Choosing the Right Concert for You

If you’re having trouble deciding between all the NJ concerts taking place, here are some tips to narrow down your list:

Consider the venue’s location, travelling distance, parking and hotel availablity, etc. There’s bound to be amazing concerts near you which don’t involve you travelling halfway across the state and spending a fortune in the process.

Get your calendar and pin down all the dates you definitely can and can’t make.

Know your music taste and filter music concerts by genre. If your favourite bands aren’t playing, Concerts50 will always recommend a similar artist that is!

Explore artist line ups and check out the setlists and support bands before booking your tickets.

Check reviews of the venue beforehand to make sure it’s the best fit for you. The venue might impose age restrictions, may not be disability-accessible, etc.

Find out the best time to visit the venue, and if there are any concurrent exhibitions at the same venue which might spark your interest.
