How do I avoid missing a presale?
- Sign up early on each artist's official site. Presale codes usually go to mailing-list and fan-club members.
- Match your emails. Oasis required the registration email to match the buyer's Ticketmaster account.
- Check local times. Most on-sales open at 10 a.m. local time for each venue.
- Use official resale. Ticketmaster's face-value exchanges are the safest route for sold-out shows.
