Have to say that I would agree with the above and say that you need to register for pre-sales, although they are not always the best seats, and also be online etc when tickets go on sale.
We have recently had great seats for ELO and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, which sold out quickly, but I was ready to book when the tickets went on sale.0 -
With the popular bands and singers, you can't just happen to remember. You need to be a member of mailing lists and follow on social media to see when tickets will be released.
From then it is a case of logging in to the Ticketmaster website before sale opens. This is how I have done it in the past!
As for if tickets are sold out, I have bought tickets from eBay before, but also tweeting or posting a FB post saying you need a ticket has worked also.0 -
To be honest I am sure the government is trying to regulate the sale of tickets because of firms like Ticketmaster making it impossible for individuals to buy. I tried to buy Adele tickets and was on the phone for 4 hours. When I finally got through the only ones left were £850.00 each!! WOW.
I think Benners123 is right and try eBay. Good luck :-)0 -
It seems you can find some tickets from £145 at stubhub0

I think the best way is to check the official website of the artist. Once I bought tickets on eBay0
