You can score $30 concert tickets to over 1,000 Live Nation shows this summer
Live Nation is throwing broke concertgoers a bone this summer. Today, the entertainment giant announced that it will offer $30 concert tickets to over 1,000 upcoming shows across the U.S. and Canada as part of its new $30 Ticket to Summer program. (After forking over an arm and a leg for those Cowboy Carter Tour seats, you've earned it.)
Tickets will be available while supplies last at LiveNation.com/TickettoSummer starting Wednesday, May 21, and their $30 pricing includes all service fees before taxes. "Any taxes will be added as applicable by city, state and/or venue," per an FAQ page. Fans can purchase tickets to as many featured shows as they'd like, though each show has a per-person ticket limit.
Ticketmaster's parent company is infamous for its use of an "Official Platinum" dynamic pricing model that raises ticket prices based on real-time demand, but this isn't the first time it's offered heavily discounted tickets to summer shows: Live Nation's long-running Concert Week promotion dropped all-in, pre-tax ticket prices to just $25 in previous years. Mashable has reached out to Live Nation to confirm that $30 Ticket to Summer permanently replaces Concert Week.
