Choosing Between the Best Music Concerts in New York

New York State is a hotspot for great music concerts, and it can be tough narrowing down your choices to find the ultimate gig for you. Here are some points to consider when choosing between music concerts in New York:

Know your music taste and filter concerts according to your favourite genre. If your favourite band isn’t playing, Concerts50 will always recommend a similar artist who is!

Explore your music taste and see what you’re missing out on music-wise. Try out a new genre and see a new artist live, or an up-and-coming band on the verge of national fame. If you’re not sure about a new band, just read the gig reviews here on Concerts50 and listen to their top tracks on our embedded music players.

Consider the venue, its location, accessibility and travel distance. You don’t need to travel across the state to see an awesome show in New York - there’s bound to be one on your doorstep.

Set a budget for how much you’re willing to spend on concert tickets per person.

Keep up to date with venue policies and age restrictions to make sure you can attend the events you have in mind.

How to Get Cheap Concert Tickets

Going to gigs in New York City can get expensive. Here are some tips and tricks to getting cheap concert tickets:

• Follow your favourite artists and venues on social media to get notifs as soon as new dates and tickets go on sale.
• Subscribe to mailing lists from venues and artists so you can get first dibs on pre-sale tickets and other special discounts.
• Sign up for radio station giveaways and other raffles for a chance to win free tickets.
• Compare prices across multiple trusted platforms, and make note of differing service charges and added costs.
• Buy box office tickets directly from the venue to avoid added online fees.

What to Bring to a Music Concert

All you need to bring to a music concert is your tickets. But here are some other things to consider:

1. Noise-reducing earplugs
2. Food and drink for queuing (be aware most venues have a ‘no external food or drinks’ policy, so leave your reusable water bottle at home)
3. Small sized bag (venue security guards may refuse entry to ticketholders with large bags)
4. Phone / camera
5. Shoes that allow you to stand comfortably for hours at a time
6. Cash / card for the venue’s bar (check if your venue is card-only)
7. Pack light and keep your valuables concealed away from pickpockets
