What's a good ticket broker for front row seats in the UK?!
Question: There are a couple of shows coming up that I really wanna go to in Manchester and Nottingham. I'm looking for a good ticket broker that can hook me up with front row seats. Even if they are expensive it's ok because I'm coming all the way from the US so I think it'll be worth it to pay extra for front row seats. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming that you want to go to a gig that is already sold out or selling well?
I'd stay clear of all online brokers as they'll charge a fortune and in lots of cases don't actually have the tickets they claim to have, as has been well documented on UK tv.
You've basically got 2 options: The first is e-bay. There are always tickets on e-bay for top gigs and concerts and somebody somewhere will be offering the best tickets. It'll cost you, but if you're that keen it'll be worth it. Just check the sellers feedback and make sure they've been selling tickets for a while, and if they don't have the tickets in hand ask them to send you the confirmation e-mail they will have recieved when buying the tickets, that way you know they actually have them. Pay by Paypal also to cover yourself.
Your other option is to wait, which might not be preferable to you.
Most gigs put tickets back on sale closer to the time of the show and these are normally "production returns". As a result these a normally very good seats. Try official ticket outlets like Ticketmaster and Seetickets etc, but be aware that these tickets go very quickly and you might not get them.
I'd say try ebay.co.uk
Hope that helps!
Phone the venue direct and they should be able to get you front row tickets. Thats what I do for operas etc. Look up a map of the venue on the web, decide where you want to sit and ring them up. Hope this helps!
