Internet Pre-Sale on Ticketmaster is the trick.

Internet Pre-Sale on Ticketmaster is the trick. Sometimes yes other times no. I have only had luck with one presale ever releasing any front row tickets. Alot of the times presales will only sell certain blocks of tickets. Your best bet is to try your luck on ticketmaster that morning. If you don't have luck then get out the wallet because you are gonna have to go to ebay or a ticketbroker and pay some crazy amounts. I will be at this event and I will be sitting front row.

I've have been to a ton of events too and never have gotten front row. I recently got a ticket for RAW in Detroit, I got main floor 4th row, camera side. I got my ticket through the presale, but my "best available" first offer, was a ticket in section 100 something, row 5 , I think it was my 20th or so search for a ticket when they finally gave me the ticket I bought , the tickets went on sale at 10am, when I found my 4th row ticket it was about 10:15am. So if you go through a presale, never take the first offer, as i've since learned my lesson since the last presale where I took the first offer, and I ended up with way better seats this time around. Good Luck, and even if you don't get front row, get the best tickets you can, someday you'll get lucky and get front row.

I have a friend who goes to the arena around 3, waits in line at the box office, and just constantly bugs the lady at the desk saying, "what are the best seats you have available right now? .. now? ... what about now?" I'm assuming you would have to be the only one in line to pull that off, but I'm not sure because I've never done it. Just make sure that if you go with no ticket, to get there early. If you want ringside seats and can't get them off of Ticketmaster when they first go on sale, try StubHub or a reliable ticket broker site. It's going to be costly, but it all depends how badly you want them. We all have to deal with it. Occasionally you'll find a great deal on eBay if you know where to look and what sellers have the best prices. Lastly, just try your luck on Ticketmaster the morning they go on sale, but DO NOT keep refreshing the page minutes before they go on sale because recently I tried that, and they blocked me from getting tickets on time. I had to wait 5 minutes after going on sale to search for a pair, it definitely screwed me over, but that's another way they developed to get rid of scalpers whoring all the tickets.
Just be resourceful.
Oh, and as far as what I have gotten in the past, last week I had 4th row behind the announcers for SmackDown/ECW in Boston, and i had gotten them off of StubHub for $116 each, when face value was $80. To me, it was well worth it. I've also gotten 3rd row for Raw, and 2nd for a SuperShow. Raw was bought off of Ticketmaster, so it is possible. Just be quick when you get your tickets, and if you have a chance for floor, don't pass them up because you might get shafted next time, and why take a chance when this is the first time they're in Oklahoma in 2 years.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

And 1 more question, this StubHub, do they always get tickets? Cuz the face value of front row at Raw is $70, and i wouldnt mind paying around $120, but are they certain to get them? Because id hate to wait to try and get them off there and find out they didnt get any

StubHub.com ALWAYS has tickets for every event. If you haven't visited their site before, it's for scalpers who bought tickets with the intention to sell, and they list them on the site. If you go there and type WWE in the search bar, you'll get every event. You MIGHT get lucky and find rows 1-4 for $120 each, but it's tough to say. Just be prepared for the worst is all I can say. If I find anything, I will PM you.

www.ticketsnow.com is the best site for Ringside WWE Tickets in the US. They still have Summerslam front rows etc. The only luck I ever had with getting Ringside Tickets was for the Earls Court, London Shows in April 2007. I bought the top price £66 ($130) Online, and the only reason they were Ringside was because they changed the Seating Plan afterwards. I'd never been so lucky. You should think yourself lucky, most of the time for UK Shows, the $130 Top Price Tickets only get you front of the Lower Tiers, or back of the cornered floors, whereas US Top Price is only $70 for Ringside.

As an employee of a ticket broker, its all about luck. Sitting outside an arena for hours on end could get you front row, and it could get you several rows back. You never know until you're there, and it's never the same twice.
I've tried my luck with all sources and outlets and had various results with each. Just don't get discouraged when you pull up tickets on Ticketmaster, its usually never your best bet to take the first seats you get unless they are exactly what you want.
I've gotten first row for a house show before on my third try, I got row six and seven the first two searches. Its all a matter of luck.

Well, I just found out I could lose my job within the next 90 days so it's definitely not time for me to be going to WWE events.

I've always heard the first three rows are saved for contest winners and the wrestlers family members and such. Is there any truth to that? Punkster, hope you get some great tickets man

Punkster, hope you get some great tickets man No not at alll. While there are some that are reserved for that reason it is def. not the first three rows. Most "comp" tickets will be located on the non camera side.

You only have three options: scalpers, ticket brokers or eBay.

When Smackdown was in the UK last year, I got on the Website 30 Mins late, and somehow got Front Row, a complete fluke! So it is possible.
