  (It is only a $1.00/month to become one!)
  Ask/offer on her chat FOREVER CHATLANDIA! {for all!},
  either with Patreon's app or with a web browser using this link.
  

• Call the box office daily.

• Check the web site selling tickets daily.

• Try the ticket selling websites.
  

Be careful about scalpers & thieves.
A far number of fake tickets are sold.

Better to sell on the above, than buy on them.

At the Venue

• Ask at the Box Office (don't trust the venue's Security Staff to know).
• Go to the front of the line, ask for what you need, walk a few people,
  ask again,
  repeat until the end of the line
  That is, ASK, as Amanda details in her Ted Talk & book.
  
• At the end of the line, go back to the box office,
  then go back to the start of the line.
  repeat.
  
  • Avoid scalpers. Their tickets might not be legit.
  • A sign doesn't hurt, but also ask verbally.
  • Being dressed for the show or to brigade helps.
• You'll at least meet a lot of awesome new friends!!!

I One reason this usually works,
is that Amanda/Brian/D.Dolls fans buy tickets early.
Then something prevents one of their group from coming.

Always best to buy tickets as soon as they go on sale.
