How To Get The Best Concert Tickets As Cheaply As Possible

Have you ever wanted to get front row seats to your favorite concert, but realized they were either sold out or cost thousands of dollars?

Would you like to have the so called “best seats in the house” at the next event you go to? And only pay retail value, or less than retail value for your seats?

If so, I think I’ve got just what you are looking for!

Now, I’ll be the first to admit, I am by far an expert when it comes to buying concert tickets. I still go to concerts where my seats are far from the best seats in the house. But, with that being said, I do I have two methods of buying tickets that I know will work very well for you. I know this because I have used these two methods, and will continue to use these two methods in the future to get great seats. And I have no problem sharing these methods with you, because I know how great it is to sit in the first few rows at a concert.

Method #1: The Art Of Presale Ticket Passwords

The first method that will allow you to purchase great seats is taking advantage of presale ticket passwords. I know it may sound a little fishy, but I promise it’s really not that big of a deal…

Before tickets are sold to the public, they usually have a presale that goes on for a couple of days. During this time, only people who have a presale password can order tickets. These passwords are usually given to fan club members or other groups associated with the event. However, these passwords can also be found or purchased online. Often times for just one or two dollars!

Go to eBay right now and see how many presale ticket passwords they have. It’s truly amazing! best concert tickets

By getting a presale ticket password, you have first access to all of the great seats! Visit Ticketmaster (or wherever the tickets are being sold at) the moment the presale takes place, then order the best available seats as soon as you can.

By doing so, you are paying retail value for seats that will likely be bought or sold for far more later on! So, whether you decide to resell the seats, or keep them for yourself, you can enjoy the benefits of being first in line to order your seats. And all it costs you is a couple bucks to pay for a presale password.

So many people have no idea that these passwords exist. I know I certainly didn’t! But, don’t let that stop you from being on the look out for them the next time you are looking for a concert to go to!

Note: Even if there is no presale going on, you would be amazed by whats seats you can get for retail price if you just plan ahead.

For example, go to Ticketmaster and look up one of the Vegas shows. Check out the best available seats for shows that are 2-4 months from now. You can easily get either front row or second row seats if you plan ahead that far in advance!

Method #2: Late Ticket Buyers Don’t Finish Last

If you didn’t plan ahead with method #1, there’s still hope for you. You can still get great seats. And you can get them for retail value or even cheaper!

Ordering tickets online has gotten much better since Ticketmaster and other places have given you the option to print your tickets off yourself. By doing so, you can buy tickets from someone the day of the concert, print them off, and still make it in plenty of time for the event.

Have you ever been to ticket sites such as StubHub or TicketLiquidator? With enough money, you can get front row seats to anything you could possibly want! The problem is it will often cost you thousands of dollars. But…

Have you ever watched the ticket prices moments away from the event? They decrease dramatically!

So, if you live somewhat close to the arena, or are staying at a hotel nearby, you can order your tickets 30-60 minutes before the game. Have them email you the tickets immediately. And still make it in time for the game or show!

The problem, you may be thinking, is what if they don’t email you the tickets in time?

Well, if that is the case, the big ticket sites, like the two I mentioned above, will refund you your money. So, you’ll get your money back at least.

It’s surprising, but this method works better than you think! The reason is that many of the sellers don’t want their tickets to go entirely to waste. They would rather get a few bucks out of it than nothing at all! So the sellers that are watching to see if their tickets sell to the very end notice they aren’t being bought, so it only makes sense for them to drop the price in desperate hope of a buyer!

You can take great advantage of this! Like I said, you need to be close to the stadium. And, there’s some risk that you won’t get any tickets. But if you’re in a big city and looking for something to do, you can get a great bargain by doing this!

Note: This works really great for music concerts. Often times the bands that play before the main event are terrible and aren’t even worth watching. So if you print off the tickets and show up an hour late to the concert, you will still have plenty of time to see what you really came to see.
