One type of reserved ticket is for transportation on buses, planes, trains and shuttles. Customers may purchase tickets online or in person at the transportation kiosk. Airline tickets are usually booked in advance with a travel agent or online service. The tickets on airplanes specify a specific seat for the passenger. However, trains and buses are almost always general admission, so passengers choose their own seats.
Most movie theaters now offer online services where customers can purchase tickets in advance. They can either print the tickets at home or pick up their tickets at the box office. Though movie theaters charge an online service fee, it is very convenient to buy the tickets beforehand. Some theaters even allow customers to buy tickets to a movie that has not yet been released, so they don't have to wait in long lines or risk not getting into the movie at their desired showtime. Buy movie tickets at the theater's website or on a ticket hub site.
Concerts, parties and hot spot night clubs all offer reserved tickets. It is important to purchase tickets in advance to crowded events because of their limited space. Without a reserved ticket they may not grant you admission. Also, clubs and parties usually offer special discounts if you buy a ticket in advance. For instance, you may see on the event website a ticket price and an at-the-door price, which are usually about $5 to $10 different.
Almost every type of live performance requires attendees to purchase reserved tickets in advance. These performances include television show recordings, Broadway productions, professional sports games, stand-up comedy shows and more. Like the other events, the ticket may specify a specific seat or general admission. Buy tickets on the event website or at ticket hub site. An email confirmation of payment is usually the equivalent of a reserved ticket, but double check with the venue of the performance to be sure.
