Ok, so I never knew warped tour had legit backstage passes, but after reading a little more into the website I found the Unite the United Fundraiser for TJ Martell Foundation. It said they were the only legit place online to get the backstage passes. After googling and researching I could not find these so called "passes" Can someone please help me?

One thing backstage passes are not sold at the box office or thru an online
place like ticket master. You either have to be working with the band or the
concert or know someone personally that is connected to it...
There are FOUR WAYS to get a backstage pass. From somebody that posted this information here on Yahoo Answers in the past. That is really knowledgeable
on this subject & some editing of my NYC experience on this.
1)
You must KNOW someone connected with the band or tour, more like a relative that works for the band/concert/promoters. Or, if you are lucky have a friend or a neighbor that has a relative that works for the band or the promoters directly. Or somebody you personally knows that
works for the band or promoters directly that has these connections.
2)
Be a news reporter. You would have to be one connected to your local newspaper or local TV/radio news team. Also, people that are internet news bloggers very rarely get these unless they are very well know in the news industry. I have seen a few teens that get a website
and claim they are a news blogger (that just don't cut it).
Also, the news people can't just show up with their news crew and be let in backstage. They have to arrange this in advance. Especially these days.
3)
A local radio station will sometime have a backstage pass or two of the concert and offer it as a promotional prize.
Either you have to be the 7th or 10th or 12th caller.
Or hope that the entry form you filled out gets picked out by the radio DJ or whoever they have in a random drawing.
4)
Sometimes a person will have one and will sell it on EBAY online auction or Craigslist and EXPECT to pay REALLY BIG DOLLARS (like hundreds or thousands) for one.
You have to be careful when buying these from these websites. Some people I have seen that show up at a concert and pay $300.00 and more on one only to learn the backstage pass they bought is nothing but a laminated fake that security can easily spot.
Some of these backstage passes have bar codes or security strips on them, depending on the agents and promoters.
On some concerts the promoters will give a backstage pass to a person. Sometime these backstage passes are not transferable. If the person is not the name on the ID code on this backstage pass they could be in some trouble.
Those are the ONLY WAY you will get a backstage pass legally.
Thank the Lord for the copy & past option on IExplorer so I don't have to type the above information again when people ask this question.

RE:
Warped Tour Backstage Passes?

The people that I know at music shops and some bands performers (and these are not those real big time folks like Lady Gaga, ZZ Top, Justin Bieber) tell me you have to know somebody personally in the music industry like the performer or the music producers or even the promoters to even get a backstage pass. It also helps if you are related to any of the roadies, stage crew or somebody connected to the concert you want to see.
Also, I was informed BEWARE of people selling backstage passes on places
like Craigslist or even EBAY to any upcoming concerts. Some of these are just
copies of previous concerts that have been modified to make it looks like it is for
an upcoming concert. Or a laminated fake somebody did on his home computer.
Each concert backstage pass is different in format, color and letter style.
Some fans have gotten taken on this. Some buy a backstage pass to a concert
and find out it is for a concert a few weeks ago and not any good to upcoming one.
Some promoters, go to the trouble of having magnetic data codes on them, this
deter good fake copies. They have different data codes and types of software programs on these per concert so a computer hacker can't try to simulate the dada code.
Again, you have to know somebody in the music industry to even obtain a backstage passes.

Call both venues and ask. Where did you get the pass? If it doesn't say anything about the date of the tour, I'm sure you will be fine. They barely glance at it.
you have to be 18+ to donate your blood, so yes techniqually your dad could get you a backstage pass. but it really is not safe to lose that much blood that quickly. good luck :D
