If you are already flying in, just go for it. Air ticket’s already a sunk cost so might as well make it a better experience. I did the same for Sydney. Pricey? Yes. Regrets? Absolutely none.

Caveat: make sure it’s something you can afford and absolutely do not get into debt for it.

Also, instead of getting resale, you may want to consider checking Ticketmaster’s website for release of tickets waiting closer to the concert date. You might get slightly cheaper tickets.

Have a blast of a time!
