On Monday, August 31 st , punk-rock band and AMP3 PR’s client The Used will be hosting the first ever 24-hour tweet-for-ticket album listening party for its fans. The premise? Fans will tweet a message regarding the release of the new album from the band, Artwork, which will allow them to have access to a virtual listening party, built by Culture Jam Labs and Warner Bros Records. Inside the listening party, fans will be able to stream the entire album of Artwork , see other fans in the party, and possibly be one of the first fans to be able to buy the album from iTunes, Rhapsody or The Used’s official website. Interested? Remember, just one tweet about the album release gets you in! - Sabina for AMP3 Public Relations
