Bon Jovi enthusiasts have discovered a ‘miracle’ hack for purchasing tickets from Ticketmaster just in time for today’s general sale. Fans can buy tickets through Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
The iconic rock band will be performing eight shows at Madison Square Gardens in New York next summer. Following these performances, they will travel to the UK and Ireland for concerts in Edinburgh, London, and Dublin.
The tour marks Jon Bon Jovi’s return to the stage after a nearly six-year hiatus due to focusing on his health, leading to high demand for tickets.
As the general sale approaches, fans have been sharing a lesser-known strategy for obtaining tickets, even when faced with long queues.
One fan recounted their presale experience on Reddit: “Absolutely wild experience. It wouldn’t let me in the waiting room, kept asking for an authentication code, and then freezing when I entered the code.
“Tried nine times. On the 10th try, it made me change my password, and 20 minutes later at 9.05am, I was in queue position 15,649.
“As expected, no tickets left. I didn’t give up though, I kept refreshing and refreshing, and by some miracle, two resale face value standing tickets appeared and I grabbed them right away.”
Another fan noted that refreshing the page helped them secure tickets. They wrote: “Exact same experience for me. I was 11,000th in the queue for Edinburgh and 33,000th for Wembley. Sold out when I got in, but kept refreshing every so often over the next few hours and managed to get pitch tickets for Edinburgh.”
A third fan said, “I had a strange experience. I was in the queue for Wembley – started at 19,000th(ish). Sold out when I got in.
“BUT I kept going back to the page through the day, and picked up two pitch tickets for Edinburgh.”
So, it’s clear that refreshing the page might be key to obtaining tickets if availability seems scarce.
Below is everything you need to know about the general sale, including the start time and where to purchase tickets.
The general sale opens at 10am (EDT) on Friday, October 31, available via Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
