Preparation Tips Before the Ticket War

Guys, what concert tickets have you tried to get so far? 

There are still many concerts and music festivals you can watch until the end of the year. Don’t give up on trying to get your idol’s concert tickets. There are still many opportunities. To confidently enter the "battlefield" and win the tickets, here are preparation tips before the war. 

1. Check the concert schedule and details

First, understand when and where the concert is held. Also, check the ticket prices and seating plan. If you know the venue, you can decide which seating plan to choose.

Second, make sure you know the ticket sale schedule. There are usually pre-sale tickets as well. Note the dates or set an alarm on your smartphone.

To stay up to date, follow the official social media accounts of the organizer or promoter and regularly check the information.

2. Prepare gadgets and a stable internet connection

Prepare your “weapons” which are multiple gadgets like a smartphone, tablet, and laptop to minimize errors and back each other up. Ensure your internet connection is fast and stable too. At least 30 Mbps. Whether using Wi-Fi or mobile data, fast and stable internet is the key to successful ticket wars. If your home Wi-Fi isn’t fast enough, consider finding a place with better Wi-Fi, like a café or co-working space.

3. Create an account and prepare your personal data

Create an account in advance on the ticket sales website or download the app, then save the login details. Don’t wait to register or log in when the ticket war starts, as this could waste precious time. Some sites even offer the option to save credit card details, so you can pay faster. Note down all your personal data on your smartphone to quickly copy and paste during the ticket war.

4. Ensure sufficient digital wallet balance

Make sure the funds in your bank account or e-wallet are enough to pay for the tickets you aim to buy. Don’t forget to calculate the taxes too. Don’t cut it too close with the balance for the tickets.

5. Pray

Don’t forget to pray and, if possible, ask for your parents' blessings. Ask them to pray for your ticket war success because parents' prayers are usually effective. Seriously, this works!

Tricks During the Ticket War

Preparation is done, now it's time to set the strategies for the ticket war. Here are some tricks you can use on the day of ticket sale to secure even the most elusive tickets. 

1. Standby and use the TCC technique

Open the website and standby on the ticket purchase page at least 10 minutes beforehand, refreshing it periodically. Don’t open other tabs besides the ticket purchase page. Besides slowing things down, you could get distracted and lose focus.

Use the TCC technique: Time, Connection, and Calm Mind. Sync your time with the purchase system, if necessary, using “time.is”. Keep an eye on your internet connection to ensure it stays stable. Lastly, don’t rush or panic. A calm and relaxed mind helps you stay emotionally stable to get the tickets you want.

2. Don’t refresh the page if you’re already in the queue

Don’t refresh the page once you’re in the queue, as this could be fatal, pushing you back to the start. If the server freezes, open a new tab on your gadget to access the same page.

At this point, don’t give up, Guys! Wait patiently and stay calm. While waiting in line, do some finger exercises to type your purchase data quickly.

3. Immediately choose your seat or category

Once the seating plan page appears, immediately choose the category you want. Fill in your details quickly and wait for the process. Don’t go back to the previous page.

4. Pay quickly

Checkout the tickets quickly and make the payment immediately. Once the payment is successful, wait for the confirmation email. If you’ve received the email, you can sleep tight because the tickets are in your hands. Yeaay!

Additional Strategies

Besides the above tips and tricks, apply these additional strategies to ease your ticket war effort.

• Don’t rely on just one ticket source. Check if tickets are sold on more than one site. If so, take advantage of all the purchase links.

• Mobilize relatives for the ticket war using the same buyer name. This increases your chances of getting the tickets.

• Join fan communities to get important concert and ticket war information.

Well, those are the tips and tricks for concert ticket wars you can apply. Despite many challenges and thousands of competitors, with the right preparation and strategy, hopefully, your chances of getting your favorite musician's concert tickets will be higher. Don’t forget to pray, keep trying, and don’t be sad if you don’t get the tickets this time. Happy ticket warring and good luck!
