How to Choose the Right Concert for You

California’s live music scene is welcoming a melting pot of artists to its stages this year. From classic rock legends to modern masterminds of classical music; from ground-breaking metal bands to cutting-edge pop stars, the Golden State has it all — leaving you to pick the cream of the crop when choosing between the top California concerts.

With so many gigs across the state, it could seem difficult finding the perfect concert for you. Here are some tips which might help you on your search for the ultimate experience:

1. Know your music taste and search for the genres you like. If your favourite band isn’t touring, perhaps a similar artist is. You can check out reviews of live shows online if you’re thinking of seeing a new artist, or experiencing a different genre, live for the first time.
2. Set a budget for how much you’re willing to spend on concert tickets per person, and filter concerts in your area accordingly.
3. Find out which dates you’re free and filter your concert search results to weed out any events you definitely can’t make.
4. Make sure your preferred ticket type is in stock. Seating or standing? It’s up to you — seating provides comfort while standing lets you jump right into the heart of the experience. Whatever you choose, make sure the venue can accommodate you.
5. Stay updated with new concert announcements by following your favourite artists and venues, so you can get first dibs when tickets go on sale.
6. Check age restrictions. If you’re under 18, double check the events you’ve got your eye on don’t impose age restrictions. Every venue differs — check out their websites to see the rules.

Tips on Finding Concert Tickets Cheaper

There are multiple tricks to getting concert tickets cheaper. Here are a few of your best bets:

• Follow artists and venues; sign up to their email lists to receive info about presale offers and other discounted tickets.
• Compare prices across multiple trusted platforms.
• Enter radio station giveaways.
• Buy your tickets directly from the box office to avoid processing fees.
• Be aware of standard pricing, premium pricing and dynamic pricing. The price of concert tickets may change over time.
• Choose seating tickets over standing tickets. Seating is often much cheaper.

Preparing for the Event

What to Bring

All you need to bring to a concert are your tickets. Drinks are usually available at the venue’s bar (check your local venue beforehand). It’s always best to grab food before reaching the venue, unless you don’t mind extortionate food costs, and assuming the venue has food stalls at all.

Venue Policies

Different venues enforce different policies. Always check your local venue beforehand for specifics.

Some common venue policies include:

- Small bags only.

- No outside food or drinks; no re-usable bottles.

- Cash-free payments only.

- No laptops or tablets inside the venue.

- No filming (varies per event)

- No re-entry to events.

- No smoking (check if your venue has a designated smoking area, which doesn’t interfere with the no re-entry rule)
