Guide Review - Goldstar Discount Tickets
Once you sign up for a free membership at www.goldstar.com, you have access to the listings of events with discounted tickets. You can choose to have event listings and alerts emailed to you, or not.
If you're just going to be in LA for a short time, you can sign up to see what's available, then unsubscribe after your trip.
Once you purchase tickets for an event, they are usually available to pick up at "Will Call." For some events, tickets will be mailed to you. The tickets are provided directly by the venue, not by Goldstar.
Except for the potential abundance of email if you choose a lot of categories, I can't see a down side to Goldstar.
