    Most of the time you can find VIP packages on sale through ticket retail services such as Ticketmaster. You should also check websites that deal exclusively with VIP packages. [1]

    Fan club members occasionally get access to tickets before they actually go on sale. These "presales" give you the chance to shop for tickets before anyone else. Be on the lookout for VIP packages if you get a presale notification. [2]
    • Joining a fan club may cost you some money, but it usually comes with a fair amount of perks. By joining a fan club, you may also have the option of entering contests to win prizes, including VIP packages.

    Radio stations often have ticket give away contests. While it isn't a guaranteed way to get VIP tickets, it rarely costs any money. You can win anything from concert tickets to film festival tickets depending on the station you listen to.
    • Check different radio stations for different contests. Visit the website of each radio station and look for a contest schedule.

    Call the venue that is hosting the event you'd like to attend. Ask them if they offer any VIP packages. If the tickets are sold through a third party, the venue will likely be able to point you in the right direction.

    Some ticket retailers post valuable information on social media. Follow these websites to stay updated on the availability of VIP packages and ticket presales. [3]
    • You will usually be required to enter a special code to gain access to these sales. If you're not a part of the community, you won't be able to shop. [4]
    • Keep an eye out for contests run through social media. If you find out about a contest, make sure you read all the rules. Not only will the rules let you know how the contest works, you may find out ways to increase your chances of winning.

Making Sure You Get Tickets

    VIP packages are a hot commodity and are likely to sell out fast. Familiarize yourself with various online ticket retailers to ensure you get the tickets you want.
    • Make accounts with different websites to make the check-out process easier. Stay logged in while you're waiting for tickets to go on sale.
    • Buying tickets online can sometimes be difficult. A lot of vendors give you a set amount of time to purchase tickets. If you run out of time, you have to start all over. It might be helpful to practice buying tickets to make sure you know how each website works. You don't have to buy anything, but you can still get familiar with the check-out process.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d4\/Get-VIP-Tickets-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-VIP-Tickets-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d4\/Get-VIP-Tickets-Step-7.jpg\/aid654402-v4-728px-Get-VIP-Tickets-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    VIP packages are not cheap, and some are well over $1000. You may need to start saving well in advance to make sure you can afford the VIP package when it goes on sale. [5]
    • Some events will cost quite a bit more than others. For example, if you want VIP tickets to a farewell tour, you're going to spend a lot more than if you were going to a standard show. Likewise, VIP tickets to a special sporting event, such as the Super Bowl, will be much harder to get than VIP tickets to a regular season game.
    • Plan ahead to make sure you know how much, and how long, you have to save.

    If you're serious about getting VIP tickets, you need to get them soon. The good seats are usually the ones that sell the fastest, sometimes within the first few minutes. If you know that tickets go on sale at 10 AM, make sure you're logged in and ready to buy a few minutes before. [6]

    I won my tickets on the radio. Should I call them to see if they're VIP, or can I upgrade?

    Community Answer
    They are most likely general admission. If they are VIP, the radio station would have said it. It might be possible to upgrade with an additional fee, but it would be best to call them and they can answer any questions that you might have.

  • Question
    How can I get VIP ticket?
    Captainsprinkles
    Community Answer
    Usually, ticket selling sites offer VIP tickets along with general admission. There are less of them, so get them quickly, and also be prepared for them to be much more expensive than general admission. Also, some concerts do not offer VIP, but most do.
