But first, ask yourself, are you desperate to be there when BTS rocks the floor? If yes, then you are reading the right article. Here we have rounded up some tips for your assistance. Let’s check out.
1. Try reaching out to multiple retailers
Most concerts stay in high demand, which leads to the immediate booking of tickets. So first things first, you must have a list of some trustworthy ticket providers. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket and enqueue as many retailers as possible. Having a list of retailers will increase your chance of getting the ticketspurchase from whoever is quickest in reserving or has the best seats.
There are multiple credible websites to offer help. Do a bit of research over the internet, and you will find numerous platforms to book your tickets. The benefit of searching online is you can simultaneously surf through many of them. If one booker has sold out, you can readily approach the other. Make an account on these websites, and you are good to go.
Even after having all these setups, sometimes luck isn’t with you. The box office is another bell you can ring in such misfortunes. They sell passes over the phone, online as well as in-person. But make sure you check before reaching out to them.
2. Utilize all means of notifications
You can take the first-mover advantage for reserving seats in your favorite concerts. The chances of getting a ticket keep reducing as time passes. You can avail yourself the early bird discounts and a lot of other incentives by reacting timely. Join the mailing lists of event organizations, and they will notify you when exciting events are around the corner.
Apart from mailing lists, most event organizations also have social media accounts. You can connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, etc. These social media platforms are not only a good source of news but also a source of joy.
You should also signup for your favorite performer’s mailing lists and follow them on social media. Singers usually announce their tours directly via websites or media channels. So it’s always good to stay tuned and informed.
3. Dig your claws into presales
Presale offers are the cherry on the cake. There are a massive amount of fans getting their hungry claws on the presales. Most of the reservations for musical concerts are completed beforehand via presale packages.
Most of the artists have a website or fanbase where you can register for presales. Not only fan pages but credit card companies & sponsors also offer tickets to their loyal customers. You can hunt your seats by engaging with them as well. However, do keep in mind that there are thousands of fans doing the same. So it’s not going to be that easy. But still, it’s worth a try.
4. Buck yourself up!
Alright, now comes the stressful part. Deep breaths, cold sweats, and nerves! The last few minutes before the on-sale time are the most difficult. Millions of fans fight to buy tickets at the same time. Can you imagine that the music industry sells an average of 50 million tickets annually? Now you know that you stand in a competition of millions. So it is a matter of minutes before all the counters hover “Sold out” signs.
You will have to kill your competition by preparing before the sale begins. Get ready by setting up a personal account on all the enqueued ticket websites. Register your billing information and contact details. It will save your precious time after the sale starts.
Hop online at least ten minutes before the tickets go on sale. Open each retailer’s website in an individual browser. Once you log in, keep refreshing the page unless you book one. Looks weird? Yeah maybe. But this is what you need to do for high-demand tickets.
5. Keep trying till the show begins.
Just in case you were unsuccessful in booking tickets by all the means. Try visiting the respective venue’s box office for delayed ticket releases. You can also find some season-ticket holders releasing their tickets in the end.
Don’t forget to avoid scalpers while looking for these tickets, whether physically or virtually. There is a wicked world waiting for you to get frustrated and buy theirs overvalued tickets.
Still, if you fail to get your pass and it’s the 11th hour, play the lottery. Hopefully, you’ll get the last-minute giveaways on the artist’s official social media accounts. Track these freebies on their social media accounts, organizer’s accounts, fan bases, and even local radio stations. It is your last chance, and you may make it. All you need to do is to play smart and stay vigilant.
