For most major tours, Bruno Mars tickets typically go on sale to the general public on a Friday at 10:00 AM local venue time. But here’s the kicker: the real action happens days before. You can’t just show up on Friday and expect a miracle—you have to play the game.
To know the exact date for a specific show, you need to sign up for his official newsletter or follow his verified social media accounts. He usually announces a tour with a flashy video, and the sale dates are buried in the caption like a treasure map.
The Secret Weapon: Presales
Here’s where you get a leg up on the crowd. The general on-sale is for amateurs; the presales are where tickets are actually won. These happen 24 to 72 hours before the public sale and are your best shot at getting seats that aren’t behind a pillar.
You’ll need a presale code, which usually comes from being an American Express cardholder, a Ticketmaster Verified Fan, or a member of Bruno’s fan club. Pro tip: Set a reminder for 8:00 AM on the presale day, and have your payment info already loaded. The countdown clock on Ticketmaster is not a suggestion—it’s a war drum.
