Here’s the lowdown on how, when, and where to get those precious tix to see your favorite artists perform live / By Shani Alterovich 5 tips for buying tickets to live shows abroad

01 Keep yourself informed via their social media accounts The best way to keep abreast of your favorite artist’s tour schedule is through their social media accounts. All the info about when ticket sales start, locations, etc., is posted on their Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts. Pro tip: subscribe to their official website for direct updates via email. 02 Check out their official website Official ticket sales at cost price only take place via official websites. If you check for tickets on Google, you’ll find links to various ticket sale websites where prices are higher. Usually, official websites include a tour schedule tab with concert dates and locations and links to

official ticket sale websites in the countries where performances are due to take place. 03 Check for pre-sales and general sales General sales are the official sales round during which anyone can try their luck at buying a ticket. Pre sales are mostly open to fans and followers who get an opportunity to purchase tickets before everyone else. 04 Collect information about the show location Once you’ve chosen a date and venue, log onto the official website of the stadium or concert hall and subscribe. That way you’ll be informed about any potential updates concerning the show.

Check the venue structure and seating arrangements so you know exactly what to expect when you get there. 05 Get ready to pounce on those tickets! The day the sale begins is definitely one you need to anticipate as demand is high. Log onto the official website one hour before the sale starts as online queues can be long (they can last hours and sometimes even a whole day). It’s important not to refresh the queue page but rather patiently wait your turn. Once it arrives, you’ll be transferred to a page where you can finally purchase the ticket within a certain time window. And once you’ve got your precious tickets, it’s finally time to book your hotel and flight.
