Online ticket purchases - suggestions? ideas?

[underpants]

My wife bought me two tickets to see Bill Maher in Roanoke in August. Now I need to return the favor and guess what - The Eagles are playing near here in July. This would be a "bucket list" thing for her.

I have used stubhub before. eBay will probably have some. Any other ideas?


Do prices drop just prior to the event?

1. They can drop prior to an event

if demand is low, but you take a risk that demand is still going to be high and prices can climb too.

3. I called the arena and got a good price

They (actually ticketmaster) had better prices.

5. Good luck!

Enjoy Bill Maher!

We went to see him a couple of years ago in Durham. He did a very funny show.

6. Got the tickets!

Called the arena and then went through Ticketmaster. Holy smokes does Ticketmaster suck. They told me yesterday that they were open until 8 pm. Called when I got home and it said they closed at 6. I tried every trick I know to get through a phone tree and no luck. Several calls this morning - one person told me that they were open until 9pm last night *WTF* - and I got them.

With a gift card we got the tickets for less than face value out of pocket to us. My wife will now get to see The Eagles live in concert.
