Got to have those Casting Crowns Concert Tickets, but aren’t into camping out all night in a line of desperate fans on the same quest? Good news, you don’t have to! You can have those tickets at competitive prices without ever leaving home or standing in a single line. Read on for 5 hot tips to get the tickets you want, (even for Sold Out artists like Casting Crowns, Third Day, Steve Curtis Chapman) at the best prices without all the hassle.

Where to Buy?

1. Secondary Event Ticket Sellers – The ultimate source for hot demand concert tickets are secondary event ticket seller’s online sites. Bottomline – someone bought tickets they now need to sell. Their loss can be your HUGE GAIN. They sell them via a secondary Event Ticket Seller’s online website.

While there are gads of seller sites cropping up – beware to pick your ticket seller site carefully.

**From my 5 favorites (see link below) you can expect:

- Huge selection (one site alone carries over 1 million tickets in inventory to events worldwide)

- Authentic ticket guarantees

- Consistent pricing structure (the playing field is the same for all ticket sales on their site, unlike eBay where the multitude of sellers call the shots)

- Competitive pricing (comparison shop and see for yourself)

- Multiple payment options

- Reliable delivery guarantees – Even though you are buying tickets that are being resold, you have the comfort of knowing that the sale is managed by a reputable company.

2. Ticket Sales Site Wishlist – Some of the Secondary Event Ticket seller sites have an Alert List or wishlist of sorts. Enter your info there and you’ll be alerted ASAP if what you’re looking for comes available. Think of it as a free lookout service.

3. Fan Sites – Sites dedicated to fans of a particular artist, sport, entertainment event often offer a forum (electronic bulletin board) where fans can post. If another fan has tickets they can’t use, they use this avenue to try to sell them. Keep in mind you’ll be dealing directly with the seller.

4. Pre-sales – Internet searches will give you info on pre-sales and the passwords required to take advantage of the discounted prices they offer. Keep in mind the cost of the passwords adds to the overall cost of your tickets. Some pre-sale passwords can be acquired for free, others have stipulations that prohibit you from being privy to the pre-sale even *with* the password. Always check out the details before paying for a pre-sale password.

5. Youth Pastors – If the event is one that high school or college age Christian youth would be drawn to – check with local youth pastors. They often buy tickets in bulk to concerts or sports events at group discount prices to make available to their students for a group outing. It’s not uncommon for them to have extras that they simply want to get their money back on and will try to sell at the event door for face value. If you contact them beforehand, you’ll have 1st shot at them and scoop them up for sweet prices.
