Pre-sale or credit card exclusive sales give you the best chance. Always check the official ticketing partner website and set reminders for the on-sale date.How do I choose the best seats?Check venue maps online before buying. Front sections are great for energy, but higher tiers give a full stage view. Standing/GA tickets are ideal if you love dancing and being close to the stage.How early should I arrive?Arrive at least 1–2 hours early for entry lines, security checks, and merchandise stalls. For big artists, arriving even earlier is better.Are there age restrictions?Yes, most concerts in India have a minimum age (often 15+ or 18+). Check the event page carefully. How can I avoid scalpers?Only buy from official ticket partners like BookMyShow.
