Ticket prices for concerts and music festivals currently spend hundreds of thousands to millions of rupiah on average. For those of you who are concert connoisseurs who might be attending more than one concert and music festival, the first thing you need to do is do financial planning or budgeting.

Write down the various needs that will be incurred while watching the concert, starting from ticket prices, OOTD preparations, the price of merchandise to be purchased, accommodation costs such as lodging and vehicles to later consumption costs.

This financial planning is needed so that you have an idea of ​​how much money you need for each concert and music festival that you will spend. This can also be a reference for you not to ‘crazy’ or spend money outside of your planning, or until you run out of money in the middle of the road. In addition, this calculated budget can later also be an estimate of how much money you have to set aside or save in advance.

2. Separate your concert savings

After knowing the total budget needed to watch your dream concert, you need to estimate how long and how much money you need to set aside each month. This budget should also not be mixed with other finances, so that it is not suddenly used for other needs.

For example, at bank blu by BCA Digital, you can share specific savings accounts with up to 20 savings in one account via the bluSaving feature.

3. Consistent in saving

The last tip and also the most important is consistency.

If it is not consistent, then it is possible that the targeted number of targets may not be achieved in the expected time.

You can take advantage of the auto debit feature from the main account to the concert savings account. That way your concert savings will be reached on time and ready to watch the idol’s concert.
