While going online to buy concert and show tickets is often the only option for someone who lives far away from a theater, it can be expensive due to vendor fees. Going to a box office or theater website directly can get you tickets at face value, and save you money compared to some alternatives. Many venues have both sitting and standing room, where the standing tickets are cheaper. Many tickets available on ticket auction websites are sold below face value, but these deals are usually bought up quickly. The fan clubs of your favorite artists may offer special deals on close-to-stage seats.
