ELI5: Every time I buy pre-sale concert tickets, or log on immediately during public sale times, I always get terrible seats, even when using the "Best Available" option and searching for the highest price. How are other people getting their good seats closer to the stage?

A lot of seats are already accounted for even before they go on sale. You've got VIP seating, tickets that are given to various local radio stations, internet sites, magazines, etc., for contest giveaways. You could potentially have corporate accounts that get a block of seats automatically for events.

Plus, many scalpers use programs to buy up tickets when they go on sale that are able to buy them much faster than any human could.
