How to Pick the Right Music Concert for You

Missouri’s live music scene is anticipating a host of A-list stars alongside its local heroes and niche, up-and-coming bands. From urban rap icons to radio pop legends, this Midwestern state is no stranger to putting on a stand-out show. So if you’re looking for a list of upcoming concerts in Missouri which you just can’t miss, you’ve come to the right place!

With so many stellar gigs coming up in one state, it might seem hard to narrow down your choices and find the ultimate concert for you. Here’s a quick list of things to consider when picking your next event:

Explore artist line ups. Sometimes the support act is shockingly better than the headlining artist. Check out the supporting artists to make sure you’re in for a night you know you’ll love.

Consider the venue choice and choose gigs based on location, accessibility, parking and so on. You can always check out venue reviews here at Concerts50.

Set a budget for how much you’re willing to spend on tickets, per person. There are shows to accommodate every budget, so there’s no reason not to be adventurous!

Check your diary dates and filter concerts accordingly so you can remove any gigs which you definitely can’t make.

Make sure the event you’re planning to attend doesn’t impose age restrictions. Each concert and venue will vary.

Tips on Finding Concert Tickets Cheaper

Concerts can be pricey, but there are countless tricks you can use to get cheap tickets to concerts near you. Here are some quick tips:

1. Subscribe to mailing lists from venues and artists to receive presale offers and other discounted tickets.
2. Follow venues and artists on social media for instant notifications on new shows, and potential discount codes.
3. Compare prices across multiple trusted platforms, and be aware of varying service charges.
4. Consider getting last-minute tickets for a fraction of the cost, presuming they haven’t sold out.
5. Keep up to date with dynamic pricing where applicable to grab tickets for cheap.
6. Try buying your venue’s box office tickets to avoid any extra processing fees you’d face when booking tickets online.
7. Some venues will offer student discounts or group discounts.

Preparing for Music Concerts in Missouri:

All you really need for a concert are your tickets, and preferably some noise-reducing earplugs.

Most venues will have a bar inside for refreshments, but it’s usually cheaper to grab food before entering the venue. Outside food and drinks are generally not allowed inside, so leave your refillable bottle at home, unless the venue’s website states otherwise.

Venues will likely enforce a ‘small bag only’ policy and refuse entry to those with bags large enough to pose a security threat. It’s always best to travel light and take the bare essentials in a bag smaller than a standard sheet of paper. Check with your venue beforehand whether they offer guests a cloakroom for their belongings — older and posher venues might just have your back.

Some additional tips for concert prep include:

• Make a mental note of fire exit locations when entering the venue, just in case.
• Be cautious of outfits which could get tangled with others in a dense, moving crowd.
• Don’t keep your phone in the back pocket of your jeans, unless you don’t mind it getting swiped.
• Check if your venue accepts cash or card-only payments. If possible, it’s always best to leave your card at home and bring cash to cover the night, as a precaution against pickpockets.
