Ticketmaster Fan Presale Wars are not easy to get through. As someone who managed to survive the first battle for both The Eras Tour & the Cowboy Carter Tour, I’d like to share some tips from my experiences. I’ve used my computer for both. Dozens of videos have been made about this on social media. Be sure to check those out. I found them to be very helpful. I’ll link Alex Day’s video @repudaytion on TikTok here. His advice was extremely helpful to me for Beyoncé’s upcoming tour.
As Ticketmaster advises, save your payment method and update your profile. I had my code already copied and one window open on my computer. Arrive at least 10 minutes before the presale goes live (I logged in 30 minutes early) and do not refresh your screen. Don’t be too alarmed about seeing a large number of people ahead of you. Just be patient and take a deep breath. Beyoncé’s queue moved at a good pace which was shocking to me after the way Ticketmaster crashed with Taylor Swift.
Be prepared for extra fees and dynamic pricing. Create a budget or payment plan for your ticket purchase. With Taylor Swift’s tour, the tickets I managed to get were not as expensive as I thought they would be, which was very lucky. However, Cowboy Carter Tour tickets were more expensive than expected. Planning ahead and preparing is everything. Remember, there are other presales to sign up for. The verified fan presale is not the only one. There will be other chances to purchase tickets. When I saw Taylor Swift at the last minute, tickets were purchased on another resale site.
Enter your code immediately once you enter the ticket purchasing room. When selecting your seats, it is faster and easier to select from the right side of the screen, where the quantity and pricing are. Select how many tickets you want and start looking. That is how I was able to grab my seats for Cowboy Carter. You’ll need to do so quickly. I was able to grab specific seats for Taylor Swift. However, it is difficult to zoom in and maneuver the seat map quickly, which is why I recommend the other method. If it’s showing no seats, refresh and enter your code again because other seats can pop up. That is how I found mine. Have your card on hand because you will need to enter your security code when purchasing your seats. You will also need to select whether or not you want ticket insurance before purchasing, and make sure you have that decision made at checkout.
Finally, purchase those tickets and check your email for confirmation. Move your tickets into your device’s wallet and don’t let the battle get you down! The experience can be emotionally exhausting, but once you’re at the concert dancing, it’ll be at the back of your mind. Start planning that outfit, stream your favorite songs, create a countdown, and learn those dance challenges! Those memories and photos will last forever, and I still look at my concert content with joy. I’m counting down the days till the Cowboy Carter Tour! See you soon, Beyoncé!
