How to Buy Concert Tickets

This starts my series about how to buy concert tickets and make sure you are the person with the great seats for face value. The whole series will be posted over the next week.

The first rule of buying concert tickets is PLAN AHEAD!!

1. Join your favorite artists mailing list and fan club.
You will learn their tour dates. Some artists even have presales for members of their fan club before tour dates and ticket sales are announced to the general public go to the artists’ website and sign up for their mailing list. Generally the fan club presales have the best seats that are available to the general public. Fan clubs generally cost $20-$40. If you factor that into the cost of the ticket, that is just $10-$20 extra per ticket. That same ticket may cost $100 more on the secondary ticket market.
