Resale sites show a range of prices&#44; with cheaper tickets generally in higher or farther-back sections and higher prices closer to the stage&#44; and some marketplaces already noting that only a small percentage of tickets remain. To get cheaper tickets&#44; focus on upper-level or rear lower-level seats rather than front-center sections or VIP packages&#44; compare several ticket sites&#44; sort by lowest price&#44; and buy early so affordable seats don’t sell out and push you into more expensive sections.

To save money and reduce stress&#44; prepay for parking online at the $15+tax rate&#44; which is cheaper than paying $20+tax on arrival&#44; and arrive early to park closer to exits even if it means a slightly longer walk.

Question 12

What is the best overall strategy to keep the Sugar Land night affordable?

Accepted Answer
