Ticketmaster is a well-known platform where individuals can buy tickets to various types of shows without the need to visit a physical box office. Whether you're interested in taking your kids to an ice skating performance, circus, or attending a pop concert, it's advisable to utilize online platforms and plan ahead rather than waiting until the last minute.
Instructions
Set up a Ticketmaster account. This allows you to do more than just retrieve passwords and order histories. It enables you to store personal information (such as credit/debit card details) and print out receipts and tickets immediately after purchase.
Specify your location. This helps in filtering specific categories and events relevant to your future plans.
Explore your event category. Browse through a variety of options from sports events to rock concerts or family-friendly activities. If you're unable to find a specific event in the search results, it may mean that tickets are not yet available and will be released at a later date.
Review the seating plan. This is crucial. Check the venue's seating chart on alternative websites as Ticketmaster may not always provide detailed seating information. Different events within the same venue may have distinct seating arrangements, so it's essential to understand your proximity to the stage and any seating levels available (e.g., floor seats vs. balcony seats).
- Many venue websites, particularly those in metropolitan areas, offer their own seating charts for various events.
Click ‘Skip this step’ on the pop-up page that appears asking for the number of tickets you want to purchase. This pop-up can be time-consuming and may lead to losing tickets!
Take prompt action on the seating layout and available tickets screen. This screen displays a layout of the venue without specific labels, requiring you to choose your desired seat/section quickly. Available ticket options will be shown on the right side of the screen. Act swiftly as tickets sell out rapidly, especially for highly sought-after artists.
Select your preferred delivery method. Shipping options resemble those of any other online purchase. Ground shipping may be the most efficient depending on your location. If the event is approaching soon or you prefer immediate access to the tickets, opt for printing them out or picking them up at the local box office. Printed tickets will be in standard 8'x11' format, so remember to bring the entire sheet to the event!
Proceed with your purchase. Enter your credit card details or choose your payment method. Having an account offers advantages, as you won't need to input your information every time. Ensure you have everything prepared as there is a unique timer on this page.
