An Advance Presale is a short early-access window that opens before the public onsale. A defined block of tickets is made available with per-order limits and a specific start/stop time. Entering the presale code unlocks that inventory and any price tiers released for the window. Because these are often run by different partners across markets, details like timing, code format, and which sections are released can vary by date and venue.

Common operators include the event promoter, the hosting venue, media partners like radio, and sometimes festival partners. Access is typically given to that partner’s audience: venue newsletter subscribers, radio contest listeners, or local sponsor sign-ups. Each partner may distribute codes to their own lists or via official event posts.
