Default Concert tickets

My daughter who is 14 today is desparate go & see Beyonce when she comes to the UK in a few months time. The tickets are on general sale from Saturday 23/02/2013 but she is a member of the Beyonce website & some pre sale tickets were released today. Of course by the time we did manage to get into the site this morning they had gone. On cheking the secondary ticket sites no suprise that they appeared on there within minutes at more than double face value.

We will try again on the general release but expect to have a tough time of it again.

Anyone able to suggest anything ?

It's a bad do as i want to get her tickets but at the same time am not prepared to be completely ripped off [i would pay a little over the odds though]

Cheers
Simon

It's a right pain in the backside to get concert tix.
I've bought festival tix off eBay a few times and had no problem, you just have to have patience and find someone that isn't taking the ****.

Agreed.

Michael Mcintyre had the best idea last year. The front 3 blocks could not be sold on as you had to present the card you brought the tickets with when entering the venue.

SCD Simon: How many tickets were you after 2 or 4. Also what price as they range from 50 up to 90 squids????
