Lil' Wayne was born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. on September 27, 1982 in Hollygrove, a poor area in New Orleans, Louisiana. Cash Money CEO Brian Williams aka Birdman was introduced to Lil' Wayne by a mutual friend and decided to work with him. In 1999, after several collaborations with other rappers under the Cash Money label and enjoying success in the group The Hot Boys, Lil' Wayne released his first solo album named "Tha Block Is Hot". The album went double platinum and in 2002 Wayne followed it up with "Lights Out" which went gold similar to his third solo album "500 Degrees". It was the album "The Carter" that shot Wayne to superstar status. He enjoyed commercial success and was listed in Billboard hot 100 charts and R&B/Hip Hop Charts. The second album to the trilogy was "The Carter II". This album sold over 1.8 million copies and Lil' Wayne's third album in the trilogy was "Tha Carter III" which received rave reviews.

Usually after an artist releases an album, they will support it by going on tour. Lil' Wayne however will not be doing this because he has been incarcerated at Riker's Island prison since March 8, 2010. He plead guilty on felony gun charges and with good behavior he is expected to be released within 8 months. Once released however, the superstar rapper might be going on tour, and when he does you can use the information below to obtain tickets to his show.

Once Lil' Wayne goes on tour your want to make sure you are aware of what the Lil' Wayne tour dates and locations are. If you want to go to one of his shows you will have to make sure he will be performing at a venue nearby. The best way to do this is to go to his official website; Lilwayne-online.com. Click on the 'Show' button and you will be taken to a page that will inform you about any current and upcoming shows. Often times you can purchase tickets by clicking a 'Buy Tickets' link that will take you to one of the ticket vendor's websites. On Wayne's official website, you can also join his mailing list. This way you will be updated on news surrounding the artist and any upcoming tour dates and shows. Other websites you can go to for tour dates and locations include:

• ■ TicketMaster.com
• ■ LiveNation.com
• ■ Stubhub.com
• ■ Pollstar.com

Often the ticket retailers also have email updates available that you can sign up for. Just go to their website, enter the artists name in to the search box, and opt to receive email updates when new tour information is available. Another thing to keep in mind when purchasing tickets is that only a certain number of tickets are allowed to be purchased per person. The concert promoter/sponsor does this to prevent scalpers from purchasing tickets in bulk only to re-sell them.http://www.myreg.net/checkform?force_form=1&form_id=13713

Hardcore Lil' Wayne fans and those that just want to have a good seat during one of Lil' Wayne's shows, can try to purchase tickets during pre-sale events. The concert promoter/sponsor will often set up a day where tickets will be sold only to fan club members or people that registered on the Lil' Wayne website. These people will often receive a password in their email that they can use to purchase these tickets. Pre-sale tickets are often sold online and guarantee the purchaser a seat during the show. You will be able to choose the seat of your choice before the general public since the pre-sale is always a day or so before the general public has access to the tickets. The number of tickets sold during a pre-sale event is usually a good way for the concert promoter to estimate how well the event will do and whether or not it will sell out. Pre-sale ticket purchasers are also limited to purchasing a certain number of tickets.

If you are not a fan club member or not registered on Lilwayne-official.com, there are other ways to get this password. Websites like presalepassword.net allow you to become a member for a small fee and can provide you with passwords to various pre-sale events.http://presalepassword.net/what-is-a-presale.asp

When it comes to purchasing the actual Lil' Wayne show tickets, you have several options. You can purchase tickets through the Internet, by phone or by going to the box office of the venue where the show will be. Using the Internet is often the fastest and easiest way is to purchase tickets. You don't have to go by customer service hours or by the hours that the box office is open because the Internet is 'open' 24/7. You can just go online at your own leisure and order your tickets. Tickets can be purchased at websites such as Ticketmaster.com. You can also try going to Lilwayne-official.com to purchase tickets.

If you are late purchasing tickets, you might risk the show being sold out or being stuck with tickets for bad seats. If you don't mind a bad seating arrangement, which can even include obstructed views, you will be able to save some money since these tickets are substantially cheaper. In case of a sold out show you can either try winning tickets from local radio stations that often have contests for free tickets or you can go to websites like E-Bay or Craig's List. Here you will find listings of tickets that are being sold by individual sellers. These tickets can be very cheap because either people are desperate to sell them before the show date or they are expensive.http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=concert+tickets&_sacat=See-All-Categories
