How do I purchase something internationally with a different currency?

Question

I live in the US and I want to buy concert tickets to a concert in Norway. Obviously they have a different currency, so I don't know if I can do this like I normally do. I don't have a credit card, just a MasterCard debit card through my bank. Can I just buy the tickets and the bank/mastercard will transfer the currency, or do I have to do something with an outside provider?.. I don't even know if there is a such thing, I'm just confused and have never done this before. I tried to look it up on the Norwegian ticketmaster site but almost all of it is in norwegian and I couldn't understand. 
Thank you for your help!

i am Norwegian and a bit curious as to which concert you wish to buy ... not many Norwegian artists are know in the USA but yesterday I saw on the TV a gang of American ladies in Oslo, to assist to a concert with Morten Harket, from the group Aha. ... but I digress, sorry.
How do you intend to buy the tickets? Through the internet? Do you usually buy things using a bank card on the internet? If yes, then you can also buy something in Norway, using the same technique. The bill will be automatically converted to US Dollars from Norwegian Kroner. A Dollar is about 6.5 Kroner.
If you send me a direct email to michel@online.no I can help you translate the TicketMaster site and provide other information if you intend to stay in Norway. It's a nice country but perhaps not the right season, right now. Grey and naked before the snow comes!
I came to Norway from Belgium 38 years ago, met a Norwegian girl, felt in love with both the girl and the country and ... here I stayed! ;-)
