We’ve all been there, our favorite artist has announced an exciting new tour or the latest summer festival lineup has been announced, and we for sure want to get in on that. However, so does everyone else and that means a desperate fight to get tickets – one which quite often ends up in disappointment.
The good news is that, although there is no 100 percent certain way of getting tickets for that important gig or event, there are some things you can do to push the odds further in your favor…
Access the Presale

Lots of music events, theatre shows and other gigs now have presales and these sales, perhaps, give you your best chance of getting the tickets you seek. Of course, in order to access the presales, you usually have to be signed up to a specific credit card or other product, who are offering those presales. So, ensure that you’re signed up for any relevant services that offer presales, even if you never use the service, it’ll be worth it to get those tickets you seek.
Join the Fan Club
Music isn’t what we do, it’s who we are!
If there are bands or musicians that you’re passionate about, then sign up to their fan clubs, if they have one, and you will often receive exclusive presale links, codes and even VIP packages that can be purchased only by members, again increasing your chances of success.
Check Social Media
Epic Apps You Should Try Today
