So I tried to get Lady Gaga tickets for the wife and I for Dallas in December this morning. Today was the earliest pre-sale advertised through Ticketmaster. Was on the website when they went live and, surprise, no tickets available. But, they're all over Stubhub for ridiculous prices.

How can a regular guy with a credit card get decent tickets to a popular concert tour like this these days, without going through the secondary markets?

Amex platinum or whatever the CITI and equivalent cards are, use their concierge and pre buy them

Question: If lady gaga and the goo goo dolls went on tour together, would it be the goo goo gaga tour??

I got tickets for Willie Nelson and Dwight Yokum off of Ticketmaster and they had been on sale for quite a while. Maybe it's just the most popular acts?

I've always hated this about Ticketmaster. There has to be a way to limit so many tickets being sold to scalpers.

Do the scalpers use a computer program to buy large blocks the second they go on sale or do they pre-buy somehow?

There's a site you can sign up for and get presale codes for any concert. When I saw The Rolling Stones you just needed a American Express card.

Day of show through ticket master. All unused tickets from the outlets get put back into the machine the day of.

Best tickets are available that day.

Yeah, you're competing against scalpers with computer bots dialing and buying non stop...

Amex or join the artist's "club" for pre-sale.

I'm assuming I won't be able to get Metallica tickets with my free vouchers from Ticketmaster either...

Ticketmaster should just sell tickets in person if they want to get rid of scalpers.
