Hey there, fellow explorers! So, I just had the unfortunate experience of finding out that the catacombs tickets for April 19/20 are totally sold out. I mean, come on! Talk about a bummer. I had my finger ready to click ‘purchase’ the moment they went live, but alas—no luck.

For those of you in the same boat, don’t lose hope just yet! Here are a few suggestions that might help you get those elusive tickets.

1. Check for Resales

Ticketmaster website homepage featuring a promotional banner for "Les Miserables (Touring)." It shows the iconic image of a young girl with a flag, set against a blue and red background. The tone is dramatic and theatrical. Options to search events and locations are visible at the top.

Sometimes, people have to cancel their plans or change dates. Websites like Viator and Ticketmaster often have resale options where tickets might pop up last minute. It’s worth keeping an eye on them!

2. Social Media Ask

Don’t underestimate the power of social media. Post a plea on platforms like Twitter or Facebook. You might be surprised at how willing others are to help out! There’s always someone out there who may have an extra ticket or know someone who does. Plus, you might make a new friend with similar interests!

3. Explore Alternative Dates

If your heart is set on the catacombs but your dates are flexible, try looking for tickets on surrounding days. Sometimes, attending just a day earlier or later can still lead to an amazing experience without missing out on that creepy, cool vibe.

4. Join a Tour Group

If you can’t get tickets directly, consider joining a guided tour that includes entrance to the catacombs. These tours sometimes have access that regular ticket buyers don’t and can offer a unique experience!

5. Keep Checking Back

Sometimes, venues release additional tickets closer to the date. Just because they’re sold out now doesn’t mean they won’t have more available later. Set a reminder to check back frequently!

In the meantime, if anyone has any other tips or leads, please share! We can help each other out and make sure our collective curiosity for the catacombs isn’t left unquenched. Happy hunting, everyone! 🕵️‍♂️💀
