How do people buy concert tickets any more?!

So apparently I have no idea how to buy concert tickets any more. And it’s not just big concerts - the absolute crap seats at smaller venues for niche bands are ridiculously expensive too. In the 1990s, I was able to snag front row tickets to Weird Al multiple times for somewhere around $25 per ticket by either calling into the ticket seller right at 10a when the tickets went on sale, or going to Sound Warehouse and buying the tickets as soon as they went on sale from the cashier there. The last time I tried to buy tickets to Weird Al (October of last year), I logged in to the ticket sales site about five minutes before the tickets were to go on sale. As soon as the ticket sales went live, entire sections were simply unavailable and the closest tickets were in the side section of the closest tier, row 15. And the tickets were VIP package only, $350 apiece. I skipped the purchase. Which brings us to 2026. Because I thought it would be an amazing experience, I jumped into line for BTS tickets when they went on sale here in Dallas. There were literally 300K “people” ahead of me before the site showed that the tickets were sold out. This week I was looking to see if there were any reasonable seats for a different KPop band whose ticket sales just went live. I checked the options at 7:00 PM on the first day of the sale. The only seats available were the very farthest sections in the back sides of the theater (the 300,s in the pic attached to this post)!and the ticket costs were $96 each. I looked into a few resale sites tonight (4 days later) and tickets for the same sections on those sites were over $150 each. This is at an 8,000 seat indoor-outdoor amphitheater, not a huge stadium show like BTS. So how do people safely buy concert tickets these days exactly? I have no idea which resellers are trustworthy - Stubhub? Seatgeek? Or private sellers? Or something else? There’s no way I’d want floor tickets with no chairs for the close up experience these days, but I would still like the option to buy tickets with a good view and the option to sit for at least some of the concert.
