What is the best (or most efficient) way to score a ticket to a sought after concert online?

Asked by shilolo (18085points) October 17th, 2008

I need to get tickets for an incredible show tomorrow in the AM. Can anyone suggest the best way to access Ticketmaster’s website to improve my chances?

this is to get multiple tickets if theres a limit, but you still have to wait in line. get your friends credit cards on your account and say you’ll pay them back. the limit works per credit card, not per account. many people scalp tickets using this method.

If you can’t source a pre-sale password, the best option I can think of is to go to ticketmaster shortly before they’re due to release, and just keep hitting that refresh button…..usually does the trick for me.

Try ebay. If tickets are still on sale, your chances of getting better seats for not too much more $ are pretty good. You can also try craigslist. As far as TM is concerned, unless you have those special programs that bump you to the front of the line, or a pre-sale password, getting tickets is luck. You can have other people try to get tickets as well. It could increase your chances.

Wait. Have tickets gone on sale yet? Even if they haven’t, the ebay suggestion still applies. Try right after tickets go on sale, or right before the show; you can get the best deals that way.

Are there still places in your area that sell tickets at retail stores? Almost no one stands in line anymore. It’s not convenient, but it’s could be a good way to get tickets.
