2) Hope you have a credit card that partners with the artist to get first round of presale
3) Sign up for Ticketmaster Fan verification and select up to three shows.
4) Hope you are selected for one of the shows.
5) Get selected 20 hour before presale on one card. No luck on the other two.
6) Log into Ticketmaster 15 minutes before sale.
7) Enter Lobby
8) Enter Waiting Room with 10 minuted before start
9) Enter Queue..."2000+ People Ahead of you"
10) Wait for twenty minutes..."The Queue Has Been Temporarily Paused"
11) Wait...Wait...Wait...Plan alternative Christmas present...wait.
I haven't even gotten to pricing. Ticketmaster does dynamic pricing so I'm not abandoning my place.
God knows what they will be like for the regular sale. They also do their own scalping. The now charger 3x to another show I did get tickets for.
I miss going to the Record Bar in the mall and just getting tickets.
