I've had absolute mares buying tickets in the past. Queue for ages, get them in your basket and then you still can't check out for some reason. So stressful.
We tend to just pre-order or buy direct from ticketmaster retailers now. They tend to be hidden in travel or estate agencies and people forget about them. My hubby bought the rep tickets but I think all he did was phone one place a few days before. Admittedly the demand was lower, but still, works for in demand concerts too. The mad thing is, I buy pretty much everything else online. I've just been burned too many times.
