Foo Fighters’ pre-sale, designed to foil online ticket brokers, starts Saturday

The first round of ticket sales for the Sept. 30 Foo Fighters concert at Intrust Bank Arena will start on Saturday morning using a “Beat the Bots” approach that’s new to Wichita.

The system is intended to let fans get first dibs on the best seats before online ticket “bots” buy them all up.

Those interested in tickets can begin lining up inside Intrust Bank Arena beginning at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Sales will start at 10 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. or when available tickets run out.

Fans will be limited to two tickets a person for general admission floor seats and four tickets a person for lower bowl reserved seats. The upper bowl seats will not be for sale. Ticket prices should be available later today.

Fans will be limited to two tickets a person for general admission floor seats and four tickets a person for reserved seats. Tickets will cost $35, $55 and $75.

Any remaining tickets and upper bowl seats will go on on sale starting at 10 a.m. Dec. 5. They will be available at the Intrust Bank Arena box office, at Select-A-Seat outlets, by calling 316-755-SEAT or at www.selectaseat.com.
