Presale Offer Tickets

You’ll need a presale code to unlock the presale for the opportunity to buy these tickets. Presales give you the chance to buy tickets before the general public.

If you see seats with a lock icon, enter the presale code on the event page to unlock presale access. Different presales allow access to different blocks of seats.

You can find presale codes in the Box Office Fox On Sale List.

Official Platinum Tickets

Official Platinum are marketed as some of the best seats in the house at an inflated price. Ticketmaster takes these tickets and marks them up, squeezing out potential profits. Avoid reselling Official Platinum seats.

Verified Resale Tickets

Verified Resale (pink) seats are seats being resold from other fans and brokers. When you resell on Ticketmaster your tickets will show on the seating chart along with face value tickets.

Unavailable Tickets

These seats are already sold or being held. Not available for sale.

VIP Tickets

These seats come with special VIP experiences but are very overpriced. Avoid reselling VIP seats.
