How to Bag Cheap Concert Tickets - 5 Successful Methods!

By Alberta Horne


Isn't it a dream come true to bag cheap concert tickets for the live performances of your favorite artists? Unfortunately, this kind of scenario does not always happen so we are left with nothing but our sets of DVDs and televised programs of these concerts to watch. The good thing here is that getting affordable tickets of a concert is not actually impossible, given that you know how to look for cheap offers.

You can make your dreams into realities with the help of these five steps that will guide you how to bag discounted, if not free, concert tickets.

1.) Plug in your radio- radio stations are very helpful when it comes to reminding you about concert schedules and giving you free tickets through their raffles. You just need to have a talent in dialing and you are bound to win more than just a ticket for yourself.

All you need to do is to give yourself a high chance in being the right caller by practicing doing fast dials and redials to the radio station's number. Preprogramming the number on your mobile or landline phone can also help a lot because with this, you'll only need to push one button to dial. Also, do not worry if you miss the raffle of one station because usually concert promoters contact a few radio stations to advertise their program. Hence, more opportunities for you and your free concert tickets.

2.) If you do not have a problem with going with strangers to the concert, then you can also get access to cheap concert tickets by waiting for singleton seats. This is also good if you intend to watch the concert alone. Singleton seats are vacant seats that are in between strangers.

You can get singleton seats shortly before the show starts, so you need to come early to get the best seats that are still available. Remember that this works for one person only, so if you are planning a date, you might want to consider sitting separately if there are no more available tickets that are side-by-side.

3.) Sometimes, people who have spare tickets also sell these at a discounted price. You can get singleton seats a few minutes before the concert starts. Make sure that you have the money prepared for the ticket, and avoid showing the seller that you will offer more. It would help if you have a separate wallet where the lowest amount you are willing to pay is stashed.

Remember that the main goal here is that you get to purchase really cheap concert tickets, so being extra polite to sellers is also necessary. You have to remember that sellers like these can simply walk out and look for other buyers if they can sense your unpreparedness to have a peaceful negotiation with them. Just add a little dash of politeness in your demeanor first and you are most likely to snag the ticket you've been dying to have.

4.) Trace any friends that you have who are connected to the concert industry. If ever you have some, simply request for them to keep you updated with the latest and upcoming gigs of your favorite artists and inquire if there is a chance for you to acquire cheap passes from them.

5.) If the concert is not yet due for a few months, you can use this opportunity to buy off-season tickets, which are more inexpensive when compared with tickets to concerts that are almost happening. This would mean that you need to be updated with the concerts that are being planned and ask ticket sellers to inform you when the tickets will be released.

Now that you know what to do to get cheap concert tickets, you can easily squeeze the concert schedules in your calendar so that you will not forget when they are due. There wouldn't be any fun if you have at last bought the tickets but forgot to attend, right? A concert may be coming in a few weeks, so you should start looking for cheap deals now!
