Bon Jovi fans have revealed a 'miracle' Ticketmaster hack ahead of today's general sale (buy tickets via Live Nation and Ticketmaster).
Next summer, the legendary rockers will perform a whopping eight nights at Madison Square Gardens in New York.
The Livin' on a Prayer hitmakers will then head to the UK and Ireland for gigs in Edinburgh, London, and Dublin.
The tour announcement comes almost six years after Jon Bon Jovi took a break from the spotlight to focus on his health, so tickets are in high demand.
In the countdown to the general sale, fans are sharing a little-known hack for securing tickets, no matter how long the queue is.
On Reddit, one fan shared their presale experience: "Absolutely wild experience. It wouldn’t let me in the waiting room, kept asking for an authentication code, and then freezing when I entered the code.
"Tried nine times. On the 10th try, it made me change my password, and 20 minutes later at 9.05am, I was in queue position 15,649.
"As expected, no tickets left. I didn’t give up though, I kept refreshing and refreshing, and by some miracle, two resale face value standing tickets appeared and I grabbed them right away."
A second also found that refreshing the page helped them to bag tickets, as they wrote: "Exact same experience for me. I was 11,000th in the queue for Edinburgh and 33,000th for Wembley. Sold out when I got in, but kept refreshing every so often over the next few hours and managed to get pitch tickets for Edinburgh."
A third fan said, "I had a strange experience. I was in the queue for Wembley - started at 19,000th(ish). Sold out when I got in.
"BUT I kept going back to the page through the day, and picked up two pitch tickets for Edinburgh."
So, there you have it, it's worth refreshing the page to secure tickets if you're struggling to find availability.
