I was thinking of creating an anonymous ticketmaster account using public wifi since they block VPNs and just have them email me updates, but they required a phone number for the sign up so I scrapped that idea.
Edit: I decided to sign up for songkick as someone else here mentioned. It seems pretty polished and its entire purpose is concert discovery. It never asked for any unnecessary extra information either such as first and last name and phone number, just an email and a password and boom.
Actually it’s super easy.
Step 1: be poor
Step 2: come to terms that you don’t have, and likely will never have, enough disposable no income to afford 50 dollar tickets to a concert
Bonus optional step 3: be poor enough that you’ll be unlikely to live in a city where musicians will come, even if you found some money. Then you definitely won’t have gas money to drive there and see them. :)
It’s fool proof.
Even better, the tickets are nowhere near $50 most of the time anymore
I remember buying concert tickets for me and my gf for under $20. For both.
Fuck Ticketmaster.
Depends on the artist and venue. I very rarely pay 50€ or more. 20-35 is my usual price range.
Being poor is sad. The are always cheap or free local performances, they’re pretty cool. Also, I come from !fuckcars to tell you to get a bike.
Free perhaps, not really local. I love an hour from the nearest city. Lol.
I do have a bike… but it’s more reserved for riding up and down my own road for weight loss purposes. My county is rural, and does not have side walks or bike lanes, and the nearest store to me 15 miles. I am not capable of making of that ride, even if it were safe to do so.
But in principle, I fully agree. Fuck cars, fuck car culture, and fuck the governments for not doing more to make bikes a feasible option.
