hey guys I'm bill from gcflearnfree.org
and today I want to talk about how to
buy tickets online you know you can buy
tickets to just about anything online
these days from movies to sporting
events concerts and a whole lot more now
if you've never bought tickets online
before the process might feel a little
confusing but we're gonna walk you
through it step by step there are a lot
of different ticketing websites and the
one you use will really depend on the
type of event you're going to for
example if you're buying tickets to a
movie you'll probably use a site like
Fandango if you're buying tickets for a
concert you'll probably buy them through
your Ticketmaster or a ticket fly and if
you're buying a ticket for a sporting
event such as a baseball game the
ticketing system might be very specific
to that one website in this example I'm
gonna buy tickets for an upcoming
concert when you're on the event website
look for an option that says buy tickets
this will usually take you to a
different page and you can select the
number of tickets that you want next
you'll need to choose how you'll receive
your tickets we almost always recommend
the print-at-home option as it's gonna
be free other options will cost more
money and take you a lot longer to get
the tickets at this point many services
will request that you create an account
or sign in if you happen to have one the
confirmation page will appear from here
you'll need to enter your payment
information like your credit card along
with your address email and so on now
it's worth pointing out that almost all
online ticketing sites require you to
pay some kind of service fee basically
you're paying for the convenience of
being able to buy your tickets online
rather than buying them at the event
once you're finished you'll usually
receive an email with a PDF copy of your
tickets you can then print these so you
can take them to the event now if you
have a smartphone you may not actually
need to print the ticket at all as long
as you can view the ticket on your
device many venues will be able to scan
the ticket right from there so those are
the basic steps for buying tickets
online and remember that there may be
some variation depending on the event
you're going to
or the site that you have to use to buy
the tickets for me personally that small
service fee you have to pay is really
worth the convenience that you get with
buying a ticket online that might not
always be the case but it's just
something to be aware of anyway that's
all we have thanks so much for joining
us and the next time you're going to an
event consider buying your ticket online
it might just save you a lot of time and
hassle
