Rosalía & Doja Cat 2026 Tour Presale Tickets & Codes
Hey friends! ✨
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably already dreaming about those epic 2026 concert tours coming up – especially Rosalía’s LUX world tour and Doja Cat’s Tour Ma Vie. But let’s be real: getting tickets these days feels like trying to win the lottery, especially with ticket prices rising 20% since 2021!
I’ve been doing some serious research on this because I know how frustrating it can be when you’re ready to snag those perfect seats and they disappear before your eyes. The good news? There are actually some really smart strategies that can give you a major advantage. I looked into all the latest presale methods and industry trends, and I’m excited to share what I found with you!
Why Presale Tickets Are Your Golden Ticket
First things first – what exactly are presale tickets? Basically, they’re special early access periods before the general public sale begins. A presale code is like a special password that lets you buy tickets before everyone else gets the chance. But here’s the important thing to remember: presale codes don’t guarantee tickets – they just give you a head start in the race.
What I’ve noticed is that these early access periods are your best shot at getting better seats at better prices. We’re talking aisle seats, front-row views, center sections – all the prime real estate that disappears within minutes during general sales.
7 Insider Strategies That Actually Work
1. Fan Clubs & Mailing Lists Are Everything
This is hands-down the earliest access you can get! Artists really do reward their most loyal fans, and Rosalía and Doja Cat are no exception. For Rosalía’s LUX tour, there’s an Artist Presale running from Tuesday, December 9 at 2:00 p.m. local time through Thursday, December 11 at 8:00 a.m. local time. The general sale begins December 11 at 9:00 a.m. local time.
For Doja Cat’s Tour Ma Vie, there was a signup deadline back in October 2025 for artist presale access that’s already passed, but there are still other presales to try!
What I’ve found super helpful is signing up for services like Seated, Laylo, or Bandsintown. These platforms often send out presale codes before anyone else knows about them. Just make sure you’re subscribed to the artists’ official newsletters too – sometimes those fan club memberships do have costs, so always read the details before signing up!
2. Credit Card Perks You Didn’t Know About
Okay, this one surprised me too! Did you know that credit card companies like American Express, Citi, Chase, and Capital One offer presale access as cardholder benefits? For Rosalía’s tour, there’s actually an American Express Presale for select North American dates on December 9.
Here’s the insider scoop: for Amex presales, the code is usually the customer service phone number on the back of your card. For Citi, it’s typically the first six digits of your card number, though they’ve been transitioning to account linking for select events. This is such a huge advantage because these presales often happen even before artist presales!
3. Streaming Platforms Are Your Secret Weapon
If you’re a serious Spotify listener, you’re in luck! Spotify’s ‘Fans First’ initiative (which has been running since 2017 and has generated $200 million for artists) actually selects active listeners who follow artists to receive unique presale codes. I found out that Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino confirmed they’re in discussions with Spotify, Apple, and Amazon about presale access for super-premium tier subscribers, though these talks haven’t resulted in programs yet.
The key here is making sure your email notifications are enabled on your streaming accounts. The more you listen to an artist, the more likely you are to be chosen for these exclusive presale opportunities.
4. Don’t Sleep on Venue & Promoter Newsletters
This is one of those under-the-radar tips that can make a huge difference. Almost every arena maintains mailing lists where subscribers receive early announcements and exclusive presale codes. Major promoters like Live Nation and AEG run presales that cover multiple cities and tours.
I’ve signed up for my local venue newsletters and it’s been a total lifesaver. Sometimes they’ll send out codes that aren’t advertised anywhere else, giving you access to tickets that other fans don’t even know are available yet.
5. The Multiple Account Strategy
Now this might sound a bit extra, but hear me out! Signing up for presales using multiple accounts and for multiple concert dates can seriously increase your chances of getting to the front of the queue. The logic is simple: more accounts attempting means better odds that at least one gets through.
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but when you’re up against thousands of other fans trying to get the same tickets, every advantage counts. Just make sure you’re using different email addresses and have all your payment information ready to go. (Quick note: always check the ticketing platform’s terms of service regarding multiple account usage!)
6. Preparation Is Everything
This is probably the most important lesson I’ve learned: preparation makes all the difference. Save your payment information in your ticketing accounts ahead of time for one-click checkout. Log in before the sale starts, set multiple alarms, and be ready to refresh the event page the moment it opens.
One thing I can’t stress enough: don’t overthink seat selection during checkout. The longer you browse, the more likely tickets will disappear from your cart. Have a plan going in about what sections you want and what your budget is.
7. Social Media Monitoring
Artists often post exclusive codes on their Instagram, Facebook, or X stories, bios, or announcements. Venues and promoters do the same for city-specific shows. I’ve also found that radio stations share presale passwords on their websites and social media.
The trick here is to turn on notifications for your favorite artists and venues. Sometimes these codes are only available for a few hours, so you need to be quick!

Industry Trends You Should Know
The concert industry has changed a lot recently, and understanding these trends can help you make smarter decisions. Ticket prices have been rising significantly, with some fans paying over $1,800 for single premium/VIP/resale shows in 2025. Dynamic pricing has sparked fierce criticism during recent tours, with artists like Neil Young and Robert Smith calling it a ‘greedy scam.’
On the technology side, AI tools are now analyzing market trends and buyer behaviors for price prediction, demand forecasting, and fraud detection. NFT ticketing is emerging as a potentially secure, transparent method to reduce fraud, though it’s still a relatively new concept that hasn’t been widely adopted yet.
One timing strategy I’ve found helpful: many tickets actually drop in price over time, especially 24-48 hours before events and in the final hours before showtime. Research shows tickets cost 33% less when purchased the same day!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do presale codes guarantee I’ll get tickets?
A: Unfortunately no – presale codes just give you early access. They don’t guarantee tickets, but they do give you a significant advantage over the general public.
Q: How do I know which presale to try first?
A: Artist and fan club presales typically offer the earliest access, followed by credit card presales, then streaming service presales. I’d recommend trying multiple presales if you can!
Q: What happens if I miss all the presales?
A: Don’t panic! There are often multiple presale waves through additional sponsors or last-minute fan club releases. Also, keep an eye out for tickets that might become available closer to the concert date on verified resale markets.
Q: Are fan club memberships worth the cost?
A: It really depends on how serious you are about getting tickets. For major tours like Rosalía and Doja Cat, the early access can be priceless, but always read the details before signing up.
Q: What about Ticketmaster’s waiting room system?
A: The waiting room opens about 10 minutes before the sale – make sure you’re logged in and ready! Once you’re in, don’t refresh the page or you might lose your spot.
Final Thoughts
Getting presale concert tickets definitely takes some strategy and preparation, but it’s totally doable! The key is starting early, signing up for everything you can, and being ready when those sales go live.
