Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn’t use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

    I know it’s a relatively niche genre but I almost exclusively go to folk punk shows. They’re usually $15-20 or “meh, pay what you can just have fun”

        Pigeon Pit, Left at London, Sister Wife Sex Strike, She/Her/Hers, Apes of the State. You may notice a theme with those ones… There’s also classics like AJJ, Jeffery Lewis, Pat the Bunny, and Against Me. Of the ones I listed Pigeon Pit, Sister Wife, and Apes are my favorites which is pretty convenient because all three of them are playing in a concert tonight near me for like $20
