if you have any large civic center or convention center just look up their online site and see what they have coming up, thats how i found out about my concert. They usually have a schedule of whats happening and you can go from there.

Going to the actual venue itself ahead of time is gonna be the cheapest, ticketmaster will shaft you with "convenience" charges, service charges, facility charges. All this bullshit.

If you go to the place where the concert is at, you'll save yourself 10-11 bucks.

thanks

That is not really the way i would go about going to a concert. Don't go to a venue just to say you have been to a concert.

Think about the bands that you would LIKE to see, check their tour schedule and see if they are coming to your area.

screw going to a concert. go to a show at a club where you can get jiggy wit some hoes. not sit in a seat...

A7X concert for the win. I went back in November and they played the best set I've ever seen. Buckcherry sucked though, but I never liked them in the first place. Saving Abel was playing on the tour when I went, but we got there late and missed them. Never seen papa roach, and I don't know if Shinedown is still on the tour. They were pretty good though.

Will be going to see the Music is a Weapon tour next month with Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, Chimaira and a couple other smaller bands

ticketmaster has tickets to pretty much everything BUT expect to pay an extra minimum of $20+ for bull shiot fees. Livestock 15 FTW //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Check your local radio station rock channel you listen to. That is what I did and got discounted tickets for an upcoming concert in March.

Going to see Shinedown with Saliva and some no name band I never heard of. Should be kick arse!

Good thing not everyone thinks like you.

I guess the good 10, 000 people on the floor at the Cleveland State Korn concert I was at a good few years ago was uber boring when there were plenty of chicks bumping into you wanting to get down.

Korn pwns hip hop............

I am believing you have never been to a concert.

the venue will have the best face value price.

But you could always low ball craigslist or scalp some at the show and go for free..

atleast thats what i do..

Go to the venue the day off the show and get scalped. There are always ppl who had friends back out and have extra tickets. Also there real scalpers who will sell sometimes at below cost just to get rid of them. Depends on the show. If they are not sold out, get them at the box office the day of the show as well.
