What if show is sold out or my desired seats aren’t available?
If you missed out on getting tickets for a sold out show often they release tickets to the show on the day of the performance. They usually hold a few tickets to sell on the day of the show. Try traditional ways. For larger shows once the stage is set up they often release prime seats next to the stage. Also if you check back with ticketmaster (on-line recommended) semi-regularly after is ‘sold-out’ you may be able to get a single ticket or returns. I did this for U2 long after the show was said to be officially sold-out. Some shows will also open up seats behind the stage as the date gets closer or even on the day of the show. It is different when you are behind the stage and gives a unique perspective Try to win contests – I have been to many shows by winning on the radio or from the paper. Ticket brokers are in many cities and online but often charge more than most people would and should pay for the shows. eBay can be a prime source of tickets at many price ranges depending on the seats. . Different States and countries have regulations regarding the resale of tickets. Some places have no restrictions and others will not allow you to sell (or buy) for more that face value.
