5 Things To Do When You Can’t Secure A Concert Ticket
COVID who?! Welcome to the unbothered era of offline concerts and fan meetings! Kidding aside, proper protocols are continuously established to maintain every successful event. Because our favorite artists keep coming back, wallets are drained, and of course… the anxiety about ticket sales never leaves!
Oh no! It’s doomsday!
Have you ever experienced the feeling of waking up and immediately taking an ice-cold shower first thing in the morning? Yep, that’s exactly how fans feel whenever they fail to secure their tickets. The moment the website crashes is the same moment our world is crashing down. How can we go on with life if we cannot attend this once-in-a-lifetime event?!
So what happens now? Don’t worry… it doesn’t end here. Let me share some tips on what to do when you can’t secure your idol’s concert ticket!
Do NOT panic
Calm down, it is not the end of the world (—yet)! I get it, your frustrations and sadness are extremely valid, but keep in mind that you shouldn’t panic forever. Take a deep breath and resort to different ways how you can grab a second chance at securing tickets.
Stay tuned for updates
We are living in a digital age where everything revolves around social media. So use your devices well and take note of every account from the artists, organizers, promoters, and even news pages. In frequent cases, there would be another wave of ticket sales, depending on the demand or discarded tickets for resale. Make sure not to miss the chance!
Report scalpers
Scalpers are notorious for hoarding bulk tickets and reselling them for an unreasonably high price. If this behavior keeps on being tolerated, then the cycle is never-ending as they continuously take advantage of desperate fans. Let us normalize shaming scalpers and mass reporting them to the organizers. In that way, the management can take action and void those tickets. Much better if they put them up for sale again to be bought by deserving fans in a fair way.
Try distracting yourself
The constant stress of ticket sales is unhealthy for our minds and body. If there is little to no chance of purchasing them, it is better to invest your time in other hobbies. You can also develop a new-found interest to keep yourself distracted and lessen your sadness over the unfortunate situation. There is always next time, anyway. *crosses fingers*
Manifestation is the key
Believe it or not… manifestation works! I couldn’t count how many times I’ve successfully manifested the target tickets and sections of my faves! Endless prayers and a concentrated mind are my keys to manifestation victory. If you are also familiar with those “share this lucky” posts and “secured ticket cutie” tweets, trust it! I suggest you start sharing every time you come across those things! I promise you, it doesn’t hurt to try. *winks*
I truly hope these tips will help you secure your concert tickets in the near future. Always remember to enter the ticketing battlefield with a positive mind to receive positive outcomes in return! Best of luck to all! <3
