Support local music / venues whenever possible instead of LN/TM bands and venues.
We live in Newmarket where the Stone Church Music Club has been rocking on top Zion Hill for 50+ years. I'd rather spend $20 to see a show there and literally be standing 5 feet from the performer vs spending $200+ for seats in the nosebleeds at a stadium. Those bands at the Stone Church could use the money more than Springsteen.
I do make an occasional exception for certain artists. I spent $600 for 4 tickets to Guns and Roses at Fenway this summer. That's only because our kids are huge hard rock fans and I want them to see one of the best hard rock bands to ever do it while they're still touring. Wonder what I paid the last time I saw them in highschool 30 years ago! Haha
