Advice for getting tickets for the 2nd leg?

Don't you have to punch in an AMEX code to access the tickets?

Fantastic! Thanks. Also, do you guys recommend buying the first set of tickets you get when they come up? If you're not happy and want to risk going for better seats, is there a chance there will then be none left?

Just wanted to know if anyone who's participated in the AMEX pre-sales in the past have had to use their AMEX cards to pay for the tickets as well as getting into the pre-sale with the code mentioned above?

Do you absolutely have to use that card or can you purchase them with another method?

I've always bought pre-sale tickets with the AMEX card since I had no reason to use a different method. I would hope that only AMEX cards would be accepted because it's one of the perks offered in exchange for a high annual fee. (I got the card primarily for earning frequent flier miles.) If anyone could buy pre-sale tickets without the card then it's not worth the high annual fee.

Thank you for all the great tips! Is there any real difference in calling in to buy tickets and buying them online (other than the obvious)? I hate the fact that you have to keep clicking the refresh button to find better tickets and then run the risk of getting locked out. :/ Is that something you avoid over the phone?

Also, with the pre-sales, I'm a little confused. For Nashville, there is the AMEX pre-sale, then there is the Facebook pre-sale, and also a Live Nation pre-sale. I'm guessing the AMEX pre-sale is the best? What's strange though is that the VIP pre-sale comes first, THEN the Facebook pre-sale. You'd think they would release the better seats for the AMEX sale. Hmmm...

NO, there is an allocation of tickets for each pre-sale. It's not a case of ALL the best seats being offered in the first Amex sale. In fact, if enough people do the Amex sale you will probably get worse tickets than if you hold off to the later sales.
