Here are some ticket specials to consider. There are a few shows at the House of Blues that if you use the Subway code (subway$5tix) on the Ticketmaster website you can get tix for $5 which are in fact really $11.10 after you add in convenience charges, but still a good deal. But while I was at the House of Blues on Tuesday for the Eagles of Death Metal (I have a fun rock n roll story about the show, ask me about it sometime) they were selling $10 tix at their box office for the following shows (BTW not going to edit this list, just sharing all of the shows): Extreme, Nat & Alex Wolf, Collective Soul, Neville Brothers, Mitchell Muso, Stryper, Down, Secondhand Serenade, KMFDM and the Psychedelic Furs/Happy Mondays.
