What's The Trick To Get Good Tickets For A Show Or Concert? I Go On Ticketmaster Exactly As The Tickets Go On Sale

[Eugenius]

Scalpers scoop them up, and venue's hold ticket, and clubs have pre-sales   I know where I work(in a casino with a big arena), they hold tickets for some reason. I know what I have been told, is that they release tickets the day of the show for people who "forget" to buy tickets. My sister has called the day of the show and has gotten up to the stage, buying tickets the day of. Also, people will buy the tickets with CC's and then later they fall through, therefore the tickets get released again.   Ticketmaster does almost the same thing. Tickets will sell out in hours, then a few weeks later I'll get an email saying tickets were released, sometimes I'll get an email saying last minute up close rows were released, so definitly sign up for the shows you are trying to see. I don't think they sell up close to the stage first, I think they sell in sections.   Scalpers and big business scoop up the good seats. If you want to see a sold out show- your best bet is to go to Ebay or Craigslist. You can spend the extra money and go to Stub Hub to get good seats. I have done that.   It's fustrating trying to get seats to a show and missing out. I suggest if it's for a band you really love, sign up for the fan club. SOmetimes they give you pre-sale codes, or hold seats just for the fan club. Sign up for news on that band on ticketmaster. They will give you a heads up on released tickets.
