Dodgy ticketing agencies are the result of stopping scalpers at the gates. Booking companies in Macau, Las Vegas, or Singapore took sports betting off the streets to regulate it and prevent abusive pricing or tactics. Similar to casinos, these agencies need to be reined in with regulations and transparent oversight. 

“Dynamic pricing” for Green Day, Oasis in Australia is less than ideal. Did you see what Coldplay tickets were going for in India? The simplicity of digital purchasing surrenders some security and we need to research trustworthy, data-secure companies with crystal-clear systems that are easy to use.

If I replay an A-League, AFL, or Australian Open 2025 match for profit, I can be sure a violation is forthcoming. Industry regulation complaint agencies such as Queen of Tickets filter through digital scalpers and secure your ticket purchase with a refund guarantee. Being 100% Aussie-owned means the business stays within our borders.

Find a site that is easy to use. I like the option to set alarms or get in a first purchase queue for future dates for Crowded House, Savage Garden, Tame Impala, or AC/DC. I received an e-mail notification identifying planned sales dates and am prepared.

We have some of the world’s best sports venues and performance sites to catch The Reds or Sooshi Mango. They have massive capacities and sell out quickly. No ticket should be sold for 10% above face value and large corporate-sponsored facilities have legal teams design their tickets for control. 

What was the last concert or live event you have attended? I don’t know about you, but I like live sports. I could not be asked to watch any match on a screen. The energy of the crowd is half the show. Would you prefer ten people at home snacking through a game or 50,000 screaming fans? Ok, cricket is a commitment. 

Was the ODI World Cup win outrageous? The three-peeting Penrith Panthers final was one for the books. We cannot get to all the great games and shows. We can stretch our ticket dollars with loyalty programs from ticket brokers. 

Bounce check ticket vendors and their systems against the government warnings and guidelines provided under new consumer protection laws. Hotel reservations, gym memberships, concerts, subscriptions, airline tickets and online shopping traps can be avoided with education and reference guides. 

Place some Metallica, Graham Norton, or Bob Geldof tickets under your Christmas tree as a gift you get to enjoy with your spouse. Why wait? The dates are listed. Tickets are on sale now. Advanced booking allows agents to securely purchase bulk tickets and deliver lower prices to you.

Live life at live events. We are forced to use all our senses when we are in person. The sight and sound experience of broadcast entertainment is no comparison. It will do if by distance or expense, I cannot be in attendance. For me, a televised event is background music. 

I want to be in the crowd and experience it all for deeper, more vibrant memories to recall as a dusty retiree.
