Friday, October 13th. Unlucky for some.
If you're in any way superstitious, you're probably convinced you're not going to land tickets to one or two (depending on your funds) of the hottest gigs of 2018.
Niall Horan - 3Arena - March 12th
Macklemore - 3Arena - April 4th
Tomorrow morning at 9am, tickets for Niall Horan and Macklemore's 3Arena gigs go on sale. These tickets are guaranteed to sell out in minutes, and, that's why you need to bring your A-Game.
Get onto WhatsApp, and decide what gig you and your mates are going to.
To make sure that you don't end up sitting at home crying at your Niall Horan and Macklemore posters, do the following:
-
Team Up. Grab people that are also planning on going and work together.
-
Sign into Ticketmaster. If you don't have an account, get set up NOW. You will not have time later in the morning!
-
Have your details ready. If you're lucky enough to get through to input your details you don't want to make ANY mistakes. Time is of the essence!
-
Before 9am, refresh, refresh, refresh. Anytime from 8.55AM onwards, have the relevant page open on your desktop and just keep hitting that refresh button. You're going to need patience in bucket loads. Don't give up.
-
Get the 'captcha' code right. You have two minutes to type this in. Do not make a typo.
-
Credit card at the ready. If your details are saved on your Ticketmaster account, you're SORTED. If not, have the card ready. It may seem like an obvious thing to say, but MAKE SURE you have enough money in your account. If you don't, call in that favour from your Mom NOW!
-
Know your verified by Visa/Mastercard password. Know it inside out and back to front and never forget it. This step catches people out all the time and you could get kicked out of the queue if you don't remember it!
-
Remain calm. It's a stressful situation but panicking could cause you to hit a wrong button/refresh at the wrong moment/ throw your laptop out the window.
- Use the Ticketmaster app. You can save your card details which means you save time typing numbers in. Win. All you'll need is the three digits at the back, and your payment is good to go.
MCD and Ticketmaster have also shared their tips. We advise you check those out. You can see those HERE.
You've got this. Best of luck!
