Following years of pandemic-era restrictions, there has never been a greater demand for in-person events. Major acts like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran are packing arenas worldwide with unprecedented sales, while sporting venues are once again packed with spectators. Not only are tickets harder to get, they are substantially more expensive than in the pre-pandemic world. The Taylor Swift-Ticketmaster debacle proved just how difficult (and costly) it can be for fans to see the shows they’ve been waiting years for.
Luckily, you can get tickets to your favorite events and save cash in the process – with the right credit card. Credit card issuers have recognized the allure of live entertainment and forged partnerships. In response, they have created programs that grant cardholders access to premium experiences. Several banks have their own entertainment portals through which members can access discounts and presale tickets to global events. All you need is a qualifying credit card and you’ll get access to these exclusive perks.
Regardless of whether you’re a music fan or looking to cheer on your favorite team, you will probably end up paying for your tickets with a credit card. If you have the right one in your wallet, you might get better seats and stretch your budget further. Here’s a look at how to get valuable perks at global events and concerts with your credit card:

Here’s why you should never close your credit cards before the 1-year mark
One of the biggest mistakes I see people making when they begin their points and miles journey is to rapidly open tons of travel rewards credit cards without any plan for what they're going to do with them. Some cards might entice you with a large welcome bonus, and others will be long-term keepers, but it's possible that after 11 months of using the card and experiencing its benefits, you might change your mind about it and cancel the credit card before the annual fee is due.

But I found myself on United Airlines flights more often than not when flying long-haul routes, first from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and then after a cross-country move in 2016 from Dulles International Airport (IAD). So, I decided to go all-in and get an airline-affiliated credit card, namely the United℠ Explorer Card.
