Cheap Tickets
Here are some tips to acquiring tickets at a reasonable cost:
- Check Multiple Platforms: Look for tickets on various websites, including official ticket sellers, resale platforms, and discount sites.
- Not Stars Yet: Up and coming singers, may be playing smaller venues at a very low cost.
- Old Performers: Often ticket prices for performers go do as they age/move out of the limelight.
- Preseason: Sports teams often have a pre-season where tickets are available for a fraction of the cost.
- Regular Season: Toronto Sports teams in Toronto cost a fortune to see. Consider seeing your favourite team in another city for a fraction of the cost.
- Location: As per 5. above location matters for concerts. For example Taylor Swift is much cheaper to see in other cities as opposed to Toronto.
- Buy in Advance: Tickets may be cheaper when purchased well in advance of the event date. Avoid last-minute purchases, as prices may increase as the event approaches. (Note: If the event will be popular, tickets will be in high demand and rise toward event date.)
- Consider Weekdays or Off-Peak Times: Tickets for events during weekdays or off-peak times may be cheaper than those for weekend or prime-time performances.
- Look for Package Deals: Some ticketing platforms offer package deals that include tickets to multiple events or attractions at a discounted rate.
- Avoid Scalpers: Be cautious when buying tickets from scalpers or unauthorized sellers, as they may sell counterfeit or overpriced tickets. Stick to reputable sources.
- Consider Secondary Markets: Explore resale platforms, where tickets may be available at lower prices, especially closer to the event date. (If the demand for tickets is not there, scalpers may let tickets go below market value.)
