Should I buy my plane tickets before I buy main show tickets?

How easy is it to get late concert tickets? I want to go again on the 9/9.
Are Ticketmaster still putting tickets up for sale or is this just done as a last minute thing on the day?
The air fare will increase the nearer it gets to the concert date.

Ticket Disaster seem to be releasing tickets at last minute on the day before or the day itself as they usually do. Last minute air fares in my experience have either been ridiculously high or surprisingly ok but it depends on the airline.

Personally I think it'll be costly if you leave air fare to last minute but then again, if you don't get tickets at last minute for the show, it's kinda like a wasted journey. ALTHOUGH - you could always go sight-seeing biggrin

What's the situation like with touts around the O2? I got off at North Greenwich so didn't see the roads leading up to 02 - I know around Millennium Stadium & even Earl's Court you'll always find touts selling tickets on the day. My friends got Rolling Stones tickets for Millennium Stadium for £30 each literally 5 mins before the show started.

I'm no advocate of touts mind you but I guess if you were at a loose end it's an option...

Didn't really answer question did I? I would personally buy plane tickets first.

Well thanks anyway Dan. I could always just buy the aftershow tix and at least have that to go to.

Agreed, get your flights now, get the aftershow tickets now and check ticketmaster at 3pm the day before. If there's only a couple of you getting main show tickets shouldn't be a problem. Have faith, chill out and everything will happen exactly as it's supposed to.

And remember: You only ever regret the things that you don't do. smile

Yeah, book the plane now. Even if there's a freashish occurance and Ticketmaster don't release anything in the day, there's always the last minute sellers on this forum.
