There are many advantages for buying concert, sports and theatre tickets online directly from the box office. The internet explosion means that there are a lot of people out there using their computers to buy tickets, making the competition for the same tickets at the same time, fierce. Here are a few Ticket Tips on how to get the edge on the competition

It’s all about speed when trying to buy tickets on-line, therefore, Ticket Tips recommends you use a high-speed connection like cable or DSL. You are definitely going to be at a disadvantage if you are still using a dial up connection to the internet.

Make sure you know what time zone the tickets are going on sale in. If you live in CST and tickets go on sale at 10:00am EST, know what that means to you!

Have an account already set up with the box office website. This will save you the time of typing all of your personal information in during your purchase.

Close all other browsers you may have open on your computer. This will help you from getting shut out of the system.

Have the event page up and ready when the tickets go on sale. If you start at the home page, it will take you a while to get to the actual event page, therefore, there’s a chance of getting shut out with all of the other traffic.

With your event page up, hit refresh every few seconds until the screen takes you to the actual order page at the on sale time. Decide how many tickets you want to buy and search. There will be a maximum number of tickets you can purchase. It could be eight or even four. You generally get a better choice of seats in lower numbers, especially pairs.

Make sure you have a venue map of the actual stage set up available to view. A sporting event seat map would not be accurate for an end stage concert. You can always click on the venue map to view it, but this takes time, so try to do it before you even attempt to buy tickets. Print it out and have it handy.

When your search pops up and the seats are acceptable, then you can finish your purchase quickly. If the seats are not acceptable you can always search as many times as you want without pestering an agent to do it for you! Sometimes the box office will release the seats in intervals, and sometimes the quality seats will be released all at once. Just keep in mind that once you search again, you are releasing the seats in the prior search!

The advantages to buying online are that you have control over the time you get into the site. Being prepared by having an account set up and your order page ready will help you.

The disadvantage is that you will have to pay a shipping fee on top of the service charge. You could also get locked out of the site due to heavy traffic or having too many browsers open on your computer.
