Here are our top 7 tips to help improve your chances of getting tickets first…

1. Open your account and log in now

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. We recommend checking passwords, delivery address and billing information now, to help reduce any unnecessary stress when processing your order later on. Ensure your payment card details are valid and up to date and if you have 3D Secure for Mastercard or Verify by Visa for Visa card set up make sure you know your password.  Head to Ticketmaster.ie and log in to your account to get started.

2. Before tickets go on sale, log into your Ticketmaster.ie account

3. Use only one Browser

Use only one browser window or risk losing your tickets! We bar multiple windows to stop unfair automated programs that shut you out.
Hint: you can use more than one computer…your laptop perhaps?

4. Don’t refresh your screen

Resist the urge to refresh and stick to one window when you’re waiting in the virtual queue. Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience will pay off here. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen is actually doing something and will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

5. Check when tickets are available

Keep up-to-date with news at Twitter.com/TicketmasterIre and Facebook.com/TicketmasterIE. If anything changes with tickets, our social followers will be the first to know about it.

We send real time updates as the general sales happens, including any technical difficulties that might occur and alerts on when new tickets come available.

6. Don’t miss the sale
