Pro Tips For Securing SUGA Tickets
The crew at Grimy Goods have bought thousands of concerts tickets through the course of our lives. We’re fans, helping fans and we ain’t gonna gatekeep our hot tips for getting tickets to high demand shows like SUGA. So here we go:
On the real, your best chance at getting those SUGA tickets is to go through the process of getting an ARMY MEMBERSHIP, and then signing up for the ARMY MEMBER Verified Fan presale.
Once you’ve received your SUGA presale invitation and access code, here’s some very helpful advice to makes sure you don’t get left in the stardust the day tickets go on sale.
First, select your desired SUGA tour dates and save/bookmark the ticket page for quick access the day of the on sale.
Second, set up some calendar alerts on your phone to remind you of the on sale date and time. We highly recommend you also set up a very annoyingly loud phone alarm an hour before the on sale takes place. YOU DO NOT WANT TO SNOOZE, because you will lose.
The day of the on sale, login to your Ticketmaster account (go to my account in upper right corner) at least 20 minutes ahead of the presale time. If you don’t have one, create one now. Next, be sure to add your billing info (aka credit card details) for a quick check-out.
Once the presale begins, remain in the digital queue. Don’t refresh you page, do be patient, don’t leave your page, do act quick when selecting your tickets.
You don’t want to mess around too much here comparing ticket prices and seats. When you spend too much time doing that, you can and probably will lose tickets to another fan. Know your budget, and know which area you want to get seats or floor tickets. Check out the KIA Forum map here or below for a better idea of where you want to sit or stand. And remember, the top of the 200s (aka the nosebleed) seats will always be the most affordable.
Please note: this is a standard KIA Forum seating chart. The floor arrangement can often change dependent on the performer in order to give fans a more custom experience. You will see the final floor arrangement once you have access to purchase tickets.

What To Do If Tickets Are Sold Out?
If tickets sell out, your other option is to buy them via online resellers like VividSeats or StubHub. When all else fails, we prefer these resell options because both offer a 100% Guarantee. You can also purchase resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s resell program. Just search for the concert or event you want to attend, and see if they have any resell tickets available. We recommend you compare the three options and find out which works best for you.
Alternatively, you can hit it old school style and show up at the concert when the box office opens and wish upon a star that they release more tickets, or hopefully, another concert-goer has an extra ticket to sell at face-value or even giveaway for free. Trust, this happens more often than not! We’ve given away many tickets to sold-out shows simply because our +1 couldn’t make it.
Also, more standard tickets are often released via Ticketmaster 1-3 days leading up to the show date. We’ve seen it with Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Arctic Monkeys and many more! It’s a secret gatekeeped by many, but if you’re reading this, now you know! So be sure to set your calendar notifications!
