Title: Ticketmaster: Call or Online???
Post by: Prom King on Jun 27, 2008, 08:46 AM
I always do online, but I am curious about what others think is the most effective method.  I am very nervous this morning.  Any thoughts here?

Call?

You can still call Ticketmaster and buy tickets when they go on sale?

How 1977 ..... LOL

Actually, if you are going to call Ticketmaster for tickets the morning they go on sale, here's the secret:

Call one of the Ticketmaster numbers VERY far away from the concert state ..... If the show is in NYC ..... Call Ticketmaster in Seattle .....

Why?

Because how many people in Seattle are going to be calling Ticketmaster at 7 a.m. for a show in NYC?

Not a bad idea... but Seattle's lines might nt be open that early. I'd try Orlando or Virginia or somehting like that.

I wonder how many people do call anymore...

I don't think it matters. I'm sure ticketmaster has sent all their call centers to India.

LOL.

Calling is nice - another trick is to call just before tickets go on sale, pick up tickets to a show that is currently on sale, then when the clock crosses 10:00, get the MMJ tickets.

havent used it in awhile, but used to have solid results

All numbers dial into Ticketmasters primary customer service phone bank .....

.... Calling Seattle means you won't get a busy signal like calling the NYC number ......

A lot of big name grocery stores (i.e. Kroger) have Ticketmaster "booths" at their customer service department.  That way you can pick your seats, as if you were at the box office.  You just gotta hope the clerk knows how to work the machine.
