Nothing can come close to seeing your favorite bands and singers in concert! If you’re a big music fan and would love to checkout some concerts this summer without having to pay the big prices checkout these simple tips for finding cheap concert tickets.
- Sign up for newsletters – anytime you’re trying to find a deal you’ll want to sign up for newsletters! This will give you the chance to see when they start a sale or in this case when the tickets go live to order or when they’re hosting a pre-sale on their tickets. Here’s a few you’ll want to start with:
- Ticketmaster
- 365tickets (scroll down to the bottom of the page)
- GetMeIn (scroll down to the bottom of the page)
- Amazon tickets
- You can also get great ticket deals by signing up for your favorite band/singer fan clubs! This may get you the chance to buy tickets at discount prices before they’re publicly available.
- Do your research – Be sure you know the exact dates and time that tickets will go on sale so you don’t miss out. Usually the major sites (listed above) will let you know what’s coming up and give you more information on the concert.
- Don’t buy tickets for the first night – these are usually the most expensive tickets. Also picking a weekday or a weeknight will save you money too. So if your band is playing more than one day be wise in which day you choose to see them.
- Buy Direct from the Venue – this cuts that middle man out! Usually when other sites are selling tickets they charge a booking fee and sometimes a delivery cost as well which can add up.
- Become a Prime Member – sound a little weird? Well Amazon Tickets has become a big deal to the music world and sells tickets to shows, concerts and more! With Prime, you’ll get exclusive access to Amazon tickets during their 24 hour pre-sale! If you do not have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30-day free trial here.
- Watch sites like Groupon and Living Social as well. I’ve seen some good deals on concert tickets and shows that could be fun to attend. You might even be able to use the coupon codes we see all the time for those sites so keep your eyes open.
So who are you hoping to see in concert? Who was your favorite concert you’ve been to? Have any other money saving tips you’d add to the list? Leave a comment and let us know!
