2026 update: How to get $30 concert tickets to see popular artists in Raleigh this year

The entertainment company Live Nation is selling $30 tickets to concerts in the Triangle this summer. 

Through the $30 Ticket to Summer promotion, music fans across the country can discounted tickets to see dozens of major artists.

This promotion comes after Live Nation ended its popular summer concert lawn pass program, which allowed customers to access several events with a single ticket. 

Ticket sales for the $30 Ticket To Summer promotion begin Wednesday, May 21, and may be purchased at LiveNation.com/TicketToSummer. Rakuten and T-Mobile customers will have early access starting Tuesday, May 20. Look for the “$30 Ticket to Summer” ticket type and add it to your cart. 

The $30 ticket offer is only valid for select tickets to certain shows, while inventory lasts. It includes all fees, and taxes will be added at checkout where applicable.

There is no limit to the number of events you can purchase the $30 tickets for. But each event may limit the number of tickets you can purchase.
