Normally I wouldn't post a press release (http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9NzM2NHxDaGlsZElEPS0 xfFR5cGU9Mw==&t=1) from LiveNation, but there's some good bands included, and maybe this can save some of you some money.

I've taken the liberty of bolding some bands talked about here recently.

LOS ANGELES, CA June 1, 2009 – Today, Live Nation announced that it’s dropping service fees on more than five million lawn tickets and hundreds of concerts, helping add value and save money for fans throughout North America. The 24 hour event makes June 3rd the biggest one day sale in concert business history. Now that’s something for fans to sing about!

“No Service Fee Wednesdays,” kick off June 3 at 12:01 a.m., offering fans some of the lowest prices of the summer with no ticket service fees on any LiveNation.com-ticketed amphitheater show, and only at www.LiveNation.com.

Throughout the rest of the summer, Live Nation becomes Free-Nation, as it offers a variety of “No Service Fee Wednesdays” specials at www.LiveNation.com, making Wednesday the biggest day of the week for savings on concert tickets for hundreds of shows and millions of fans.
“Summer concerts are a great escape in these tough times,” said Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation. “Starting this Wednesday, Live Nation and the world’s top artists are making it less expensive for fans to see their favorite bands by waiving service fees on over five million tickets at www.LiveNation.com. We wanted to do something that had never been done before and “No Service Fee Wednesdays” provide incredible value to millions of music fans to attend the hottest concerts this summer.”

Tickets for “No Service Fee Wednesdays” go on sale at 12:01 a.m. local time on June 3, 2009 at www.LiveNation.com. This promotion is not valid in combination with other special pricing offers and is subject to availability.

don't most of their tickets for new shows go on sale on a weekend day? If so, I'm not sure how great of a deal this is....

I also think lowering base ticket prices in this economy wouldn't be a bad idea....

True. This won't help for that hot show where you want to be online and purchasing at 10:00:01 am on the on-sale day, and I'm sure LiveNation didn't pick Fri or Sat for that very reason. But for the show that isn't a sellout, where you're not rushed to buy right away (and especially for shows with GA sections like amphitheater lawns), then it's a nice promo.

agreed. And I hope they continue it.

It will be every Wed. on selected shows. So far, I haven't found a show I'm interested in. They've only chosen one venue here in L.A. - Gibson Amphitheater - they are putting on their usual mediocre season this year.
