I'm setting up the battle of the credit card concierges.
Tickets for BTS (a K-pop group) at Citi Field in NYC go on sale at 4 on Friday. At 4 on Friday I will be at the airport getting ready to board a flight that leaves at 4:50. You can buy a max of 8 tickets for the show, and I need 4 tickets in order to secure my place as mom of the year. So, I called both the Amex Plat and Visa Infinite concierges to ask about getting tickets. Neither company is sponsoring the show, so they don't have any advance access, but both services will work to get tickets for me as soon as they go on sale. I'm going to ask both to try to get me 4 tickets - if one succeeds, I'm in great shape. If both succeed, then I am pretty sure DD will know someone else who will want the extra tickets. Should be an interesting experiment!
Visa is supposed to call me today (24 hours in advance of when tix go on sale) to confirm I want the tickets and get billing info. For Amex, I am supposed to call them 15 minutes before tickets go on sale.
