8. Getting Your Tickets Early
Being at a
festival is always a fun experience, but it also can be really expensive or
hard to buy a ticket. Tickets for a festival usually start at 30 dollars when
they first go on sell to the public on such websites as Ticketmaster or Stubhub.
Then as the time comes closer to the date of that particular festival, you’ll
start to see the ticket prices increase to 40 or 50 dollars a ticket. So it’s
always a good idea to get your tickets early especially with Edgefest and Warp
Tour, the most popular festivals.
My favorite
ticket ordering website is www.ticketmaster.com
because it is user-friendly, and they have affordable prices. Ticketmaster also
can provide you with information on what shows or events are happening in the
next few months or the venue of your next festival. Sometimes you can even find
better shows than what you expected. I
know I have found some unexpected gems. I found out about the All Stars Tour
Festival in Dallas last summer using them. Ticketmaster has a feature where you
can print your tickets for free after you purchase them. This feature certainly makes it easier for you
and your friends to avoid a long dreadful line at the ticket window at your show
venue.
Don’t get
me wrong! I’m sure there are plenty of
good ticket ordering websites that you may find user-friendly, such as www.classictickets.com
or www.tickets.stubhub.com. Use what you know best when purchasing your tickets
online, and always be sure the website is real and legit. You don’t want to
have an identity crime crisis on your hands because you have entered your
information and credit card number on a fake website.
When ordering
your tickets early, know you will need to exercise great responsibility in keeping
up with them. You never want to have to re-enter all your info just to get
another copy of your tickets printed at 2 in the morning before your show. Some
ticket ordering websites don’t even let you re-print what you order. Put your
tickets somewhere you know where you can find them. For example, you can pin them on your
bulletin board, place them in a desk draw, or even give them to your parents
who can keep up with things better than you. Personally, I place the tickets I
ordered on my bulletin board. This way
when my friends come visit me in my dorm room, they can get jealous and ask me
about the concert.
