A presale ticket is a type of ticket that gives fans early access to purchase tickets before they are available to the general public. Presale tickets are usually sold from a separate allocation of seats, which may not be the same as the tickets being released to the general public. Presale codes or passwords are required to access these tickets, and they are usually given to fans who sign up for newsletters, follow artists on social media, or have certain credit cards. However, having a presale code does not guarantee that you will be able to purchase tickets, as they are still subject to availability. Presale tickets usually offer the best selection of seats and event dates as you’re beating most of the competition to the punch. They can also be cheaper than buying tickets during the general sale, especially if the venue or ticket vendor uses dynamic pricing, which increases ticket prices as consumer demand goes up.
