Maximizing your chances

To improve your odds of securing tickets:

• Create accounts in advance: Set up an account on Ticketmaster before the sale starts, saving time during the purchasing process
• Use multiple devices: Try accessing ticket sales from multiple devices to increase your chances of getting through
• Be ready: Log in a few minutes before the ticket sale goes live to ensure you are ready to purchase as soon as they become available

Mistakes to avoid

• Missing presale deadlines: Ensure you meet the deadline to enter the presale when possible
• Not checking venue policies: Some venues may have specific entry requirements — familiarise yourself with these beforehand
• Leaving your account unverified: a phone number and passcode will need to be added to set up your account
• Assuming your old account is active: If you already have a Ticketmaster account, double check it is still working, the billing info is accurate and saved, and that you know the password
• Poor internet connection: Ensure you have a strong internet signal. Public networks such as at cafes, train stations or airports can be less reliable due to their volume of use
• Low batteries: Check that the devices you are using are connected to the mains or fully charged
• Refreshing the page while in the waiting room: Ticketing sites use a queuing system when they are busy and warn that refreshing won’t move you up the line — but could kick you out of the queue altogether
