How To Get Great Seats At Concerts - Backstage
Still here? Ok good. One of the main things that people contact me about is how their artist went on sale and they didn't even know about it. You can be sure your up to date with your favorite artists by using ticketmasters: Ticket Alert Performer Alert Venue Alert It's all self-explanatory but if you're a little slow I'll explain it to you. Basically, once you set up your favorite artist / venue, ticketmaster will automatically alert you before your tickets go on sale.
To set up your ticket alert simply log in to your created account (you did create one right?) and specify your artists and venues. Ticketmaster now enables wireless alerts via text messaging for certain artists and venues: Sign up to receive a Wireless Alert by clicking on the link "Get a text message reminder" on an Event Page or on a Performer Alert email. If there is no link on the Event Page, the event is not eligible for Wireless Alerts or tickets are (or have been) on sale for that event. Complete the Wireless Alerts sign up page by entering your 10 digit mobile number and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions.
GETTING YOUR TICKETS
All right now lets take care of your browsers. If you're running Windows grab these three - Explorer, Firefox (www.firefox.com) and Opera. If your running MAC OSX - Safari, Firefox and Camino Why do I need three different browsers???
Simple, choices.
Lets say you've been notified early via Ticketmasters Ticket Alert that your favorite artist is going on sale at precisely 10 A.M. Pacific time.
Here is what you need to do
1. Open all three browsers
2. Log into your Ticketmaster account with each browser
3. Get onto the for sale page around 9:45 A.M.
4. DON'T keep refreshing your page - Ticketmaster can block you if you do this.
5. Wait until 9:58 A.M. until you start refreshing (one browser for now)
6. Once you are able to select tickets refresh all your browsers and input your data
7. Put in your amount of seats desired and select "Best Available" IN EACH BROWSER!!!
8. Get to the page where you can see your seats, if you like them BUY THEM.
TIP: If you find a pair of tickets that you like in one browser, take it to the BILLING page where you can "hold them" for a few minutes while you search on your other browser for more seats.
TIP: If you and a friend want to attend the same show, teach him this technique and wake his/her lazy butt up to help you out.
TIP: Try selecting "LOWER FLOOR" instead of "BEST AVAILABLE." I've scored a couple times doing this.
Don't worry if you get snuffed or if your seats suck. Be persistent, many times Ticketmaster releases a new batch of tickets every 15 minutes or so to deter scalpers. Just keep using the technique.
