Sign up for a Ticketmaster account through the Ticketmaster.com website. With an account, you won't have to waste time entering billing information when it comes time to order the tickets.
Research the exact time the tickets go on sale. Although ticket sale times vary, the most common times for tickets to be released are at 10 a.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays, says website Tix101.com.
Sign into your Ticketmaster account, then visit the event's sales page a few moments prior to the expected sale time. As the time nears, refresh your browser until the "Search for Tickets" box appears.
Search for tickets by choosing the "best available" or "any" ticket option. This will lock you to any tickets that are available, starting with the highest-priced options first.
Secure your order and confirm your purchase. The tickets should be mailed to you or be waiting for you at will call, depending on the shipping option you selected at check-out time.
