Buying tickets at MSG the day of a concert?

[Smartazz]

I'm seeing a Muse concert in three weeks and a friend of mine wants to come along, but doesn't know if he could make it yet. The show is at Madison Square Garden, would it be possible to buy tickets the day of the show assuming it doesn't sell out? Thanks in advance.

You may purchase tickets for events on sale to the public at any of our venues at any one of our respective Box Offices, during their Box Office hours.

Looks good.

Okay, thanks a lot man. Good to hear it from someone in the area.
edit: So if I really wanted to, I could go down the NYC and buy the tickets right now?(of course I wouldn't do that, but if I am in the area I would consider it).

Muse? It'll probably sell out.

Yup, good band.

They sell out pretty much every show, but MSG is such a large venue, so IDK.

I took a look at Ticketmaster's site and the best tickets available are pretty high up, which would probably mean that the show is almost sold out right?

Nice, I considered getting tickets to that show instead since I'll be in the area for that show too.

Wow, Muse is playing at MSG? I've seen them twice in a small venue here in Columbus (in the front row of the pit for part of the time, no less )

You can buy tickets to any show at any time from the box office.
Easy yet depressing Knicks tickets FTL.

Yeah, I found out about the show the day before tickets went on sale. I hope I can get in the front of the pit.

He's going to play it safe and order the tickets in advance instead. Thanks for advice everybody though.

Wait for the week of the concert, search ebay and craigslist. Guarantee you will find tickets way below face.
