A presale is a way for an artists biggest fans to get early access to tickets before the general public. Presale codes are usually required to access these early sales, and they can come from different sources such as the artist, venue, event organizer, Ticketmaster, or even the radio. Each presale may offer different codes and perks, so its important to know where to look, how to sign up, and what to do when the presale countdown clock hits zero. Presale access can be obtained in several ways, including:
-
Advance Registration: Some artists allow fans to register for tickets in advance. On the day of the ticket sale, fans that have registered will be sent a text with a code.
-
Fan Club Presale: Fan club members are often rewarded for their loyalty and given presale access to their favorite artists shows.
-
Live Nation Presale: If you have a Live Nation account, youll receive email alerts about some upcoming Live Nation presales.
-
Ticketmaster Presale: Ticketmaster sometimes offers presales for certain events.
To access a presale, you usually need a code and a secure link which is sent out by the artist or the event producer. These codes and links are usually sent to exclusive members of fan clubs, people who have pre-ordered the artists new album, or those who have signed up to receive special email offers from Ticketmaster. Its important to note that having a presale code does not guarantee tickets, as they are still subject to availability.
