    Get to the outlet a few hours before general sale.

    Be first in line to get the ticket before they sell out.

    Bring your ticket, some money and nice clothes to the gig.

    Enjoy:D

    You can also get gigs pre-recorded on compact disc, vinyl and cassette. If you go into any music shop they should be able to help you to get a few gigs.

    Are there any gigs in particular you're looking for? I have a good few gigs on CD here such as Queen Live At Wembley and Neil Young Unplugged. I find this method a very convenient and inexpensive way to get them.

    It's not just a single thread, it's a whole forum! ;) Once we establish just what it is that the thread starter is looking for then we can get the thread moved somewhere more appropriate if necessary.

    You'd be surprised. Sometimes it's better to get clarity.
