Where do you buy your concert tickets from?

[nonameo]

I need to buy concert tickets soon. Where's a good place to get them from online?

 

[Brainonska511]

Whoever the venue or act links to. I've never gone to a show that had tickets sold in multiple places (excluding second hand off stubhub or something like that).

Places to try:
Livenation
Ticketweb
Ticketmaster
Stubhub

I go to smaller shows usually so from the venue is my answer.

Ticketmaster. I don't know of any other means to acquire most tickets first-hand. Just gave them $25 in service charges for 2 tickets...

Try ticketmaster canada. I find they give you a cheaper "service charge".

I usually go to venues in Philly that have a box office, which allows me to avoid paying the Ticketnazi service charges.

ticketmaster when i'm using my Amex points. otherwise i get from the local box office.

Usually the Box Office if it's a "big" enough place to have one, otherwise if a band is playing at a back room of a bar or something, usually they'll have someone at the bar collecting the cover charges. I tend to like smaller shows.

I also use the Box Office only. I refuse to use TicketBastard for anything. Could get a couple extra tickets for all the "convenience" fees they charge. Never knew it was so convenient to get screwed up the ass.

Ticketmaster unfortunately. Usually don't have a choice.

This, except not in Philly.

Ticketmaster charging me 40% of the ticket price is just too much. They're one of three companies I don't give a dime to unless I have no other choice. Best Buy and WalMart are the other two.

I go to the venue's box office if possible, otherwise it's whichever online place they've partnered with.
