How to score event tickets

If you’re in love with one team or band, join the fan club and you might get ticket access before the general public does.

Keep checking ticket outlets, because new batches of tickets are often released as the event date nears.

Ticket brokers get deals you can’t. Shop their prices too.

StubHub is a great source for tickets being resold, but don’t forget rivals like SeatGeek and Gametime. Gametime specializes in day-of sales, and both outfits sell tickets straight to your phone—at discounts of up to 75 percent— after an event starts.

You can get legit tickets from a guy on the sidewalk. But use a ticket app to check his prices and either finish the sale at the ticket window or ask to pay via PayPal, which might refund a scam sale. Source:
