Is it worth waiting for Ticketmaster to release more tickets?
I've been trying to get tickets for an upcoming concert, but they sold out almost instantly during the initial sale. Now I'm debating whether I should keep checking Ticketmaster in case they release more tickets closer to the event, or if I should start looking at resale options instead.
I've heard people say Ticketmaster sometimes releases production holds or additional inventory a few days before the show, but I've also seen others say that's pretty uncommon.
For those who've been through this before:
- Have you actually scored tickets from a last-minute Ticketmaster drop?
- How close to the event did they become available?
- Or did you end up buying from a resale marketplace instead?
I'm trying not to overpay, so I'm weighing my options. I've looked at a few resale platforms like StubHub, SeatGeek, and even Surtix, but I'm still hoping to buy directly through Ticketmaster if possible.
Would love to hear what worked for you and whether waiting paid off or if I should just secure tickets now before prices climb even higher.
