El único consejo que puedo dar, es hacer lo mismo como si comprarás un ticket de avión, a la media noche el inicio de la preventa entrar a la página y comprar.

Aún así no garantiza que lo consigas de inmediato, sígueme para mas consejos inútiles

You should totally wait until right before the concert. The tickets will drop. I’ve had 2 up at reasonable prices for over a month and they haven’t sold, I don’t think they’re going any where.

What city you going to? I just looked up Toronto for fun on StubHub and there's some being sold for basically the same I paid at presale (so around $300 each)

Oh my God! I am trying to take a bunch of my friends, old and new, to her concert. Super excited. Saw her in 2010 with a group of friends, and it was more meaningful than many of the nights and days before. She is impressive and puts forth effort to know her fans. She is our Ms. GAGA, and I look forward to seeing her with some of my amazing friends. So excited! BTW, last concert my friends consisted of two punk rock people and my besty and myself dressed to the nines(wish I had done my hair more fierce, but I plan on fixing that this time around! Oh and I'm planning on making my boys wear black eyeliner and nail polish. So fucking excited. Lol! Worst they can say is "no"! Lol yeah as if they have a choice?!? Uh hmm not!

Good luck, with her fame continuously rising after the success of coachella, I personally don’t think the ticket prices will go down- it will only increase🙈 hope you get tickets 🤍

Given your financial stressors, I think you should reconsider your ticket budget. $1800 for 2 nose bleed seats sounds ridiculous. Surely more reasonably priced tickets at least under $500 (which would still be considered very expensive for nosebleed seats) each will come up between now and the showtime.

Ugh, I hate floor seats so much!!!!

Like, just have a general admission standing area!!

So I totally get your concerns! Who are you going to see?

And yeah, you'll probably have to be ready online 5 mins before tickets go on sale and be prepared with your laptop / phone and whatever other devices you have and try and be the first one to obtain tickets. If you're lucky, you can select front row seats.

Does the website have the venue map up already?

The cheapest tickets you will find will be when they are first released. Sometimes bots will pick up a large amount of them and then you’ll see them being resold for 300% the original value. So, the best bet on the cheapest you’ll ever see them is right when they are released.

About the tall people: You can be the person who gets in line at the show super early, get a spot on the front rail and never leave that spot the whole night. That’s just takes so much effort. I usually show up half an hour past doors, and wiggle my way to a good spot front and center. If tall people get in my way, I change locations, like a couple feet to the left or right. I’m not particularly short though. If the venue has a balcony, that’s usually a guaranteed great view.

I did this for the LA show. Ended up buying from StubHub on the way to the concert and got floor seats for the price the nosebleeds were selling a week before.

Great advice, there will be a lot of selling, trading and new relationships formed while fans help fans get in the door

I was so angry about the prices in Australia that I sold great seats at a loss just so I didn’t have to see the greedy bastards play.

Seconded. I got awesome seats for Philly Saturday Night the night before at like 11pm.

Be diligent, check often and be ready to check out as fast as possible.

If you see a pair at face - don’t even debate it. Just grab it. Have your credit card info saved and expiration up to date. Just because you have the pair in your cart, someone else can still get them from out from under you, so be fast! And don’t be discouraged when someone else snipes you for your tickets. It happens over and over. That’s where the diligence on your part comes in.

Be ready at checkout to check 3 boxes lightning fast:

• A box to enter the 3 digits on back of your card

• A check box if you want ticket insurance

• A check box at the bottom saying you agree to whatever and then hit buy at the bottom.

Good luck! See you out there

This largely depends on the country.

In Korea, scalping is less of a major issue though it still does exist. Most concerts in Korea only allow you to buy a single ticket which is attached to your ID. You can not transfer tickets in Korea officially and only the person who purchases the ticket can pick up that ticket at the venue. Scalpers find buyers and then refund their tickets to free them up for the buyer. This is opposed to Ticketmaster in the US which allows people to buy 6 tickets, price gouges their own tickets with the "platinum" tickets, and allows reselling on their own site.

In Japan, it is illegal to sell tickets above face value which helps considerably.

Multiple accounts, multiple devices, fast internet, having your information preloaded, all of this helps. However when going up against dedicated scalper bots, the odds are stacked against you and there's not much you can do. Ticketmaster in the US doesn't care about scalpers because they benefit from them. If all tickets are sold, that's all they care about since they get their cut. Furthermore, if scalpers buy then many will resell through their website, which allows them to take another cut effectively double dipping. It also allows them to sell their "platinum" tickets which are just official tickets sold at scalper prices so they can make even more money. Its a blatant example of greed.

Its for this reason, I don't attend concerts in the US too often or if I do, avoid going through ticketmaster. In other countries, I will see what tickets I can get and I usually have no problem getting a ticket for a concert at face value.

Only for IU concerts do I do first 1-2 rows but I go through alternative means than scalpers most of the time for those.

For BTS having the membership helps to possibly get in the presale for members. But that never guarantees the tickets.

tips:

- get friends and families to help. my sister, mom, and friends helped me get tickets. super grateful to them tbh lol

- get your card info save onto your Ticketmaster account for a faster checkout. And dont forget to log in!

- use data and wifi. if you know a place that have lots of computers and good wifi, go there. i took advantage of my campus/university library computer lab.

- multiple devices. i always have an ipad, 2 phones, 2 laptops, and my desktop computer all set to go.

- i made sure to get into the virtual waiting room asap; 2-3 hours prior.

i always mentally prepare myself, too so i:

- drank water to calm me down and deep breaths.

- have positive self-talk! I always talk myself through it that i will be able to get the tickets i wanted, which idk if im super lucky but i always got the sections i wanted for all of them.

I got fairly cheap tickets in the first section behind the pit the day before in Raleigh. You’re good.

I bought day of for Cincinnati yesterday, which was my game plan since I seen the show announced. I knew worst case scenario was settling for lawn tickets, but am pretty pleased with the price I paid for two reserved seats.

If you really wanna risk it for the biscuit look for tickets an hour before doors open. I went to the SD show (reunion tour). Flew back to norcal, and said I'd wing it for the Sac show. I did this on advice from here and got great seats. After doors open it's harder to sell tickets bc people plan other things to do instead so prices typically drop.

If you have time before the show you want to attend check tix for the shows before to verify.

No

Buy tickets 90 minutes before the show

I'm a gm of a venue and when it comes to resale it's the day of the show but if you visit ticket master and see tickets available you should be able to buy tickets at the box office

For Tampa months ago around April/may the pit was almost 300 it was like 283 I waited and it went up to almost 500 at the beginning of August/mid July and then about 1-3 days before August 29th I looked again and found some on ticket master for 186.42. All the tickets I looked at were only for the pit bc I didn’t wanna go if I wouldn’t be in the pit. So worth a shot check it out and keep an eye out. On StubHub I found some that were a little higher so I went with Ticketmaster!

Production holds are often released in the days leading up to, or even day of, shows. Often really good seats at reasonable prices, too.

Assuming Ticketmaster is handling sales keep checking their site. Additional tickets are often released 2 to 3 days before the show.

Everyone reselling tickets is by definition a scalper. If you don't mind paying extra most of the resale sites are reasonably safe.

Keep checking Ticketmaster. I once got 2nd row to a sold-out Earth Wind & Fire show, 24 hours before the show started, for face value. (Mike Damone was no help!)

Check out Vivid Seats or Gametime

Cash Or Trade

If possible, buy tickets at the box office and avoid the add-on fees.

Get your tickets from the venue website or the links on the band’s socials.

As for trying to nab tickets, sometimes sales starts a few minutes before they are supposed to. Check when they got up for sale, ready yourself at your computer 15 minutes before, and refresh until you can buy them.

For question 3, that is completely dependent on the location of the venue. I can usually find a spot within a 10 minutes walk when I see shows in Quebec City, but when I have to go to Montreal I tend to park near a subway station and take it to the show.

As for question 4, what type of show are you going to? Outside festival? Big stadium superstar? Niche genre in a relatively small venue?

Go to the venues website, and they should have a spot to purchase tickets. Aside from ridiculous ticketmaster fees, the process is usually pretty painless. Its pretty city dependent, but ive never had an issue getting tickets from the primary source. Id say its worth it to ask in the city subreddit where you're seeing the show and the sub for the performer you're seeing. Theyll be able to give you clearer info on ticket availability and parking

I usually drive myself to the venue and make peace with the fact that its going to take 30-40 minutes to leave the parking garage. Make sure theres gas in your car and you pee before you leave. If you've got the cash to uber several hours to a different city, I'd say get a hotel room. Driving for hours, then seeing a show, and driving hours back is a pretty miserable experience. Being able to crash and drive on a full nights rest is much more comfortable and safe.
