BBB Concert Tickets

Archive for August, 2009

There are certain events all over the world that that could be called a once in a lifetime event ticket. You have to be a millionaire these days to get decent tickets to events like the Super Bowl.

If you are a VIP, sure you been then to the Super Bowl, probably more than once. But if you are the average, ordinary fan there are not so many opportunities to see once in a lifetime event.

Unless you are a season ticket holder or know the right people there is almost no way to pay face value for events like the World Series, the World Cup, the BCS Title game, the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals games,
There are some events that are easier to attend, but for how much longer? These include NCAA Finals, INDY 500, Daytona 500, PGA Championship and the Winter and Summer Olympics. Don’t even get me started on concerts. How much would you pay now to attend Woodstock inn 1969?

Some of the best ways to obtain the best tickets for concerts, sports and theatre are methods almost anyone can use to get tickets for personal use or resale. Some stay at home workers make a decent reliable income just by reselling tickets.

Join the artist or team web site an/or email mailing list. Most artist have fan clubs that do not charge, but even if there is a small annual charge, it’ll usually be worth it because a small batch of some of the best seats are usually held for fan club members, but remember, ticket scalpers can also join the fan clubs. Even if you do not join the fan club, many times you try to guess the passwords which are sometimes based on an artist’s song or album title,

Search google for phrases like “presales passwords,” “free presales passwords, and “presales passcodes” and you will find a few reputable sites that compile passwords from various sources and are updated on a daily basis.

Ticketmaster and American Express have a partnership where many artists use Ticketmaster and American Express for their presales. Sign up for an American Express Gold Card. You really do not even need the Gold Card, but can usually work with a regular Amex card. The password for these presales are usually the phone number on the back of an American Express Gold Card and in some cases you can use the AMEX phone number for entry to presale but use a different credit card to be charged.

Sometimes radio stations will sponsor a concert and will have a special presale on Ticketmaster. You can usually call or email the radio station to get the password.

Go to the venue and wait until the event begins. Ticket sellers will usually drop prices significantly.

Ebay is also one of the best places to buy tickets at low prices. Ticket scalpers use eBay as a dumping ground where the seller is motivated to sell the ticket at any price because they do not want to lose the entire amount they have invested in the tickets so they will pop the tickets up on eBay with low minimum bids.

Facebook is a good place to connect and network with others to get tickets at face value from people who have purchased extra tickets only to have their friend back out at the last minute.

Craigslist can be used but with an extreme amount of caution.
