Introduction
- Standing in the audience at one of your favorite musical artists' shows is an incredible feeling. Over the last decade, however, concert tickets have become more and more expensive, making it difficult for even the biggest of fans to cough up the cash. Have no fear! There are a few money saving strategies you can apply to your next ticket hunt that will have you feeling good about heading out to see a live show.
Step 1: Radio Station Contests
- Big and small acts alike are just as excited to have you come to their shows as you are to go. Concert promoters know this, and so they will often give radio stations in the surrounding areas tickets to use as promotional tools for the concert. Lucky listeners can find themselves in possession of a pair of tickets to their favorite act just by persistently calling into the radio station. Of course, there are no guarantees with this method, but everyone has a chance, and free is always better than cheaper!
Step 2: Want Ads

- Let's face it, things come up sometimes that prevent us from attending events we plan for. When this happens, and someone winds up stuck with an extra concert ticket or two, they may run an advertisement in the local paper, or even on Craigslist.com to try and get some of their money back.
Step 3: Online Retailers
- There are hundreds of online retailers today that specialize in cheap, competitive concert ticket prices. Do your homework before you buy from one of these sites. Make sure they are a reputable dealer before you give out your credit card information.
Step 4: Personal Contacts
- If you have personal connections in the music or even the promotional business, you may be able to get discounted and even free tickets by letting them know in advance that you're interested in attending the show. Be sure that if you do score tickets through this method, you send a thank you and show them how grateful you are for the opportunity.
Step 5: Outside the Show
- Scalping tickets is illegal in many states, but sometimes things come up. You may meet up with someone outside the venue who had an extra ticket, but wasn't able to find someone to attend with them. As it gets closer to starting time, they may be willing to sell the ticket for a good price.
Conclusion
Next time you want to check out your favorite artist or band live, don't give up just because of escalating ticket costs! If you are willing to invest some extra time, you can find cheaper options. The above tips are a great starting point to finding cheaper seats the next time your favorite band comes into town.About this page
