you still want
more? Well, how about this: NEW SONG BY THE ACADEMY IS! You can stream "I'm Yours Tonight" off the band's Fall Ball-only tour EP right
here.
6. The hits just keep on a-comin': We've posted the cover images for AP 256, featuring the bands of the Fall Ball, right
here. The issue hits stores everywhere Oct. 3, but you can buy your favorite cover from us direct
right now, and we'll ship it immediately! Click
here to do just that.
7. Okay, I don't think I can type anymore, so I'll leave you with this video -- it's behind the scenes of Mayday Parade's AP cover shoot. Dig that bucket list!
