5 Benefits Of Buying a Ticket Presale for Popular Events

  • VIBE Team
  • March 5, 2019
  • 4 minute read
ticket presale

Scalpers use bots to buy more than 60% of an event’s best seats. It’s no wonder why some events sell out in a matter of minutes. And if you want access, you’ll have to pay a scalper much more than the normal ticket price.

But what if there were ways to avoid scalpers entirely? What if you could get tickets before everyone else? There’s no reason to be hypothetical.

Because you can. During a ticket presale, you’ll be able to avoid the crowd and get the tickets you want. No more worrying about scalpers and sold-out events!

ADVERTISEMENT

But what is a ticket presale? And are presale tickets worth it? You better believe it!

Here are the five major benefits of getting your hands on presale tickets.

1. A Ticket Presale Means Guaranteed Tickets

You’ve been waiting several months for that big annual event. The only problem? As soon as it opens, the tickets are already sold out.

This isn’t a unique problem. It’s something that’s happened to everyone. But presale tickets are the solution.

ADVERTISEMENT

What are presale tickets? They are tickets that become available before the general sale. This means, if you’re lucky enough to get a presale code, you can purchase tickets days or weeks in advance.

You don’t have to deal with the stress of fighting for whatever seats are left. Since many events sell out within the first ten minutes, some people go to great lengths to ensure they’ll be online as soon as tickets are available.

Don’t rearrange your schedule or try to sneak away during work. With presale tickets, you’re good to go. Your only competition is others who have access to the presale code.

2. Start Planning Your Trip in Advance

There’s a good chance the big event isn’t in your area. You may need to purchase plane tickets, hotel rooms, and other accommodations. But it’s not wise to do this before you have the tickets.

After all, they may be sold out before you get a chance to buy them.

ADVERTISEMENT

But that’s where a ticket presale can help. Not only does it basically guarantee you’ll get tickets to the event, but you’ll get them far earlier than everyone else.

You’ll be able to start planning your trip and making reservations very early on. For one, this means you’ll be saving money. Everyone knows that accommodations, especially airline tickets, become more expensive over time.

But that’s not all. There’s an added benefit of booking these tickets before the general public. More hotel rooms will be available simply because others haven’t purchased confirmed tickets yet.

ADVERTISEMENT

You’ll beat the crowd and save a bit of money, all thanks to presale tickets.

3. Snatching Presale Tickets is Easy

People wrongly assume that a ticket presale is complicated. The reality is far different. There are some very easy ways to score presale ticket codes.

Do you want to know how to get presale tickets? One of the most common ways is through a fan club. Performers and event entities set aside a number of seats for presale and give early access to their fans.

ADVERTISEMENT

If you’re part of the fan club, you’ll get the presale access code. And with this, you’ll be able to buy tickets early. Just make sure you purchase them while they’re still available since other fans will also have this code.

However, you can also snag them from special credit card offers or connections with the venue. Take a look around and see what you can find. But do take note that many of these clubs and other offers do require some sort of annual payment.

Have you ever heard a radio DJ offering tickets to an event not available to the public? He’s got presale codes. You can always try for those, but it’s not likely you’ll win.

ADVERTISEMENT

Not a fan of competing for codes or paying for access? You can also find presale codes from those who have special access. Take a look at one of these services and view here.

4. Get the Best Seats While You Can

While it varies, presale seats tend to be some of the better offers. That’s because these presales are arranged by the event artists as a reward to their fans. Some presales even give you full access, which means you can purchase any type of seat, anywhere.

This is, of course, a better arrangement than trying to jump in when tickets become available to the general public. Many of the best seats will be bought up by scalpers and ardent fans.

ADVERTISEMENT

Which means you’ll be stuck in the nosebleeds. Even the best events can be ruined with bad seating.

5. Say Goodbye to Scalpers

Are presale tickets cheaper? No. They’re usually the exact same price of general access seating.

But that doesn’t mean you won’t save money. Is an event sold out? The alternative is purchasing tickets from scalpers.

These people buy tickets in advance to sell them later on. Since they want to make a profit off this, you’ll have to bite the bullet and pay far more than the actual price.

ADVERTISEMENT

But you don’t have to worry about scalpers with presale codes. You’ll get in early, get the seats you want, and avoid the price-gouging entirely.

Avoid the Stress With Presale Tickets

It can be a hassle to snatch good seats before they’re all gone. And it’s even more devastating when you find out you’re too late.

That doesn’t have to be the case anymore. During a ticket presale, you’ll be able to avoid the crowd, avoid the stress, and enjoy the event without any hitches. Join a few fan clubs to get access to these presale codes, or simply visit a presale code reseller.
