Assuming your email is not already registered, you will then be sent an email to the address you entered where you will be given a link that you need to click on to confirm.

Tickets will become available tomorrow (Tuesday, Jan. 22) at 10AM local venue time and a link will appear next to the date to view/purchase tickets. You'll then be asked about how many tickets you want and where you'd like to sit. The system will then find some tickets for you.
