I'm currently waiting to enter a Ticketmaster queue. Send snacks.
Seriously, I HATE the ticket-buying process. I've been forever scarred by Eurovision 2023. The combination of adrenaline, pressure, and crashing disappointment provided the fraughtest morning of my life. It was my own fault for wanting to attend something popular. 
My normal gig choices are less high-profile. I stumble across an event, check out what's left, then buy tickets months after release. I like it that way. Easy peasy, lemo...
