Answer Question

Here’s how to get American Express presale tickets through Ticketmaster:

Find the event you want to attend on Ticketmaster.

Click “Ticket Type” at the top of the page where seating options are listed.

Select “American Express Card Member Presale.”

Choose your tickets and check out. You’ll need a Ticketmaster account to log in and pay.

Pay with your Amex card, Amex points (redeemable in 2,000-point increments), or a combination of the two.

If you’re a diehard fan of an artist or show, American Express presale tickets can help guarantee you a seat (and even a good one). Amex sells these tickets through a partnership with Ticketmaster. Plus, the best part is that this benefit is open to all American Express cardholders.

Having said that, it is also worth noting that you need at least good credit for approval. And apart from your credit score and income, Amex will also take various other factors into consideration, like your credit history and any debts you might have.
