[SpyNote]

Most venues hold back good seats for promotional purposes or for the band. They usually get released a month or later before the show when they don't need them anymore. That's how I've usually scored front row seats, or seats within the first five rows. But you have to be vigilant and check multiple times per day. Here on The Ledge, we used to give a heads up when seats suddenly became available on Ticketmaster. There may even be mobile apps now to alert you.
