The Art Of Buying Tickets For A Rock Concert For Your Favorite Band
The Art Of Buying Tickets For A Rock Concert For Your Favorite Band
The rush of fans flocking to try and buy or even nab presale or regular tickets for concerts and being successful today is more like gambling and luck than actual skill and that’s including using a fast computer or phone.
Fans nowadays sadly experience a number of issues successfully getting tickets to popular concerts and can find themselves waiting online in the back of 2,000 other people and bots trying to get the same tickets. Gone are the days when I would wake up early and stand in line at Harmony House or drive to the Oakland Mall or Sears. We would go downstairs to where the ticket outlet line was light. I would get Van Halen tickets- and pretty good seats to boot. Gone are the days of standing outside the venue and getting tickets. Today, if you do this, it is a lottery or wristband before the line starts. It never fails- the scalpers always got the good seats.
To see Van Halen in 1986, it cost me $26, and even back then, I complained… In 2015, Van Halen cost me $150. Can’t imagine what the cost would be nowadays.
Fees are becoming a problem, too. I’m far from a Taylor Swift fan, but someone paid $22,000 for one ticket from Ticketmaster. Pearl Jam is trying again to fight for fair ticket prices… Kid Rock does his best to keep tickets affordable too. The only band I would shell out for to see would be bands with upcoming shows like the Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, or Metallica. That’s why I love my job so much… Every day I get to give away tickets to you for free on WCSX and help you get into the hottest rock concerts for free! Nothing makes me happier than giving tickets to someone who may not have been able to see the show otherwise. I hope something happens soon about prices or I will have to take out a second mortgage to buy tickets for a rock concert!
However, while this era of crazy ticket prices and accessibility continues, don’t forget to support your local music artists and venues! Most local places do not charge a cover and if they do it would probably equal two Frappuccinos from Starbucks at most. Plus, they usually have some good beers that won’t charge you an arm and a leg either!
