Introduction

Event tickets can be expensive. Taking advantage of pre-sale ticket times and using the right websites and coupons to purchase the tickets from can help you save money on your purchase. Compare the ticket prices at several different sites before making your purchase.

 

Step 1

Visit a ticket vending website such as Ticketmaster. These sites sell tickets to a variety of concerts, shows and plays. You can search for the name of the event you want to purchase the tickets for or search by venue or city and state. Choose the date and time of the event you want to attend and choose the tickets or seats that you wish to purchase. Add the amount of tickets you need to your shopping cart and start the checkout process. Enter your payment information and choose if you want to print the tickets, pick them up from the venue or have them mailed to your home. If you choose to have the tickets mailed, make sure your order them at least two week in advance so they have time to make it to your home before the day of the event.

Step 2

Check online auction sites such as eBay. Many people will list their unwanted event tickets on auction sites to sell them. Search for the tickets by event name or browse through the ticket section of the listing. Click on a ticket description to read more about the tickets including the date, time and location of the even and the number of tickets available to buy or bid on. Choose the amount of tickets you need and bid or use the buy it now option to purchase them. Enter you PayPal or credit card information and print or have the tickets mailed to your home.

Step 3

Visit online classified sites such as Craigslist. When people have more tickets than they need or no longer wish to attend an event they purchased ticket for, they will post them on classified sites. You can type in the name of the tickets you are looking for in the search box or browse by your city and state or the venue city and state to find tickets for sale. Make arrangements with the seller to pickup and pay for the tickets.

Step 4


Contact the venue for ticket prices. Many venue will have special pre-sale days where they will offer tickets at a cheaper price. You can visit the venue website or contact their customer service department to order the tickets you need. Arrange to have the tickets sent to your home or pick them up from the venue ticket window.

Step 5

Visit online coupon websites to find deals on ticket sales. These sits will list coupons codes, promotion codes and links to websites that offer event and show tickets. Click on the link or copy the codes and place them in the appropriate box on the website where you order the tickets for the show. Be sure to check expiration dates and terms and conditions of the coupons before trying to order the tickets.

Tips

Check newspapers and listen for radio ads to find out about special deals on the tickets you want.
