Why are live events so popular? Is it the thrill of getting up close to your favourite stars of the radio and screen? Is it the prospect of a night out that doesn't involve sitting in the pub like you do every night? Whatever your reason, there's no doubt that the prospect of going to a concert or going to the theatre is extremely popular, with ticket sales staying strong even during the recession.

Unfortunately, the ticketing industry is rife with touts and people looking to monopolise the tickets when they go on sale so that they can sell them on at vastly inflated prices so they can make as much of a profit as possible, without worrying how this might be affecting fans that want to go. There are a number of websites, such as GetMeIn and Viagogo, that attempt to combat this practise by letting fans sell tickets that they either ordered by accident or can no longer use on to other fans at more reasonable prices. The website Big Ticket Shop collates the tickets being offered by these websites for you so you can compare prices for events from a variety of sources. It's a quick and easy service that saves you time and money if you miss out on tickets when they originally go on sale.

You'd be hard-pushed to find an event or gig that the website doesn't cover it doesn't matter whether it's a music gig, theatrical performance or sporting event. You can find a wide range of concert tickets UK, including the comeback of the legendary Queen as they collaborate with American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert at several shows across the UK this summer and the arena tour of teen heart-throbs One Direction early in 2013.

In addition, the website has cheap theatre tickets for musicals including the multi-Olivier Award-winning Matilda and long-running classics like The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera, as well as plays that are both West End staples (such as The Woman in Black and The Mousetrap) and are on for limited runs, such as the National Theatre's upcoming production of William Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, starring Simon Russell Beale.

Because tickets for sporting events are often allocated by football or rugby clubs, these can be a bit more hit-and-miss, but there have been tickets for high-profile boxing matches, La Liga matches taking place at Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium and England Test cricket matches advertised in the past.

In years gone by you would have had to turn up at the venue early and try to find a tout with a ticket to sell if you'd already missed out on them, but now you don't have to. The wide range of events that this website covers should mean that, as long as you have the money for your ticket, you never have to miss out on seeing your favourite band or team.
