I agree that Ticketmaster's CEO is lord satan himself....
With that said, NEVER wait until the day tix go on sale.....Pre-sale my friend is the way to go...
Either:
A) Go to the band's website and sign-up for the fan club (that usually gets you a pre-sale code)
OR
B) I've used this website a couple times - well worth the extra 4 bucks to get good tix
