Pre Sales of concert tickets is as far as I can tell a relatively new phenomenon. The first instance I can find of them dates back to 2003 with Coldplay but it may have been going on longer than that but I'm not sure.

Perhaps this has a lot to do with the internet era and artists websites giving pre sales tickets for fans. Back in the old days everyone would be able to buy tickets on a set date and not before that.

Not all pre sales tickets give you the best seats. I found that out with The Saturdays pre sales tickets strangely enough!

I've heard of them in the past few years. I think they're brilliant because it's often so difficult to get hold of tickets on the actual day of release, what with the competition and all the ticket touts snatching them up.
