Diary of a Mad Editor

I remember back in the day waiting out in front of my local ticket agent, in the dead of winter, 3 o’clock in the morning, trying to score Van Halen tickets. As it turned out, all the good seats went to the area rock stations and the scalpers because, by the time we got our tickets all we could get were seats in the nosebleed section. Of course, this was the 1980’s — before the Internet, before you had a choice. Back then, it was either the local ticket agency or the scalpers.

Now, with online ticket agencies selling tickets, you have an advantage of being able to get a wide variety of tickets cheaper than your local agent. Local ticket dealer typically only represent local venues. Whereas, online ticket sellers offer tickets for events at many venue around the country. Say you’re planning a trip to New York and want to purchase Richard Rodgers Theatre Tickets to see a show there. Whether your planning to catch a Dallas Mavericks game and need American Airlines Center Tickets or Park West Tickets to see your favorite folk band on the live stage, it’s easy and convenient and sure beats sitting outside in the rain wishing you were in your warm bed.
