How does Capital One presale work?

If you’ve ever wanted to get tickets to the hottest concert or the big game, you know how helpful it is to have early access. Eligible Capital One cardholders can purchase exclusive presale tickets to unforgettable music, sports, entertainment and dining events before the general public. 

What you’ll learn:

• Eligible Capital One cardholders can access tickets to popular events before they’re available to the general public through Capital One presales.

• Past Capital One experiences—including iHeartRadio concerts and festivals, the MLB™ World Series™ and the James Beard Foundation’s Taste America®—were part of presale events.

• Getting access to presales usually involves entering a code, like the first six digits of your Capital One credit or debit card, and then using your Capital One card to purchase tickets.

Capital One presales give eligible Capital One cardholders the chance to secure tickets before the general public. If you’re an eligible Capital One cardholder, you might find presales to: 

• Concerts

• VIP packages

• Artist meet and greets

• Athlete meet and greets

• Exclusive sound-check parties 

Capital One Entertainment offers eligible cardholders early access to can’t-miss events and experiences: 

• Music: Snag tickets to see your favorite artists and bands. Plus, get access to meet and greets, premium seats, complimentary food and beverages, exclusive sound checks and more.

Presales are open to eligible Capital One cardholders. You can learn more about upcoming events by following Capital One on Instagram.

Once you know presale dates, consider setting a reminder to avoid missing your opportunity and have your eligible Capital One card ready. Keep in mind that some tickets may be limited or have age restrictions.

The price of a presale ticket can vary based on the event, the organizers and overall demand.

Because presale events give you early access to a wider range of pricing options, you may be able to find more affordable tickets. But keep in mind that some presale tickets, such as those for priority, early entry and cardholder-only events, may have additional costs.

If you can’t wait to get your hands on tickets to an unforgettable concert, game or culinary experience before the general public, look no further than Capital One presale events. 

If you already have an eligible Capital One card, you’re one step closer. If not, now might be the time to compare cards and see whether you’re pre-approved for a Capital One rewards card. Pre-approval won’t affect your credit scores, and it only takes a few steps.
