Owl City is the name of a musical project by Adam Young. Young was living at his parents house in Owatonna, Minnesota when he was having sleepless nights. He started making a electronic synthpop type of music and ended up uploading it to his MySpace website. The music started becoming quite popular and attracted many people. One of the songs Hello Seattle became quite popular and this lead to Young being signed by the Universal Republic label. After his numerous independent releases, Owl City's debut album was released in 2009. The album was named Ocean Eyes and features the hit song Fireflies.http://mog.com/music/Owl_City/biohttp://www.last.fm/music/Owl+City/+wiki

Step 1: Find Owl City Tour Dates
If you want to go to an Owl City concert or performance you will have to find out tour dates and locations. You want to make sure there is a location nearby and you also want to see if tickets have gone on sale or ready. If they haven't, you can find out when they will. The best place to find concert dates and locations is on the official Owl City website; Owlcitymusic.com. Here you can click on the 'Shows' tab which will result in a list of upcoming shows. You will also see that for a large part of the tour dates Owl City will be the supporting act for Maroon 5. Several dates are also scheduled on John Mayer's tour. You will be presented with the option to purchase tickets for the date of your choice. You can do this by clicking the 'Buy Tickets' tab. When you do this you will be taken to a ticket retailer's website where you can complete your purchase. The purchasing website you will be redirected to might be more focused on the headlining act than the supporting act.http://www.owlcitymusic.com/shows.aspx
If you don't want to keep checking the official Owl City website for new tour dates, you can go to Ticketmaster.com. Here you can sign up to receive so called 'Ticket Alerts' when new tour dates are announced.http://www.ticketmaster.com/ticketalerts/
Step 2: Owl City Pre-Sale Tickets
If you are a big fan of Owl City, or if you want to guarantee yourself good seats during the show, you can look to purchase tickets during the pre-sale. Concert promoters/sponsors will put tickets on sale to a select crowd before the general ticket sale. Ticket pre-sale dates can be one or more days. The select crowd is usually made up of fan club members or people that hold certain credit cards. Since Owl City is opening for Maroon 5 during the majority of the tour, the pre-sale tickets are available to Maroon 5 fan club members. The pre-sale date can be found out on the website of the ticket retailer. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased with the help of a pre-sale password that fan club members automatically get emailed to them.http://www.ticketmaster.com/h/help.html?tm_link=tm_homeA_ql_4http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/080044A7B0AD3B8E?artistid=824144&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1
If you are not a Maroon 5 fan club member, you can still find out this pre-sale password. Keeping track of Maroon 5 fan blogs is one way. Another way to obtain the pre-sale password is by going to Presalepassword.net. This website will sell the password to you for a small fee or [[membership].http://presalepassword.net/what-is-a-presale.asp
Step 3: Where & How To Buy Owl City Concert Tickets
Before you can go to a Owl City concert, you will have to purchase tickets. Some popular website where you can purchase tickets include:
- ■ Ticketmaster.com
- ■ Livenation.com
- ■ Stubhub.com
- ■ Ticketsnow.com
- ■ Razorgator.com
Concert tickets can be purchased in various ways. You can choose to purchase concert tickets over the phone, on the Internet or at the box office of the venue where Owl City will be performing. Probably the most common and easiest way to purchase tickets is by going online. Because the Internet is 'open' 24/7 you can purchase the tickets at your own leisure. Keep in mind that when purchasing tickets online you will have to pay a convenience fee. You can avoid this fee by going to the box office to purchase your tickets. However, you may risk the show being sold out. Websites like Ticketmaster and Livenation give you the option to have the tickets delivered by mail or you can pick them up from the Will Call window at the venue. If you prefer, you can even instantly print your tickets after purchasing them.http://www.ticketmaster.com/h/faq.html#buying
If the Owl City show of your choice is sold out, your option is to listen to the local radio stations. Sometimes they will have ticket giveaways or ticket contests where you can win free tickets to upcoming shows. Another, more guaranteed way to find tickets for sold out shows is to go on E-Bay or Craig's List. Here you will find that private sellers offer concert tickets to buyers.http://www.concertticketsearch.com/Craigslist-For-Concert-Tickets.htmlhttp://tickets.ebay.com/
