When should I buy tickets?
Tickets for big concerts often sell out fast. Pre-sale or credit card exclusive sales give you the best chance. Always check the official ticketing partner website and set reminders for the on-sale date.
How do I choose the best seats?
Check venue maps online before buying. Front sections are great for energy, but higher tiers give a full stage view. Standing/GA tickets are ideal if you love dancing and being close to the stage.
How early should I arrive?
Arrive at least 1–2 hours early for entry lines, security checks, and merchandise stalls. For big artists, arriving even earlier is better.
Are there age restrictions?
Yes, most concerts in India have a minimum age (often 15+ or 18+). Check the event page carefully.
How can I avoid scalpers?
Only buy from official ticket partners like BookMyShow. Avoid third-party resale sites unless authorised by the organiser.
