Concert tickets can be a bit of a chore to find in a timely, fast manner. For many it will be the first time attending a live show, and the last thing that you’ll want to deal with is a ticket fiasco. An ideal night would be that you park, get through the gate with no issues, and end up listening to your favorite band for the night. Here are some tips to finding the right live concert tickets.
1) Avoid scalpers at all costs. This should be used as a last resort if possible, and even then you’ll need to be leery. Some states don’t allow scalping so you’ll be covered, but in states where they do allow it, you can wind up with fake tickets (which look very real). If you must absolutely buy from a scalper and have exhausted all options, have them walk up to the gate with you. That way once they are scanned and proved to legitimate, you can buy them and feel confident about handing over your money.
2) Plan ahead. Do not wait till the last minute to plan for the night and try to find tickets. You’ll feel pressured, and it’s unneeded stress for an otherwise enjoyable night. Parking at these events can also become a headache if you arrive late. In some cities (if you can even find parking) expect to pay upwards of $30 towards parking and it may not be right near the venue.
3) Buy from a reputable source. There are many places that seem to offer good deals, but shipping times may be slow, you’ll have high fees, and if they aren’t backed by a large network you are definitely running a risk of bad tickets. As always do your due diligence before spending your money online.
Those are 3 suggestions so you can ensure you have great night for all. It’s quite an amazing evening when everything comes together, whether it’s with friends or family. Hopefully these will ensure that everything goes to plan!
