Help me dress as an old going to a concert
Mrs Abehammerb bought Glass Beams tickets up in SF.
I’m a 50 year old white dude. A very large and tall 50+ year old white dude with short hair. I already look like a narc. (I smell like a dispensary). I don’t want to look like a “try hard” too.
Any hints from more junior people? [more inside]
Safest ticket marketplace in the UK?
I am in the US and am traveling to the UK this summer. I am trying to acquire tickets to a sold out concert (Taylor Swift, if it matters) as a surprise for my boyfriend. I am constantly checking Ticketmaster and AXS, the official resellers, but am wondering what other sites are reputable in the UK. Googling brings up a zillion sites and I am wary of getting scammed. Any advice?

Non- Christmas ‘winter’ songs

Have you gone to a Wu Tang & Nas concert this year (or last)?
I'm going to see the Wu Tang Clan & Nas "NY State of Mind" show soon, and my concert buddy is worried that they will go on at midnight, per their experience at hip hop shows in the past. If you have seen them on this tour, about what time did they take the stage and what time did the show end? [more inside]

A question about concert going culture
Would it be odd if I gift a single concert ticket to my girlfriend?
My girlfriend is a big fan of Adele and has previously expressed desire to attend one of her concerts in Vegas. One of my idea of birthday gift for her is to give her just one such ticket. I guess the usual thing to do is to buy two tickets and enjoy the concert together but the problem is that I personally don't enjoy that kind of music at all, and find the noisy concert environment quite stressful.

Best place to sell Cruel World Festival ticket? (Covid took me out)
I have a Cruel World ticket I'm looking to unload (since I won't be able to go due to getting those double bars on my Covid test). Is AXS a good place to sell them and, if so, what cut will they take? Or are there better options? [more inside]
What other stuff should I try to sell concert tickets?

Should I plan a trip around a concert at Red Rocks amphiteater?
I've always had this vague idea that I'd like to see a concert at Red Rocks amphitheater. There's no one currently scheduled that I'm desperate to see but I've been thinking that when they release dates for the next concert season, if there's anyone that I'm really keen on, that I might plan a trip. Should I? [more inside]

Help me find a remembered Mozart "explainer" concert from CBC Radio 2?
Years ago, I heard a concert on CBC Radio 2 wherein a presenter analyzed one of Mozart's works. I would love to be able to find it again. Do you know what I might have heard? Is it available online anywhere? [more inside]
Who were these amazing indie rock / modern dance performers?
Autumn 2012 I saw a remarkable show in NYC that was a blend of live indie rock and choreographed dance, with the 5-6 member group performing both components simultaneously. I think they were touring as a band rather than it being an ongoing production at that theater. I have a nagging suspicion it was part of that year's CMJ Music Marathon, but it was definitely as much a dance performance as it was an indie-rock concert. Help me figure out who they were and, if possible, the title of a specific song. Details: [more inside]

How to buy tickets to Bob Dylan tomorrow?
Tickets go on sale tomorrow on Ticket Master at 10 am. How I can score some good seats? Thanks in advance for your help.
How can I sell or give away these tickets?
I bought tickets to see Nick Cave in Austin, TX this weekend but I didn't realize that the huge music festival happening at the same time would make that unaffordable for me to fly and get a hotel there. I've never resold tickets in general, but the added complication of them being pdf tickets and being located in a different state makes it extra difficult. I have an ad on CL but that feels sketchy. Any resources you would recommend? Is there a local Austin IG account I can contact to do a giveaway?
Lounges at BB&T pavilion in Camden, NJ
I am attending a concert at BB&T pavilion in Camden, NJ this weekend and would like to access one of the lounges. However, it is completely unclear what the difference is between the River Garden Deck, the Live Nation Lounge and the VIP Club - any advice? [more inside]

Working with a venue to book an artist?
I want to book a relatively well known artist to play a venue in NYC. I have no connection to the venue or artist. Would a venue booker be willing to work with someone in this situation? I am willing to pay some of or potentially all of the artist’s booking fee. [more inside]
Looking for SF short story: rockstar with a neural link to audience
I've been trying to find a short story that I would have read in a library book during the 80s. The premise was that rock concerts in the future would involve a neural link between the performer on the stage, and every single member of the audience. The audience would get to feel what it would be like on stage performing for a concert hall of adoring fans, but the link is two-way, and the performer ends up feeling the rush of emotion and excitement of everyone in the audience, all at once.

Secondary Market for Jonathan Richman tickets?

Going to a popular music concert for the first time---what to expect?
I'm going to see Apocalyptica. More specific questions inside, but open to any and all advice. Explain it like I've never been to a concert before, because I haven't been to anything comparable. [more inside]
Cheap, low risk ticket re-seller
We'll be in Chicago in April when Van Morrison is playing. Seeing Van the Man in concert is a bucket-list experience for us, but the resale tickets on the original seller's website have gone up a lot in price and it's making it hard to justify. Seeking your advice about how much additional risk we'd incur with other resellers. [more inside]
Buying tickets to a concert in Portugal
I want to buy tickets to a sold-out concert at Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal. Can you recommend a reputable reseller? I've seen Viagogo, but also see mixed reviews. Also, more generally, do you have any warnings specific to Altice Arena relating to buying tickets from a reseller? For example, I've seen warnings that if your name doesn't match that of the original purchaser, you may be refused entry. I'd be traveling from outside Portugal to see the concert, so appreciate all tips and advice. Thanks
Refund blues
I paid a friend for a ticket to a concert three months ago for a concert that will happen at the end of this month. I learned around Christmas that my job required me to fill in for a conference the same day as the concert. I asked my friend to sell the ticket but I think they may just keep the money. Should I push more on it or is it fair for them to keep the money? [more inside]
Getting over losing a prized posession
I lost something of great sentimental value to me, and I'm quite sure I'm never going to be able to find it. How do I train my brain to understand that's it's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things? [more inside]
Command performance
One of my favorite rockstars "retired" in 2010 and doesn't play publicly anymore, though he is only in his 30s. I was thinking about offering to fly him out to where I live so he can play a show for me and my friends (and maybe anyone with $10?) I would arrange a venue somehow? How much would I pay him? (The guy is folk-punk, and has played for maybe 2k people as a headliner at most.) I have a few grand I could spend to make this happen, and the thought is totally intoxicating. Obviously I have no idea if he'd even be interested, but help me think through this!
Selling pricey will call only tickets
Have you bought or sold true "Will Call only" tickets on Stubhub or Craigslist before, where the buyer and seller actually had to meet at the venue? Which is better? How does this work, especially when large amounts of money are involved (say $500+)? [more inside]
Concert Kerfuffle - shady reseller, accidentally bought to many

Decent hotel near the WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ontario?

How do you get GA Floor tickets to high demand concerts?

The Weekend Starboy Tour - how long do individual concerts last?
The Weekend Starboy Tour - how long do individual concerts last? Typically. Understanding that each show is different, but, you know - in general.
We're anticipating Boston here, so the follow up is, how difficult to get public transport from TD Arena to South Station for a 9:30 PM train on a weekday night. Frankly, I'm not optimistic but, you know - knowledge is power.

Forget the brown M&Ms. How much for a guest singer?
Last Saturday I saw Gorillaz in Chicago. In the encore set they played 'Clint Eastwood' with special guest Del The Funky Homosapien. Collectively, the crowd lost their minds when he came out. How much did Del cost? [more inside]
Motorcycle Parking - Special "Concert Edition"
I'm finally going to see a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. It's a venue I've never been to, AND the first time I'm planning to drive my motorcycle to such an event. Bay Area musicophiles / riders - what's my parking experience going to be like? [more inside]
Doppelganger Group Photography Project
I'm trying to locate a photography project. The artist attended various concerts (metal, country, pop, Madonna, AC/DC etc) and shot full length portraits of the attendees. These were subsequently combined together to create sets of 6 or 8 people. The combining of the images revealed the common tropes of the fans (fashion, hair, t-shirts, gender, age). Unfortunately it seems to defy googling.
Drinks + live music in SF?
What are some great venues/lounges/bars in San Francisco to hang back with a beer or cocktail and listen to some cozy live music? I lean more towards instrumental music and jazz than indie rock or folk. A bit overwhelmed with the selection, so I thought I'd ask here!
Help with a concert poster...
My wife bought me this concert poster for The Mountain Goats. I love them, and have a pretty good grip on their back catalog, but I also know that there's big chunks of it I've never heard. Does this poster reference any single song or album? [more inside]
U2 at Soldier Field...which seats are better?
I got seats to the upcoming U2 show at Soldier field. But I ended up with 4 tix, 2 seated, 2 GA. But GA has a weird code I can't figure out (*GAFL21*). Can you help me figure out which tickets to keep? [more inside]
Attending a Concert: Beanplating Edition
Months and months ago, I bought a front row balcony seat (an excellent seat for this show) to see a favorite musician of mine as a birthday present for myself. The show is this weekend, and yesterday a friend of mine contacted me to ask whether I wanted to go. I told my friend I was already going, and he said if I was going solo I could sell my ticket and sit with him. His seats are not as good as mine. Is it rude to decline? [more inside]
Vintage Gorillaz: Live on My Laptop?
Back in the proverbial day (2006/2007), the TV channel MHD (later called Palladia, LATER called MTV Live) aired a Gorillaz concert called "Demon Days: Live in Harlem". It was filmed at the Apollo on New Year's Eve, I believe. They performed the Demon Days album straight through, with cartoon visuals. Dennis Hopper narrated one song. I would pay strip club-style SWEATY FISTFULS OF CASH to obtain a decent video of this (digital format is ideal, but DVD is also fine). Any ideas?
Birthday gift: BFF edition (bonus points if Adele related)
My best friend's birthday is at the end of this month. We are going to see Adele in concert next month in NYC. I wanted to get her either Adele or concert related gift to begin the excitement. She is early 30's and her interests include all things pink, concerts and Broadway shows, 90's music and boybands, makeup. Dislikes include trying new foods, sports, driving.
How to find a concert as a gift for my parents as a 50th anniversary?

Audience Participation Required
What audio or video recordings are available online of concerts where the lead singer/vocalist stops and the audience takes over to sing the lyrics or chorus of a song without them? Any genre. Kid-safe clips without swearing or explicit lyrics, preferred.
When does Thievery Corporation take the stage?
I'll be seeing Thievery Corporation at the House of Blues in Boston next Wednesday. The show starts at 7:00pm. Has anyone seen them recently? What time do they actually go on stage?
Cool/Interactive/Fun/Artsy Activities for a Professionally-Thrown Party
Have you ever been to an event that had something really fun and cool, that got you to whip out your phone and take a photo, that made you go "wait, this is free?"
An example from a party I've been to recently is having screen printers make t-shirts and tote bags for attendees from designs they chose right there in front of them. More examples inside. [more inside]
Should I take my five year old daughter to a Red Rocks concert?
I have a spare ticket for Belle & Sebastian at Red Rocks tomorrow night. It's assigned seating. My five year old daughter loves music, dancing and what Belle & Sebastian she's listened to. I'm not worried about her being at the concert -- just that it will be a late night. Am I being selfish -- bringing her along because I'd enjoy her enjoying it? [more inside]
Tell me how to go to a concert by myself
So there's a concert I want to go to at a dive-y bar in my big city (for Toronto folks: Lee's Palace). None of my friends like the music that's going to be played, or at least none of my friends here. I want to go anyway. How do I go to a concert by myself? Do I? [more inside]
Nervous plus questions about going to a festival
We have priority tickets to go to the BST (British Summer Time) festival in Hyde Park this June. I really just wanted to see Paul Weller, but can't figure out what time he'll be on (any way to find out?). Also I'm nervous about standing around for hours, about the crowds, etc. Yes, it's a very minor problem in the scheme of things, but I could use some advice on it please. [more inside]
