Dave Matthews Band Tickets for Piedmont Park

Tips for Ticket Buyers and Sellers this Saturday

Are you planning on heading down to Piedmont Park this Saturday looking for Dave Matthews Band and Allman Brothers Band tickets? Do you still have extra tickets you need to sell?

Here are a few tips to hopefully make this a worthwhile experience.

1. Buying tickets? There will be lots of counterfit tickets on the market and unfortunately the city of Atlanta does little to stop this crime. When buying tickets if they do not look right...do not buy them. If the person selling the tickets does not look right...do not buy them. Trust me, you will find more tickets.
One common problem and unfortunately it does not speak well about some people in our society is that not only will you have total scum bags selling these fake tickets, many people once they realize they have bought a fake ticket will turn around and sell it trying to get their money back. Sad.
So how do you protect yourself? First, ask to see an ID. An honest person who is not committing a crime will let you take a look. The con artist will double talk his way out of showing it to you. Again, remember, if it does not feel right, walk away.
Second, everyone has a cell phone. Ask the seller to call your cell phone from their cell phone. Again, the criminal is not going to give you their cell number, the honest person will.
Seem like a lot of work? There are plenty of honest ticket brokers in Atlanta that will sell you a ticket. Yes, brokers are expensive but buy fake tickets once and suddenly their service will seem like a bargain.

2. So how about the sellers? There are some silly laws in Atlanta about how close to the venue you can sell tickets. Technically how far you are supposed to be is irrelevant because the APD seems to invent their own paramenters every time they decide to enforce the law. Hopefully the police will have more important matters to deal with than hassling honest folks selling their extra tickets Saturday but you do want to be careful if you are too close to Piedmont Park. Technically you can be arrested for this oh so silly crime. My advice, get a few blocks from Piedmont Park before you start waving your extra tickets in the air.
You also want to be careful selling your extra tickets to scalpers. There are plenty of reasonably honest scalpers in the ATL but for everyone that will treat you fairly there are 10 that will pull every trick in the book to scam your money.
When selling your tickets, count the money out loud like you are a carnival barker, ask the buyer if the amount is right and when they agree, then hand over your tickets. Never hand a scalper tickets before the money is counted and right. Some will literally run once they have your tickets in hand and you will realize too late that they only handed you $4.
Another problem in the ATL, funny money. Most of the counterfit money that gets passed at events when buying tickets is of lousy quality and easy to spot. Take the time to check for the strips inbedded in the bills and a $2 pen that detects bad money is a good investment for anyone that ever handles cash.

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Tour

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Tour Ticket Information

Yes, this will be a huge tour.
I am getting lots of questions about this tour and my company is getting lots of orders and requests for tickets.
And, for the record, if you are not a fan, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus are the same person. Or at least Hannah Montana is a character played by Miley Cyrus. There was a brief furious discussion in my office about this and I will point out that I WAS RIGHT.
I knew Miley was Billy Rays girl based on the name and that Hannah Montana was a fictional character so with my almighty powers of deduction I figured out that they were one in the same without the Internet. Pretty slick marketing, I applaud, make sure the world knows that Miley is not just a character but a real girl and set her up for a future beyond this character.
I did have to use the Internet to prove this to my employees but I was prepared to bet big bucks, time off, etc. Unfortunately my employees, I will point out, never take my bets. This is probably for the best.
The question I get the most about this tour is answered by, yes, all Hannah Montana shows will sell-out.
The next most asked question is "do I know how to get any cheap Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus tickets"?
We all know that cheap is a relative word, to some cheap means they want a $10 or $20 ticket and cheap to some of my clients is that they will only have to pay $1000 for a front row ticket. But I will assume that for most people it is the former.
With that in mind my recommendations for this tour are, one, try and grab some tickets when the shows go on sale. It is usually hard to beat face value.
Two, if you have no luck going that route I suggest simply waiting. I have a feeling that this ticket will be very expensive from ticket brokers, on StubHub and on eBay early on but as the shows come closer prices will drop. In some cities I think tickets will get very cheap as the venues are just too big and most demand will be filled.
The best times to check for a deal with ticket brokers are the day before a show or a few hours before a show. Many brokers dump their prices to move excess inventory the day before a show so that they have time to ship the tickets and some brokers wait until a few hours before a show if they are local or have TicketFast (print at home) tickets.
Third, if you have a sense of adventure you might just want to wait until the day of the show and see what tickets are going for out in front of the venue from fans and ticket scalpers. This is how I personally get my tickets if I do not already own them as a broker and I only sit in the best seats for most events. And I usually get the tickets fairly cheap.
This tour is basically targeted at children and tweeners, you will not find too many people at the shows above the teenage years other than adults and parents taking the kids to the shows. This means that everyone buying the tickets, ie. the adults and the parents, will want to make sure they have the tickets before going to the show. This isn't a rock concert or ball game where there may be less planning and more spontenity about going to the event.
This means that all the people that get stuck with extra tickets at the last second, and trust me at every event there are those people, will be out front trying to sell their extra tickets with not too many buyers looking to buy them as everyone will already have their tickets in hand.
This means that I predict that if you wait until the last moment you will in fact be able to get tickets for most Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus concerts for $10 to $20.
But if you go this route based on my prediction and I am wrong PLEASE do not be mad at me. I suggest you might just want to have a back-up plan for a dissapointed child or children such as Chuck E Cheese, a Disney movie or Putt Putt. I do not think I will be wrong but a back up plan is always good with children.
"Honey, mommy can only afford $20 for our 2 tickets. If I break your heart by not getting tickets and thus you will hate me for years and be scarred for life I will make it up to you by taking you to Chuck E Cheese for the 100th time!"
