Life After Credit Card Debt – July Update

Goldstar: Half-Off Local Events In 8 Major Cities

Feeling the recession, but still want to get out of the house? You might consider signing up for Goldstar, which helps you to “Go out more”. They offer half-price tickets on plays, concerts, sporting events, and museum exhibits.

So far, it includes events in these areas: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, D.C. Metro, New York, Boston, San Diego, and Las Vegas. Events are summarized into weekly e-mails, and there is also a social networking component where they collect a lot of individual reviews of each event.

For example, if you live in the SF Bay Area, you could ride an all-day Golden Gate Bay Cruise this weekend for $11, see the Giants play baseball tonight for just $5, watch professional beach volleyball for $5, or even watch bassist Charlie Haden at Yoshi’s Jazz Club for free.

They do tack on a service fee for each ticket, which varies but is at least disclosed relatively early. I saw from $2 to $6 per ticket. For each new friend you refer that joins Goldstar, you get $1 credit towards service fees.
