Who gets a Local presale code?

It varies between campaigns - commonly the recipients of a local presale password will include venue email subscribers, SMS club members, and fans in the metro area who follow the venue or promoter. Some local codes are posted on the venues event calendar page; others are sent directly to subscriber lists or local partner channels.

Why do tours and venues run Local presales?

Local presales reward nearby fans, build community goodwill, and help venues grow their lists. They also generate early momentum and clear demand signals before the wider onsale—giving fans a legitimate way to buy earlier at the primary box office.

Pro tips: Be logged in, have payment ready, and know the exact start time—Local codes often move quickly.

When are Local codes announced?

Frequently the day before or morning of the presale, sometimes alongside the event announcement. Venues may tease the drop time in email/SMS or post the keyword right as the window opens.

What tickets are available?

A dedicated allocation for the Local window. Not always front-row, but it’s primary inventory temporarily locked behind the password. Expect standard order limits and typical fees.

Are Local presales linked to others?

Often, yes. Local windows may run alongside venue/promoter, artist, radio, or card-partner presales. If the Local window ends, another may follow the same day. For venue-specific windows, see our Venue presales.

I live here—why didn’t I get the code?

You may not be on the venue’s list yet, you missed a short posting window, or you’re slightly outside the target region. Confirm your subscriptions, enable notifications, and check the venue’s event page and socials during the announce week. Some codes are broadly shared; others are limited to subscribers only.
