At the very beginning of her act, she has a ring leader/MC type person introduce her. One of the things he started with was saying something to the effect of “By now I’m sure you have all tweeted this and made your Facebook friends jealous by updating statuses saying you are at the SOLD OUT Janelle Monae show”. He then went on to make fun of MySpace a bit. And what do you think happened next? Tons of people pulled out their phones and did exactly what he “assumed” everyone had already done. The best part, was the entire “marketing effort” if we can call it that, was extremely entertaining. It didn’t feel forced or awkward or out of place. I went to a concert expecting to be entertained (and I was), I left with a couple new marketing ideas.

p.s. Janelle Monae is absolutely incredible live. I seriously recommend checking her out.

Great post and thanks for all of the examples!
