Make sure your account details are up to date for whatever ticket platform you use
Marie was keen to point out that this is important to ensure the best chance of getting through the sales, she added that it is also worth having multiple payment options such as cards and Paypal ready to go.
Don't use multiple devices or Windows when tickets go on sale
The seasoned music fan added that in the US presale, you were only allowed to use one device and one page, something she thinks may happen here too. She advises using several accounts with different emails if you do want to try using multiple devices.
Be ready and prepared in advance
She recommends you are logged on and ready 5-10 minutes before the sale starts adding that you "need to get in as early as possible.".
On the sale page
Marie stated: "Once you get to the sale page, you have to be FAST! No time to think, just grab the first tickets you can afford and run to the checkout. Getting your hands on the tickets for the popular dates from resellers will be hard, so you really want to succeed during the official sale!"
Adding that you shouldn't fixate on just getting floor tickets, as "there are truly no bad seats on the Eras Tour", she finished: "Good luck besties, I hope your bank accounts are ready for this, your WiFi is strong, and your patience is stronger."
