Ticketmaster and Apple iTunes is teaming up to offer "A Summer of Free Music" to iTunes subscribers.

Here is how it works. You purchase a concert ticket, any concert ticket, for a show and get free music in return. The ticket must be schedule between Memorial Day, which is May 28th, and Labor Day, which is September 3rd, of this year. The concert ticket must be purchased through Ticketmaster.com.

After you purchase your ticket, you will be given a special code for a complimentary song on iTunes that is completely of your choice. It doesn't have to be related to the concert you are attending, although that would be a nice tie-in, wouldn't it?

Along with your complimentary song code, you also will get a digital sampler from iTunes that is a "selection of hand-picked songs." I'm not sure if that means that iTunes and Ticketmaster chooses the selection based on your choice of concert, or if it is purely a choice they make for promotional purposes.

I absolutely love going to summer music concerts, especially the ones that are outdoors. It is so much fun to sit on the lawn with a blanket and a picnic and listen to some great music. One of my favorite places to do that was a summer concert series on the shoreline of Connecticut, where I enjoyed everything from the Boston Pops to Amy Grant.

I am really hoping to find a great concert series here in Pennsylvania that is appropriate for the entire family. The free music offer is an incentive to get going now on my search.
