What are some creative ideas for getting tickets to a sold out concert?

Answer by  jclick (1561)

Try websites like Craigslist or Ebay if you are willing to pay more than face value for the concert. Also, try telling all of your friends that you are trying to get tickets, maybe one of them knows someone with an extra ticket or you could by scalped tickets.

You may be able to win tickets from giveaways at your local radio station. Other than that check craigslist, or post a wanted ad on craigslist. Many people buy large amounts of tickets to sell on craigslist, just be aware that you may have to pay a lot more for the ticket than what they originally sold for.

Call the box office and ask if anyone has cancelled out. Use craigslist to let folks know you are looking. Also, look for contests to enter. Go online to look for these contets. Buyer beware, though-if you buy a ticket on the street it could be a fake and not accepted!

Sometimes you can get tickets to sold out concerts by winning them from radio or television stations. You can usually enter on line and also by calling in. Most stations usually have a contest of some kind where you can win tickets.

The most common way is to find a 'scalper', or in other words someone who buys tickets when they are on sale then sells them again when they are sold out. The downside to this is that usually scalpers charge unreasonable prices for the tickets. Another solution would be to check the craigslist 'tickets' department.

One night when I was closing the shop a last minute customer walked through the door and low and behold wanted to trade a ticket to White Zombie that was playing that evening. 35 minutes later he had a new tattoo and I was on my way to the show.
