A couple years ago Patrick and I were invited to film David Bergman shooting a Bon Jovi concert in New Jersey. The experience was one of the most memorable of my life and if I had to put a price on it I really couldn't, to me it was priceless. The same opportunity is now available to you. David Bergman is auctioning off the ability to shadow him at a Bon Jovi concert.
If you are a fan of Bon Jovi, music photography, event photography, or David Bergman's incredible work, you won't want to miss this.
This offer includes:
- Two floor tickets to the Bon Jovi show on July 24th at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Show tickets will be in the first 20 rows on the floor outside of the pit.
- Special access to photograph the band's sound check with David at the stadium before the show
- One press pass to shoot the first two songs of the concert. You can use some of David's professional Nikon photo gear or your own
- Personal backstage tour from David
- Photo lesson to prepare you to shoot the show
- Dinner with David in the crew catering lounge
- One original David Bergman photo signed by the band
Head over to Charity Buzz to learn more and place your bid. All the profit from the auction goes to a NYC elementary school to pay for assistant teachers and enrichment programs
well there goes my chance :(
Once again someone with no talent but a large bank account will become a "pro" photographer...but its for charity...and i love the kids...lol
thanks for this one. i love the pun.
Thats not All Access lol All access for a concert photographer would be shoot the first 2 in the photo pit, then allowed stage access for the rest of show shooting.
Well, for the kids this is amazing, but for the rest of us fans that got all hyped up about the "available to you" opportunity, this sucks. Next time give away a random ticket opportunity or at least have a submission contest, you can always have a sponsor help out the kids as long as you offer a mention by Bon Jovi during the concert, or any other means of public exposure to their noble cause.
I think this is going to Patricia. I bet she'll go all the way and whatever it takes to win this. She's a Bon Jovi fan and has been in '25 concerts and counting'
Should have been a raffle so the working-stiffs had a chance.
