ASU students win free Saweetie concert in Tinder Swipe-Off challenge. How to get tickets

Grammy-nominated rapper Saweetie is heading to Phoenix on Saturday, Nov. 11, alongside ‘Hey, Mickey!’ collaborator Baby Tate to put on a free concert at Arizona Financial Theatre exclusively for Arizona State University students.

And it’s all because of Tinder.

The dating app recently partnered with Saweetie to launch Swipe-Off, a nationwide challenge where the college with the most swipe activity gets a free concert headlined by the rapper.

Tinder sees the highest influx of new 18-year-old members during freshman orientation.

To encourage these new users to put themselves out there and make new on-campus connections, Tinder partnered with the “Tap In” rapper to launch the Swipe-Off challenge.

Why Saweetie loves Tinder

Saweetie has been vocal in her affinity for both the college experience and Tinder, with the USC alum referencing the brand in her viral hit single “Tap In.”

“Whether they were a fling, a friend or something more serious, the people I met at USC are what made my time there a blast,” Saweetie said in a press release.

“I’m excited to partner with Tinder in encouraging today’s college students to ‘tap in’ to the possibilities that come from meeting new people.”

How to get free tickets to Saweetie’s Tinder concert in Phoenix

Students at ASU’s Tempe, West, Phoenix and Polytechnic campuses are eligible for a ticket. Here’s how to get one:

Students with ASU in their Tinder bio will receive in-app notifications from Tinder with a link for preregistration.

Users will then be asked to enter their ASU student email to verify their affiliation with the school.

One ticket will be emailed immediately following confirmation.
