How to get good concert tickets

concertfan · 04-01-2009, 10:17 AM

can anyone tell me what is the best way to get concert tickets? I am a big rock and alternative rock fan, I can never find good seats once the tickets go onsale and then I find that prices have gone up astronomically. any suggestions or inputs on this?

Quit going to mainstream shows.

As far as I can tell, it's pretty much a matter of being quick on the draw and/or lucky as hell.

Or to just have a ton of money for scalpers.

ticket master is definitely not an option and secondary seller tend to be more expensive. I heard, though, that newer sites offer relatively better deals. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?

Buy your tickets at the venue's box office the day they go on sale.

Another suggestion: stop going to shows with seats.

And if the shows halfway decent you shouldn't need them anyways.
