I have two suggestions.

1. Lawn Work

This is a great option that yields quick results. The younger you are the more likely you will get the work. Try neighbors that know you well, they are more likely to give you work than complete strangers down the block.

Pros: Always available, high yields
Cons: Physical labor, could be time consuming

------------

2. Aluminum Recycling

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3613515017_50e2e73171.jpg

This is yet another option. Many major cities have junk metal recycling centers near by. These centers will pay you a fraction of a dollar for each pound of metal you turn in. The problem with this is that it may take you quite a while to ''find'' enough metal to make a substantial profit. On the other hand, if you have a ton of junk handy (things like an old car body, aluminum siding, copper pipes, etc.) you can make a quick and easy dollar.

Pros: Materials are plentiful, not too much physical labor
Cons: could be time consuming, may not have a high enough payout

-----

Personally I would just go with the lawn work.

There is no possible way to earn that much money in so little time. one thing that you could do is Cyberbegging. You ask friends on all your social sites for money. They can send it through paypal. But there is no guaranteed you will get any money. There are even sites dedicated to this.

I think it's very possible to earn $100 in a short amount of time, the asker never specified the timeline.

Fraddle mentioned "mowing lawns" You'd be surprised how much money you can earn going through a neighborhood and offering to mow an old persons lawn, do 5 lawns, each giving you $20 give or take, there is your $100.

Depends on how quick is 'quick'. You still can have a shot at the barnraising competition this week, and do tasks for money. If you do enough, you can cash out before the 15th, and be half on your way to buying those tickets.
Then again, why do you need $100.00 when the tickets are only $39.50?

Try and find sites that pay you to sign up with them. For instance I signed up for a GE Interest plus account and they paid me 25.00 to do it.

Lending Club, a peer to peer online lending organization, gave me 25.00 when I opened an account through them. I then invested that 25.00 with them and am earning 9% interest.

I'm sure if you opened the account you could take the 25.00 dollars they give you and you will be 25 percent of the way to your goal of 100.00.

I hope this helps. :)

Craigslist. If you offered to trade your old couch and a pair of ski boots for Miley Cyrus tickets, you'd get laughed at.

But you can sell that same junk for cash, sometimes in only a day.

Post on Thursday evenings...everyone goes out on Friday nights. Then, post some more on Saturday morning when everyone is looking for yard sale fodder.

A decent yard sale can get you $500+ in a day. Wear a hat and a smile, and keep lots of small bills handy for change.

Getting a job is not "simple" in any economy. Any legit employment will require days of waiting for application screening, background check...and that's only if they liked you in the interview.

Fastest I've ever gotten a job was 1 week from application to hire. Then it took a month for the first paycheck because everything was paid 2 weeks in arrears.

So....5-6 weeks is hardly "quick".
