Almost everyone loves to attend live events like sports, concerts, wrestling matches, musicals and other live events. It as never been so hard to buy tickets and it has never been as expensive to buy from Ticketmaster and online scalpers. Some of the reasons it is so hard to buy tickets is what known as holdbacks. Holdbacks are tickets pulled off of Ticketmaster before the onsale date especially for Amex card holders, industry big wigs, promoters, season ticket holders, radio stations, fan clubs, the venue and others. Those tickets are not available to the public via Ticketmaster. In some cases over half of the best seats to a show are already taken. In extreme cases only 20% of the tickets are available to the general public and the tickets available are usually the furthest seats in the arena. This is the way the current system works and it doesn;t look like any of these ticketing flaws will be corrected soon. So if you really want tickets you need to play the game. Obtain an Amex card, join fanclubs and search Google for presales passcodes. There are many free sites that collect and compile passwords to all kinds of events.

All of Ms. Swift’s 2009 concerts (except for three) have top ticket prices below $50 and (with fees) are a very attractive $65 each. Taylor also has thousands of tickets available for less than $30 with all of the fees.
