    • After you’ve signed up, you’ll see a confirmation page. Live Nation will email you the day before the presale with a link to access it. [5] Taking part in a presale doesn’t guarantee you’ll get tickets—they could sell out fast.
    • Some presales use a lottery system. Fans register and a few are randomly selected to receive presale codes to their texts or emails.

    • Look out for unofficial fan clubs. Official fan club websites are usually linked on the artist’s social media profiles or on their record label’s website. An unofficial fan club, while fun to join, can’t give you access to Ticketmaster presale codes.
    • A fan club is not the same as being a Verified Fan . Verified Fans is a Ticketmaster program to prioritize loyal fans over scalpers. Fan clubs are run by artists' teams to reward loyal fans.
