Amex Presales: Introduction
Amex sponsors TONS of events, concerts, sporting events such as the US Open, Golf tournaments and theater productions such as Wicked. This post will unmask the Amex GCE or Gold Card Events presale password, and explain how you can get access to presale tickets without a gold card.


Step 1: You need an American Express card to make the final payment at Ticketmaster, it could be a Green card or a Platinum card, but regardless, to buy AMEX GCE tickets during a presale, you need an American Express card.

Step 2: You need to know what events are going on sale, and you have to plan ahead as to which performance you want to see!

American Express has created RSS news feeds of their Gold Card Events all across America. Now, Broadway is in Eastern, and San Francisco is Western, I'm a little fuzzy where Central starts and ends, so here are the RSS feeds for all three types of events:

Gold Card Events East: http://feeds.americanexpress.com/axp/gceeast
Gold Card Events West: http://feeds.americanexpress.com/axp/gcewest
Gold Card Events Central: http://feeds.americanexpress.com/axp/gcecentral

You can also Subscribe to all three Amex GCE Presale Feeds by installing our Free Presale Toolbar.

Step 3: The Passwords... According to Ticketmaster!

In Canada, there is usually not a password for FRONT OF THE LINE TICKETS. Just choose that box and you will be forced to pay with your American Express card. OR the password in certain circumstances is AMEX

In the US, the Amex GCE password is toll-the customer service on the back of a qualifying card. According to Ticketmaster's HELP section:

American Express® Gold Card Events

All eligible Card members have exclusive access to the most sought-after tickets for some of the hottest shows across the country, in some cases before they're available to the general public.

The following American Express Card members are eligible for this benefit:
Domestic and International; Gold Card, Platinum Card® and Centurion® Card; International Dollar Cards, Corporate Platinum Card and the Executive Business Card, Business Gold Card, Business Platinum Card and Business Centurion Card.

Wow, what a list. Now fortunately, Ticketmaster gives you even MORE information that can help you get the Gold Card Events presale password:

To purchase your American Express Gold Card Events tickets online, read the instructions below, then close this page and return to the "Look for Tickets" page:

1. Enter the quantity of tickets desired in the "American Express Gold Card Events" prompt.
2. In the "enter password" prompt, if you are a Domestic Card member, enter the 10-digit Customer Service phone number located on the back of your Card. If you are an International Card member, enter your promotional code.
3. Submit your request. (click "Look for Tickets" button)

Sweet, it's simple, the Amex Presale Password is a phone number! And even better, a Customer Service Phone Number! (Those aren't too hard to find by CALLING customer service for your Green card and ASKING THEM what the numbers are).

Platinum Card Customer Service: Click to view the AMEX presale code for PLATINUM CARDs

What I have found recently is that is seems Platinum cards get access to better seats for some events then do the Gold Cards (Which makes perfect sense ;). This might be coincidence, and for other events they do pull from the same pool, but there they are.

Did I mention you need to get am Amex before any of this will work? Apply Now for a green card and get a decision within a few hours.

So there you have it, the easy step by step of how to find, use and obtain Presale Tickets for Amex GCE events, even if you don't have a Gold Card.
