The live experience of Gorillaz is a culmination of over 20 years of boundary-breaking, innovative music created by Damon Albarntt and Jamie Hewlet. The band members, including singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle, and drummer Russel Hobbs, have produced an extensive collection of timeless hits such as “Clint Eastwood,” “Rock The House,” “Feel Good Inc.,” “Dirty Harry,” “Kids With Guns,” and many others.

What is the Gorillaz Presale Code?
To get Gorillaz presale tickets you will need a presale code or official platinum tickets (more info on those below). The first Gorillaz presale will begin Wednesday, May 31st at 10am local time. Select from any of the presale options below.
Promoter Presale
A Live Nation promoter presale will take place on Wednesday, May 31st at 10am local time. Select the city you want to see the Gorillaz and then use the following presale code at check out: DISCO.
Official Platinum Presale
An Official Platinum presale will also begin Wednesday, May 31st at 10am local time. You do not need a presale code to take part in this presale, but expect the ticket prices to be higher. Get more details on Official Platinum tickets below.
What Are Those Official Platinum Tickets?
If you’re seeing very expensive tickets that are not VIP, those are official platinum tickets. These tickets are very expensive and are offered well over the standard ticket prices. They’re the kind of ticket pricing that is unfair to fans. The Event Organizer(s) has priced these tickets according to their market value (aka dynamic pricing). In other words, ticket pricing can go up or down, and it usually goes up.
Artists can choose not to offer Official Platinum or limit the amount for charity purposes. The Cure, Pearl Jam and U2 have all been recognized as artists that don’t use these dynamic pricing tactics.
Official platinum tickets do not include VIP packages. The only positive thing about them is they make buying floor or front-row tickets to a high-demand concert very easy if you’re willing to shed the extra coin. They can be bought during a presale without a presale code (doesn’t always apply to Verified Fan). Availability and pricing for official platinum tickets are subject to change based on demand.
If money is not an object, you should definitely bank on the convenience of getting Official Platinum tickets.
Pro Tips When Buying Your Tickets
First, on the day of the presale or general onsale (whichever you prefer), login to your Ticketmaster account (go to my account or sign in located on the upper right corner of the page) at least 15 minutes ahead of the sale time. If you don’t have one, create one now.
Be sure to add your billing info (aka credit card info) before jumping into the digital queue for a quick check-out. Once the presale starts, remain in the digital queue. Only use one browser window because using multiple browsers or devices and multiple accounts with the same phone number can result in errors. Trust, it’s happened to us before! Don’t refresh your page, do be patient, don’t leave your page, do get those 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!
