Not that I am agreeing with Ed, but he is correct that American Express has some deal where card holders can PURCHASE tickets to events before the tickets are available to the general public. I have seen Visa and MasterCard do the same thing. They get to do this because they are generally sponsors of the event or venue.

The Villages could probably do this for events at our venues by the use of a special website. But as soon as they do someone will be here crying and moaning about how The Villagers receive special treatment. It is a no win situation. So the tickets go on sale to all at the same time. If you want tickets to a popular show, you better be online when the tickets go on sale. No standing in line at a box office!
