Get a presale reminder for a concert
Swapping calendar entries for a voice note, @alecwilcock reports that Instinct handles concert presale reminders by finding the context itself and sending the ticket link on sale day. This page gives a prompt and checks for setting a presale reminder, and notes what the post leaves out.
What you can get
- Prepare
The concerts you want: artist, city and rough date or tour
- Ask and review
List each concert with the artist, city and rough date, and note which ticketing accounts and fan clubs you already have.
- Check the result
A dated presale reminder per concert with the official ticket link and sale time, not a ticket purchase or a guaranteed seat.
The source case
@alecwilcock lists pre-sale reminders as one of 13 things they did in their first two weeks with Instinct. By their account, they normally put a calendar reminder in for concerts they would like to attend, but found it easier to send Instinct a voice note with little context; they say Instinct finds that context and, on the day, sends the link to where the tickets are sold. The post does not name the concerts, show a reminder message or link, or say whether they bought tickets.

Source excerpt
There's a few concerts that I would love to go to, and usually I put a calendar reminder in, but it's so much easier to just put in the voice note, and you don't even have to give much context because Instinct will find that context, and the day of will send you the link of where you need to buy the ticket.

How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- List each concert with the artist, city and rough date, and note which ticketing accounts and fan clubs you already have.
- Ask for the official presale and general sale dates with sources, and check them against the artist's or venue's own page.
- Sign up for any presale code, fan club or verified-fan registration yourself before the deadline the agent reports.
- Confirm the reminder times in your time zone, including one shortly before the sale opens.
- On sale day, open the link from the message, check that it is the official seller and not a resale site, then buy the tickets yourself.
- After the sale, cancel any reminders left for shows you no longer want.
What the author describes
The report is item 12 in a longer post about @alecwilcock's first two weeks with Instinct, which they say they use through WhatsApp. They write that they would normally add a calendar reminder for a concert, and that a voice note is easier because "you don't even have to give much context".
According to the post, Instinct fills in the details and, on the day, sends the link where the tickets are sold. That is the whole account: no artist, venue, date or screenshot is given, and the post does not say whether a purchase followed.
Presale details worth checking yourself
As general practice, many large tours run several presales before the general sale, such as fan club, card-issuer or venue presales, and some need a code or an advance registration that closes days before. A reminder on the day is too late for those, so ask for registration deadlines as well as sale times.
Sale times are usually listed in the venue's local time zone. If the show is in another country, confirm the conversion. Buy from the link on the artist's or venue's official page, and treat any resale link in a reminder as a reason to stop and check.
Open Instinct to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
- The post does not name any concert, show a reminder message, a ticket link or the sale dates found.
- It does not say whether the author got tickets, or whether any reminder arrived late or pointed to the wrong seller.
- The claim that Instinct finds the context from a short voice note is the author's description; the post shows no example.
- This is an attributed community report, not reproduced by this guide. The suggested workflow and checks are editorial guidance, not a recovered conversation or guaranteed product capability.
Editorial, not from the source
- The reminder link goes to a resale site
- Do not buy from it. Open the artist's or venue's official page and find the primary seller from there.
- The reminder arrives after the presale started
- Check the time zone used for the sale time, and ask for a second reminder before the sale opens.
- No presale date is announced yet
- Ask for a periodic check until the dates are published, and confirm the date against the official page when it appears.
Common questions
Can Instinct remind me when a concert presale opens?
One user reports that Instinct sends the link to buy tickets on the day after a short voice note about the concerts they want. This guide has not reproduced it, and the post shows no example message.
Does the agent buy the tickets?
The post describes reminders and a link, not a purchase. The suggested prompt keeps buying with you unless you approve a specific step.
What if the presale needs a code?
Ask for presale requirements and registration deadlines when you set the reminder, then sign up yourself before they close.
