We go to free local ones. But, on occasion, a family member will win a couple of tickets to a concert at the casino (frequently goes there on bus trips, so the points add up) and will offer up free tickets to us every so often for big name groups. Otherwise, it's just too expensive.
We mostly only go to free concerts. The in addition to the cost of tickets, the fees are outrageous! Lots of festivals in our area have free concerts to attend, or sometimes just a cost of getting into the festival. I can live without spending a fortune on live concerts...
Interesting: I've started to buy organic milk, because it seems to taste better AND outlast it's regular milk counterparts: the sell-by dates on the organic milk products tend to be further into the future than their regular counterparts. I've noticed that half-and-half/cream products also tend to last longer than regular milk. Is this just me?
YES. So much agreement here. I really love working from home, but I do have to bite my tongue a little bit whenever someone tells me how awesome that must be -- they always get the reasons why it's great wrong.
And I'm so sorry to hear about the bike accident -- both because of the accident and the socialization. Last week I was working on a big project that had me leaving the apartment and seeing people a lot, and it's been tough going back to a normal week when I don't necessarily have a reason to leave my apartment every day.
Yum! I've been making a lot of salad dressings in canning jars recently; I love that you can just add the ingredients, shake, and leave it in the fridge. My go-to if I can't think of anything else is Dijon or horseradish mustard, honey, vinegar, crushed garlic, and olive oil.
It's one of my favorite things! My husband & I are going to see Roger Waters do The Wall in a couple of weeks. Because ticket prices are so high, we're pretty selective and only go to shows that we really, really want to see. We're also seeing Eddie Vedder in December.
I don't go to too many concerts anymore because a) I've seen most of my favorite bands perform live (some multiple times), b) a lot of bands don't always stop in my state on their tours, c) I don't have as much disposable income for concerts as I did when I was younger, and d) since getting older I don't enjoy the crowded, loud atmosphere as much as I used to.
I do go to concerts, but not nearly as much as when I was in my early 20's (I'm 29 now). Now, I probably go to 5 or 6 a year. It's difficult to save money on tickets because of Ticketmaster's unbelievable fees. Those are the only factor I find really unfair. I'm happy to pay 75 bucks to see Bruce Springsteen, but why should I have to give Ticketmaster another 10 bucks just for e-mailing me a link where I can use my own paper and ink to print my ticket. The only way I know of to save myself from paying that fee is to go to a box office at the venue to purchase my ticket. I do that whenever I can, but Ticketmaster has gotten crafty to the point where they often make it part of their agreement with the artist on tour that tickets can only be purchased through Ticketmaster. At that point, I have to reevaluate if I want to see the band bad enough to give them that convenience charge, especially since I'm not given the option to inconvenience myself for the sake of 20 bucks.
They only concert we've gone to was for Third Day. They gave an amazing show & testimony. We also went to the free show @ Fair in Marietta, Ga sponsored by 104.7thefish a local Christain music station.

I love to go to concerts, but I don't like to shell out for them, so usually I go to free concerts in the park!

We go to a concert once and year and splurge on good seats!
I love going to concerts, but we don't go very often.

When I was younger I went to a lot of concerts but after getting married and having kids I don't like to pay the prices.

Aww thanks. The upside was the my boredom led to a very productive week work-wise.

I haven't been to a real concert since I've lived on my own. I have been to free ones though!
