I'm trying to get a pair of tickets that go on sale this weekend for a show in New York through Ticket Master. Any tips or suggestions other than one person on the phone hitting "redial" and the other person online hitting "refresh?" Appreciate the help!
It's not really a "New York, New York!" kinda show...it's Gwen Stefani at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater. Tips? Anyone?
A couple of weeks ago I bought tickets to the Bob Seger concert in Phoenix. A few things: * If you use the Internet site, make sure you don't make any typos. I made a typo and it kicked me back to the end of the queue. Instead of the floor level seats I was going to get, I ended up having to get upper level seats. * I just kept hitting "refresh" every 15 seconds or so until I got in. It was depressing seeing the "wait time" go from 2 minutes to 3 minutes to 8 minutes to 10 minutes, but it goes back down quickly. Your show may sell out more quickly since it's a theater show instead of an arena show. Hopefully you can get the tickets through "Ticketbastard" instead of having to pay a scummy scalper. Good luck!
Well, I got the tickets...pretty good ones too. In case anyone is wonder how to best go about getting tickets for events (in North America anyway), here's a few tips. I used Ticketmaster. Find out the date and time the tickets go on sale for the city in which the event is taking place. Use the internet. Calling is practically useless. It's a good idea to have a log-in account already set-up with Ticketmaster including your credit card info. Have a map of the seating for your event handy. Don't just jump in and use their "best seats possible" without looking at all available seats. Sometimes your "best seats" idea is better than what they think. Another option is to use www.tickco.com which are premium seats sold by season event holders and such. You'll get killer seats but be prepared to pay dearly or blow someone! So, that's my experience. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Hope this is helpful to someone, somewhere, sometime! Cheers. P.S. It was suggested to me from someone that worked for Ticketmaster to use .com for events in the US and .ca for events in Canada.
