Apple has partnered with Ticketmaster to offer a 'Summer of Free Music'. For every concert ticket purchased online at Ticketmaster.com you will receive a complimentary ten-song digital music sampler showcasing a variety of emerging and established artists. Furthermore, for every purchased ticket to any summer concert, scheduled to take place between Memorial Day (May 28) and Labor Day (Sept 3), buyers may download one complimentary song of their choice from Apple's iTunes Store.

"Ticketmaster's concert program gets digital and live music directly to the fans, enabling them to experience new and undiscovered music," said Sean Moriarty, President and CEO of Ticketmaster, in the press release. "We are dedicated to providing Ticketmaster buyers with rewarding opportunities across all categories of live entertainment and these special music offers are a great way to kick off the summer concert season."

Purchase a concert ticket on Ticketmaster.com for any show scheduled between Memorial Day (May 28) and Labor Day (Sept. 3) and you'll get an electronic code for a complimentary song of your choice on iTunes, plus a digital sampler featuring a selection of hand-picked music.
