not any deals, but decent article on tips

https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/i-ve-been-to-over-200-concerts-and-music-festivals-tickets-aren-t-cheap-but-i-ve-learned-lots-of-ways-to-save-money/ar-AA1p3IK7


This line was truly depressing and it seems like live music is only for JA at this point
However, tickets aren't cheap and have been steadily increasing in price. In fact, according to Pollstar, the average cost of a concert ticket to one of the top 100 tours worldwide in 2024 is over $127 — a 9.4% increase from 2023.



I see about 40 show a year, thankfully I'm not spending $5k just on tickets.  Although when you add in merch/beers...getting close to that

The best way not to overspend on concerts is to not buy alcohol or merch. These are the budget killers.

Unfortunately I love drinking at shows. Probably shows are an excuse I have used for decades - subconsciously- to drink. Like many people I prefer to see it as “partying”.

These days I go to far fewer shows a year than I used to….15 absolutely tops… and I almost never buy merch unless am trying to help out a band I love like Luna or GBV.

Trying to think what shows I have seen this year….GBV, Hives, Black Crowes, Belle and Sebastian, Ride/Charlatans, Feelies…I guess I bought merch…Charlatans and Ride shirts, GBV lp, Feelies lp. I have backed out of a few shows like Jane’s/L and R. It was just insane to think I could drive to Portsmouth

Oh I saw Neville Street Groove and Cake too. And my friends band OBL

I got my eye on Lemonheads, YLT, Massive Attack, Robyn Hitchcock and Nick Lowe…. I have a ticket for Air and Suki.

That would be 16 shows which like I said tends to be my max these days. I wish I could do more.


Marcos Valle at Howard is also appealing

GBV lp,
I think there is a Bare singed version at casa hutch I need to pick up


You also work at a music venue and probably catch another 20 or so concerts a year, I know it's not the same, but it's better than being outside

And a Mike Watt signed 45 sleeve…the 45 has disappeared!

True…but yeah it’s not at all the same…Sometimes something breaks through…Justice was my favorite
