Timing, patience key to nabbing affordable concert, sports resale tickets: fans
BNN Bloomberg
When Jagger Long heads to the Rogers Centre to watch a Toronto Blue Jays match, you'll often spot him in the first row behind home plate and at Scotiabank Arena, he's a pro at snagging seats with access to the venue's tunnel where you can bump fists with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There's seldom a show or game that goes by that the Toronto-based personal trainer-turned-resale ticket website owner can't get access to — and sometimes, he and his Karma Tickets customers don't even wind up paying full price to attend.
It's an impressive feat given how ticket prices for many concerts and sports events have soared and shows with top billing artists like Drake, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé sell out within minutes, often forcing many to the resale market where seats can go for thousands of dollars.
Yet Long and other live music and sports fans insist there are still ways to save, if you time your purchase and stay patient.
