Live Nation’s $30 Ticket Deal Is Back—Here’s How to Score Big Shows for Cheap

Concert season just got a whole lot more affordable.

Live Nation is officially kicking off its annual “Summer of Live” promotion, offering fans the chance to grab $30 tickets to more than 4,000 shows across the U.S. and Canada. If you’ve been holding off on buying concert tickets because of sky-high prices, this might be your moment.

When Do Tickets Go on Sale?

The general sale starts April 29 at 10 a.m. (local time), and the best part? No presale code is required. Just log on and grab what you can—because inventory is limited and tends to go fast.

Want a head start? There are a couple of early access options:

• Live Nation’s All Access members (it’s free) can shop early through April 28
• T-Mobile customers also get early access on April 28 from 10 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.

Who’s Performing?

This year’s lineup is stacked across pretty much every genre. Some of the biggest names include:

• Kesha
• Kid Cudi
• Paul Simon
• Iron Maiden
• Kali Uchis
• Luke Bryan

And that’s just scratching the surface. You’ll also find performances from Guns N’ Roses, Zayn, 5 Seconds of Summer, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Pitbull, and Charlie Puth.

Comedy fans aren’t left out either, with shows from John Mulaney and Weird Al Yankovic included in the deal.

What Does $30 Actually Get You?

The $30 price includes all service fees upfront (before tax), which is a rare win in today’s ticketing world. According to Live Nation, the deal covers a variety of seat types and venues, so while you might not always land front row, there are plenty of solid options available.

Special Tours to Watch

This year’s promo also lines up with some major moments in music:

• The Pussycat Dolls are back with a reunion tour (now performing as a trio)
• Wu-Tang Clan will hit the road for their “Final Chamber” farewell tour starting in August

How Long Does the Deal Last?

The promotion runs through May 5, but don’t wait—tickets are limited, and popular shows will disappear quickly.

Why This Deal Matters

Live Nation has been running this promotion for over a decade, giving fans a break from ever-increasing ticket prices. While the price has ticked up slightly (last year’s deal was $25), it’s still one of the best ways to catch major artists without blowing your budget.
