Getting Tickets to a Sold-Out Show

When The Dave Mathews Band came to town last year, I desperately wanted to see this concert, but by the time I heard about it, the show was sold out. I didn’t let that stop me; I did a little searching and came across a ticket broker who could get me tickets. I put in my order and 10 minutes later I had the tickets on the way. All I asked for were the best seats available, paid with a credit card on a secure site, and had verification that the concert tickets were on the way by overnight express.

The next day when the concert tickets came in the mail I stashed them in my wallet and didn’t think about them again until the night of the show. When my date and I arrived at the concert hall, I pulled out the tickets and handed them to the usher who then showed us to our seats. I had paid a pretty nice price for these tickets and just assumed that was because the show had been sold out and the tickets were hard to get. When I had specified I wanted the best seats available I didn’t expect to get best seats in the house. But that’s what I got; two concert tickets on the front row, preferred seating. The cost of the tickets were the same as they were on the other ticket website so I didn’t get charged anything extra for this awesome service. We were so close I could reach out and touch Dave’s leg. I didn’t, of course, but I could have if I wanted to.

Now if I want to see a concert I use a concert ticket broker who can always get me the best seats no matter how long I wait to order my tickets. The price is just a bit more than ordering them direct from the usual ticket website and they are always mailed the next day by overnight express.

I missed out on so many concerts over the years because I waited too long to get my concert tickets; now I don’t have to worry about that. I love watching bands play live concerts and I try to see every one that I can.

I’ve been to five different concerts over the past year and every one of those concerts I got my tickets from concert ticket brokers online. I am always able to get excellent seats and even got a backstage pass for one concert. Maybe I’m a little selfish but I don’t tell my friends where I get my tickets. I like to make them think I have connections in high places.
