It’s always exciting when you manage to get concert tickets for your favourite band. However, how excited would you be if you managed to get them 48 hours before anybody else? Well, that’s entirely possible now, thanks to o2. They’ve launched a new scheme which allows you to buy priority tickets up to 48 hours before anybody else which means you should be way ahead of everyone else!

The cool thing is that even if you’re not an o2 customer, you can still go and grab yourself a cheap o2 sim card or a cheap contract and there you go you’ve got access to the early release concert tickets. These tickets are available 48 hours before general release which means you really are going to get some great seats.

However, the tickets are available to you simply if you’re an o2 customer so if you get yourself a pay as you go sim card and use it for a couple of weeks you should then have access to these concert tickets yourself. It doesn’t matter what sort of music you like, the tickets that are available are for any band, gig, show or festival that’s played in the o2 arenas or academy.

There are currently hundreds of artists playing live and you could get yourself some music tickets way before anybody else. The only down side is that once the tickets are gone, they’re gone so you will have to be fast. However, you can sign up to get updates from o2 which should put you in front of a few people.

Even if you don’t sign up to get the priority tickets - say you have a friend that’s on o2 - you can sign up to get updates about who’s playing and where. This means you’ll still have the knowledge that the tickets are going on sale and you can then prepare yourself 48 hours in advance to get yourself a ticket.

All in all, if you love live shows of any kind then getting concert tickets is probably your number one priority on a regular basis. However, if you sign up to o2, you can get yourself some concert tickets way before general release and even if you don’t at least you’ll know what’s going to be available at other online ticket stores.
