Money Tips

Maybe you’re still paying off your Taylor Swift tickets or had to take out a second mortgage to get Beyonce tickets and are hoping to spend a little less money on your next concert. Live Nation's "Ticket to Summer" sale (formerly called Concert Week) is coming May 21, offering select concerts for $30 nationwide.

Shows include Willie Nelson, Simple Plan, The Black Keys, Weird Al Yankovic, James Taylor, Goo Goo Dolls, Luke Bryan, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Idol, Keith Urban, and more. See the full list of shows and details.

Here's everything you need to know about how Live Nation's $30 Ticket to Summer sale works and what you can expect for the $30 ticket deal this year (yes, that's up from $25 last year ... inflation, sigh).

Live Nation has had a sale on cheap summer tickets every year since 2014 (minus 2020), and the dates for the event have varied each year. If you’re looking to fill up your schedule with cheap concerts, grab a friend and get booking.

Live Nation Concert Week is an annual event that offers cheap concert tickets to some of the biggest names in music.

The $30 Ticket to Summer event is similar to Concert Week. While the ticket price has changed from $25 to $30, concertgoers can still grab discounted concert tickets ($30) to see some of the biggest names in music. This year marks the 12th anniversary of Live Nation doing a cheap summer tickets promo.

The $30 Ticket to Summer sale starts May 21, 2025 and runs while supplies last.

Ticket to Summer is a little bit later than Concert Week was last year (Concert Week ran May 8 - 14 in 2024). During the sale, music fans have a rare window where they can buy tickets to certain shows across North America for just $30 apiece.

The sale starts 10 a.m. ET. All you have to do is visit the $30 Ticket to Summer site during the promotion to see the full list of participating events and get your tickets to a valid show. Look for the "$30 Ticket to Summer" ticket type, add the tickets to your cart, and check out.

And these are “all-in” tickets, which means the $30 ticket price includes all fees and taxes — no surprise convenience fees or service charges.

KCL TIP: If you’re not sure how to find shows, Live Nation lets you search by event, venue, or artist. You can also set the location to the closest city, and the site will only include shows nearby.

T-Mobile customers and Rakuten members get early access to the $30 concerts.

If you can’t wait until Live Nation opens the $30 ticket sales to the public or otherwise want to make sure your preferred concert isn’t sold out, you can get to the front of the line if you’re a T-Mobile customer or Rakuten member.

The presale starts at 10 a.m. ET on May 20, the day before the public ticket sale starts. All you need to do is verify your T-Mobile customer status to receive one Offer Passcode per eligible subscriber, max four tickets per Offer Passcode/event.

You can also get in on the presale through the shopping platform Rakuten. Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive a presale access code — available within the “My Account” page on Rakuten — that you can use to purchase tickets during the same timeframe (10 a.m. - 11:59 p.m. ET).

Hilton Honors members can use points to pay for all or part of select Concert Week tickets.

If you’re a member of the free hotel loyalty program Hilton Honors, you can connect your Hilton Honors and Ticketmaster accounts (yeah, Ticketmaster is the same company as Live Nation) and use your points to pay for part or all of your ticket purchase.

Hilton Honors members earn points via a number of activities, from staying at hotels to booking Lyft rides to using the Hilton credit card. Now the number of Hilton Honors Points needed to purchase a concert ticket varies based on the show and the availability of tickets — but according to Hilton Honors’ website, the redemption rate for two tickets starts at 25,000 Hilton Honors Points.

If Hilton’s average cost per night is about $250 and Hilton Honors members earn 10 Base Points per $1 spent, you’d need to spend $2,500 at Hilton hotels to earn 25,000 points. So that means you'd need to stay for about 10 nights to earn 25,000 points. (However, this can vary based on promotions, elite status, and other factors that can earn you Bonus Points.)

Some of the summer's top concerts are part of Live Nation Concert Week.

While massive names from all of the different genres are part of this Concert Week promotion, indie bands and small-venue shows are part of it too. So you can choose to see your favorite artists in an intimate setting or experience the whole arena-rock vibe if that’s your thing.

Here's a list of some of the more well-known bands and tours included in the most recent Live Nation’s Concert Week:
