Taking the time to do a little research and comparison shopping can usually help you find a ticket within your budget. In fact, it pays to check the inventory and prices of about 4 - 5 sites before settling on your tickets; you might be surprised by how much they vary from site to site.
Ticket Intel has compiled a comprehensive list of Websites to help you shop for tickets online. While some sites offer tickets at fixed prices, others, like eBay, use an auction format.
When you’re comparison shopping, a good place to start is eBay’s “Completed Items” section. This handy tool can tell you how much tickets to your event have been going for. This can give you a good idea of how much you should expect to pay.
Another trick is to look for the lowest fixed price you can find and then, if possible, bid a lower amount on an auction site. There’s little risk, and you never know when you might get lucky.
If you’re willing to gamble, you can try waiting until right before the event to look for tickets. As people become more desperate to sell their tickets, they also become more willing to bargain. Likewise, sometimes searching for single tickets will yield less expensive results. If you and you’re friends are willing to sit separately, your chances for finding an inexpensive ticket may increase.
