Concert and Event Tickets While Traveling
Catching a show abroad is a trip highlight. How to find and book concert, sports and event tickets worldwide, from the US to South Africa to Australia.

Some of the best travel memories are unplanned — stumbling on a concert, a match, or a festival in a city you are just passing through. Booking ahead means you actually get in, rather than finding it sold out.
Where to find tickets
Coverage is regional, so use the platform that serves your destination. Ticketmaster is the giant for events across the US and much of the world. Quicket covers concerts and festivals across South Africa, and Moshtix handles live events across Australia.
Plan around the show
- Check the date early — line up your trip with an event you want to catch.
- Book official — buy from the primary seller to avoid resale markups and scams.
- Mind the venue location — factor transport back to your hotel late at night.
Make a night of it
Sort a transfer or check ride options for getting back after the show, keep your phone online for mobile tickets, and browse other things to do in the city around the event.
What we are watching
Live events are a growing reason to travel, with fans crossing borders for tours and festivals. Booking through the official regional platform — and planning the logistics around the show — is what turns a great gig into a smooth night out abroad.
