The exact number of presale tickets sold for an event is typically not publicly disclosed and varies significantly depending on the artist, venue, and specific event. The music industry and ticketing companies do not broadcast how many tickets are allocated to different presale categories.

Presale Ticket Allocation

Presales offer early access to tickets for specific groups, such as fan club members, credit card holders, or those who have signed up for artist or venue mailing lists. The number and location of tickets available for each presale are determined by the artist's team and event organizers. While the majority of tickets might be allocated to insiders, presales, fan clubs, and sponsors, only a limited number of tickets are made available during these early sales.

Percentage of Tickets in Presales

For some events, a significant portion of tickets can be sold during presales. For example, in one instance, only 32% of a concert's total seats were made available to the general public, with the majority earmarked for insiders and presales. In another case, only 46% of tickets remained for the general public after presales. This means that often a substantial percentage of tickets are sold before the general public sale, and in some situations, as little as 10% of tickets might be left for the public on-sale for a concert.
