If you have a passion for going to concerts, you probably already know that it can be a rather expensive pursuit. There is a lot of work that goes into coming up with a stage performance. And if you want to see a prominent performer or band, this might drive up the price of tickets quite drastically. However, the good news is that you can still save money on event tickets by relying on the following tactics: 1. Purchase Closer To Showtime When tickets initially go on sale, they are more expensive. As the performance date gets closer, ticket prices usually come down. If you can wait, you may also have greater luck snagging tickets at the popular event ticket centers. Apart from that, tickets can be purchased from early purchasers who will not be attending, as well as from resellers who acquire tickets in large quantities for the sole purpose of reselling them. There are some brokers who would hold on to their tickets until the day of the concert and then sell them at a hefty discount to avoid losing money. 2. Utilize The Reward Points On Your Credit Card You may use your credit card points to purchase tickets that are offered by major credit card companies before they go on sale to the general public. These tickets are typically offered at costs lower than those charged through the venue's box office. Pre-sale codes are sometimes required to get exclusive credit card discounts, more so if you are purchasing from a partnered event tickets center. You can use the first six digits of your card number or the support phone number listed on the back of your card for this. 3. Activate Price Notifications Indeed, sometimes waiting until the last minute in the hopes of snagging a discount ticket makes it tough to organize your time since you cannot be sure whether or not you will be attending the event. It might be annoying to have to check ticket sites every day in the hopes of finding an affordable seat. Guess what? Mobile apps of certain ticket resale services deliver constant price notifications. After deciding on the show you wish to attend, you may choose your maximum bid price. The service will alert you as soon as tickets at that price become available, allowing you to purchase them before anybody else does. 4. Be Smart About Picking Your Seat In larger arenas, some seats will naturally have a better view than others, and they will typically cost more. If you're prepared to sit in the very last row, or even two rows behind a pillar, you can see a performance (or at least most of it) for far less money than the person two rows in front of you. If the thought of missing too much is keeping you from purchasing tickets, several venues' websites allow you to view a picture preview of the view from a certain spot. Besides, if you are okay sitting alone, you may save money on your ticket. Tickets sold in blocks tend to sell faster and at a higher price than those sold individually. Thus, as the event date approaches, venues and event ticket centers are typically eager to offer single tickets at a discount.
