I've called ticket brokers the last few times I've went to the concerts.
So here is a few tips from me to
those who have never done it.
1. You WILL pay more than the face value of the ticket. ~ It depends
where you go how much you will pay.
For where I am in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. An average cost is $150
for second level seats. And $200
for second level.
2. Go through your phone book. ~ Look up in the yellow pages of your
phonebook under TICKETS or
something to that matter. Try to stick with places that are well advertise.
Some smaller copies are good
too. For those that live in the Philly area, stay away from Ed's Tickets!
3. Get ESTIMATES first. ~ Just because the first place you call sounds
legit and good don't stop with
them. Have a pad of paper and a pen with you when you call and talk
to them about prices, location and how
many tickets are available together.
4. Decide how to pay. ~ Some places have mail orders and some only except
credit cards. So you must
have your parents approval first.
5. GET PARENTS PERMISSION FIRST! ~ This should be done ASAP! Before
you even make that first
phone call. I was 18 when I did it for the first time and I still had
to ask my parents for permission to do
it. It's smarter and safer if a parent helps you out. With these tips
and some consumer smarts on you own.
You should have no problem buying those tickets of your dreams. To
see the boys of the year singing in
your hometown. For those of you who stood in line and got tickets have
fun. For those who are going to go
through brokers, like I good luck too. You're going to need it.
WARNING: I've heard that some local places are asking OUTRAGEOUS prices
for tickets. STAY AWAY
FROM THESE PLACES! One place was selling front row tickets for $600
a pop. First level for $325 and
second for $225. That is WAY too expensive for anyone to pay for tickets
to a concert.
