Wake up early. Like, absurdly early. You want to be logged into Ticketmaster at least 30 minutes before the sale starts. If you click the link at 9:59 for a 10:00 sale, you might as well be sending a polite letter asking Ariana to play in your backyard. It won’t happen.
Now, brace yourself for the waiting room. This digital purgatory will tell you how many people are ahead of you. If you see “There are 200,000 people ahead of you,” do not panic. That’s a normal Tuesday. You can use this time to question your life choices and practice deep breathing.
