The Best Tickets Are Already Gone

September 5, 2008 - If you like going to concerts, you can probably relate to what many other concert enthusiasts have been experiencing. Buying tickets via the TicketMaster website or telephone system can be nearly impossible for popular events. Those lucky enough to get through often find that the "good seats" have already disappeared in the first few minutes of the sale.

  What Happened to the Good Tickets?
    The concert sold out. What was the trick to getting the good tickets? Many people don't realize that the ticket supply is often dwindling long before the public ticket sale. Fan club and presale events, radio station giveaways, and other promotions account for a sizable portion of the most desirable tickets. Generally, the best tickets are given away or sold before the public has a chance to buy. The first tickets sold in a public sale are often many rows back, behind the fan club members, radio contest winners, and corporate sponsors.

  The Good Tickets are For Sale - Later
    Ticket buyers often complain that true fans are punished  by being forced to pay higher prices from ticket brokers to buy the tickets that were unavailable from the public sale. The truth is, in fact, the opposite. The best tickets are unavailable to virtually everyone in the beginning, but become available to the most devoted fans after those tickets are bought from ticketholders by ticket brokers.

    Legal, licensed ticket brokers provide a safe, secure way for music fans to buy great tickets at market value. Many brokers will also buy consumers' unused tickets and resell them. The simple fact is that there are only a limited number of tickets for sale to any event. Like anything else, as the demand increases,  so does the price. It is much safer to buy tickets from a licensed broker than to buy tickets on the street or through an internet auction or classified ad website. Tickets available through such websites are sometimes counterfeit, stolen, or being sold illegally. Ticket Brokers, on the other hand, are licensed, legal, and most confirm to the NATB Code of Ethics.

  Choosing a Ticket Broker
    Buying from a ticket broker is as easy as choosing your seats on the broker's website, entering your payment information, and waiting for the mail (or in many cases, the FedEx truck).  Buying is easy, but not all ticket brokers are the same. While many brokers share the same inventory, they are free to charge whatever they want for tickets. Because of this, it pays to do your homework and buy only from the best brokers.
