Online tickets for the free show by white-hot hip-hop duo Macklemore &
Ryan Lewis and rising star and Wisconsin native Skylar Grey at Turner Hall
Ballroom on Sunday night were snapped up quickly Thursday, but ticket vouchers
for the concert are still available.
On Saturday, Yahoo marketers will be giving away vouchers at the Alterra shop at
170 S. 1st St. from noon to 1:30 p.m. and at La Coppa Artisan Gelato at the
Bayshore Town Center, 5675 N. Bayshore Drive, Glendale, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
You can't simply show up and expect a voucher. To receive one, you will have to
show off your "Yahoo! pride" somehow, according to a news release, such as by
downloading the Flickr or Yahoo Weather apps.
Each voucher may be redeemed for two tickets, but they don't guarantee that
you'll see the show. Tickets will be issued Sunday at Turner Hall on a
first-come, first-served basis, and once the venue hits capacity, further
vouchers will not be accepted for tickets. The doors open at 8 p.m. Sunday, but
it's probably a good idea to get there earlier.
Sunday's show is part of the Yahoo On the Road traveling music series. Other
acts performing in other cities include the Lumineers, fun., John Legend and
Fall Out Boy.
Those who can't attend will still be able to watch a live stream of the concert
on the Yahoo On the Road website.
Sunday's show will cap off a tremendous week for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who
made Billboard history by being the only duo whose first two singles -- "Thrift
Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" -- hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts.
It's the first act to accomplish this feat since Lady Gaga's one-two punch with
"Just Dance" and "Poker Face" in 2009.
Grey, meanwhile, is planning to release her first full-length album, "Don't Look
Down," on July 7 for Interscope Records after earning Grammy nominations for her
work cowriting one of Eminem's biggest hits, "Love the Way You Lie," and
appearing on Dr. Dre's track "I Need a Doctor."
