Katie14 4,828 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Do you get better or cheaper seats? What is the actual point of this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake 7,385 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sometimes you get better seating. Plus it helps the ticket site's servers in a way too so they aren't constantly crashing with every general release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Heart 5,142 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I always get my tickets on presale so I have a better chance of getting them but the price is usually no different. But sometimes they only sell certain sections so they might not be selling the seats you want.

FATCAT 59,049 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think the packages are specific to the pre-sale? I'm not sure. I can't be free if my hands are tied... 🧟♀️👰🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melibi 414 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I go for pre-sale to get the GA tickets before they sell out. But it doesn't always work. I recently tried a Radiohead pre-sale and struck out of anything. Then I got GA tickets during the general sale. It just helps your odds to get the section you're trying for.

How much earlier do you get to buy the tickets with presale? For my date, the tickets are going on sale Feb 20th, would I get to buy them a day before or something?

But it also eases the load of the servers and helps deter scalpers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,847 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It can be hit-and-miss. Sometimes presale seats are great, and sometimes they suck. I've bought presale tickets for concerts before only for better seats to open up on the general on-sale date. If you're getting GA tickets, though, I would definitely consider doing the presale.

I dont really know which is better, GA or seating. Is GA cheaper? Are you saying GA sells out faster? Would I have to wait in line all day to get a good GA spot?

I don't do GA tickets because 1) I always have to travel, and I don't have time to spend 12-24 hours standing in line to get a good spot, and 2) I'm too damn old to have the patience to deal with a bunch of screaming fans jumping all over me. GA is cheaper than the seats that are closest to the stage, though, so if you want to be as close as possible without spending much money, GA is the way to go. As for how quickly GA sells out, that varies from venue to venue. For example, I'm seeing Green Day in September. Most of the seats have sold out, but there are still a ton of GA tickets available, while in the past, for some of Gaga's shows, GA tickets sold out fairly quickly.

My show is on a sunday so I can wait all day if I have to, I just dont know how early I should reasonably get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some hardcore people sometimes start camping out 24 hours in advance, but not always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
