Presale FAQs
You probably know this typical scenario: A new concert, sporting event or theater show is coming up with tickets going on sale on a certain date. You head to the ticketing venue in person or log onto Ticketmaster only to find the event sold out in 2 minutes (or less).
Why do Shows Sell Out so Quickly?
Well, on top of the hundreds (sometimes tens of thousands) of people going after the same tickets you want, there are brokers, charities and even “fake sell outs”. Basically there are a lot of factors leading to the instant sell outs that are becoming more and more frequent.
What is a Presale Password?
As the name implies, Presale Passwords give users a chance to secure tickets before the general on sale dates. Presale Passwords can be found in many ways: Fan Clubs, event promotions, email advertisements and of course awesome sites like ours!
Do all Events Offer a Presale Password?
No. Presale passwords are only available for certain events. The best way to find out if your event offers a presale is to check out presale sites like Ticket On Sale List or visit the Fan Club or “official site” of your artist or team you are researching.
How Do I Use a Presale Password?
Presale Passwords obtained through this site can only be used during a specific time period. Copy the password from this site and click the corresponding ticket link next to the code. When the on sale time comes refresh the page and you should see a presale box where you need to enter the code. Once the code is entered, select the number of tickets and the “Best Available” option. This should be done quickly, so work fast.
How Do CITI/VISA/AMEX/Chase Presales Work?
These presale events are sponsored by credit card companies like CITI, VISA, Chase or American Express. They usually require you to enter the first few digits of the credit card or a phone number from the back of the card. Usually the CITI and VISA sponsored presales also require the actual purchase be made by the respective card.

What Kind of Tickets are Available During a Presale?
It depends. Sometimes there may be a lot, while other times there will be an extremely limited lot of tickets released. It is not unusual for presale tickets to be gone in minutes. Some examples where presale tickets sold out in minutes include tickets for playoff games, or concerts in small venues.
Are Presale Passwords Worth It?
For die-hard fans, ticket brokers and ticket re-sellers they are a must! Presale sites such as Ticket On Sale List offer presale codes for tons of shows, even the unpopular shows. The main benefit of presales is that you get multiple chances to secure tickets (at face vaule) to your favorite event instead of just one with the general on sale.
Should I Join a Paid Fan Club to get a Unique Presale Password?
This depends on how desperate you are to get tickets to the concert you are searching for. Fan Club presales are often come with a membership fee ($30-$50), but the passwords are usually unique. The unique password can sometimes deter many brokers from buying tickets during the presale, offering you a better chance for tickets. One thing to keep in mind though…there are often multiple presales for each event, so spending money on a fan club membership for a presale might not be the best idea if there are two or three FREE presales happening for the show. This is where the benefit of checking Presale Password Ticket daily is beneficial.
