Hi, Long time lurker, first time poster.

How do I register for pre sale tickets for Gigs?

Thanks, Lloyd

  • For the Michael Jackson presale you needed to register on his website. It was the same for U2, but if you'd been a member for ages you got an earlier presale than people who joined up in the last week or so. Welcome to the boards btw, you'll be hooked now lol.

    also sign up with venues as somethimes they have access to presales, ie i know the Manchester Evening news arena does, as does cardiff stadoium and birmingham LG arena, also with companies live nation, as well as artists web sites (ie micheal jackson, nickleback, bon jovi etc) also i tunes sometimes do, for example if you preordered Pinks album, they sent a link for pre-sale as well

    I signed up to Ents24, Live nation, SeeTickets and Ticketmaster. You don't always get presale codes as sometimes (like Metallica and U2) you get them as a perk of being a fan club member, but you can sign up for alerts on your favourite artists so at least you get prior warning the tickets are going on sale! It's also a good idea to go onto the artists official website and sign up if they have a mailing list. I got an email on Tuesday re the Depeche Mode December dates with no mention of a presale, but I then went onto the Depeche Mode official site and hey presto there one was!!
    Good wine needs to breathe, if it stops breathing try mouth to mouth.

    Also try signing up for ticketline and gigsandtours (they run seetickets but have a different newsletter). The O2 newsletter contains presale codes as well. There's a website called beat the touts or something which tends to list presales as they get announced as well. Personally, I'm not sure how well a website like that works as surely the touts just use it too so it's really helping them??

    Stadium? Apart from, say, U2 and Muse, or other bands who've played there and had presales via Ticketmaster, there are no presales for Wembley Stadium. If you're a Club Wembley memeber (eg paid HUNDREDS for your annual seat season ticket for football) you're entitled to first dibs on using your seat for any shows but that's it, as far as I know. I worked at Wembley for more than a year if this helps.

    To clarify - No presale codes for non-greenday members.

    I don't know of any specific presales for Wembley Arena itself, only via bands' official fanclubs, and sometimes 02 and Amex customers get presales via Ticketmaster for shows. (02 customers for 02 venues though so not Wembley Arena).
