Help... where's the best place to buy tickets?

Post by skydivekel »

Can anyone relay information about the best possible way to get tickets to the Houston show? What are your trusted ways? Ticketmaster? Ticketbrokers? pre-sales?
Thank you....

If you dont get them via ticketmaster I suggest Ebay. Just make sure its a seller with a lot of feedback. I would not buy right away either. I always wait until the week of the show to get mine. I usually end up paying under face value that way to. There is also a ticket exchange on this site that sells for face value only. Good luck and if you go ebay just wait it out until closer to concert time. I have always been lucky that way..

I dont think Houston is having a presale. Some of those presales are done by ticket brokers also. I would never do a presale from a broker. Get the exact same tickets a week before the concert for half the price. I guess if money doesnt matter then hit a broker up. There really is no need to use a broker for a pre sale. Just wait till after the show is on sale and all the excitement passes. Ticket prices drop...

If you get shut out of TM try the ticket exchange here first. you might be able to help someone out by buying their extras. We are only allowed to be sell at face + fees here so that is your best bet. Also make sure you buy from someone who has a lot of posts since there are lurkers there who try to scam sometimes. I would also only buy hard tickets not fast tix.

I am new to the site. Are there ticket drops for JB shows like there are for other artists? A ticket drop is tickets that are released after the onsale date and usually the few days leading up to a show. At another fan site we have a concerted effort to notify each other about tickets that are released later. Thanks for any info.

yes, there usually are drops the week before for like sets of two, but notification is hit and miss.
