does anyone know of any websites that will notify you of concerts in your area? I can't seem to find one.

I don't know about notification, but pollstar.com usually has a pretty extensive list of artists coming to your town.

Funny that no one uses myspace anymore though. It seems to have officially switched to facebook. And this is the most accurate/quickest way of finding out. I am sure that there are a number of bands that you follow (updates/videos/etc.). Just wait for tour updates.

Ticketmaster does for the shows they're connected to. I like to get on the mailing list of bands im into, that way I don't miss a show. Can't wait for Gaslight Anthem in TO!

yup. Buy tickets from local record stores or the box office. It will end up being a lot cheaper. After the slap on taxes, shipping, and "convenience fees" or some shit, you end up paying at least $10 more.

I think there's an app for iphones that you just need to tell it your location.

haha. noooooo. And a scalpel is a surgical tool. They are called scalpers. Please don't support ticketmaster, and go support your local record store!

I can't believe that. When I bought tickets for a $20 Protest the Hero show it ended up costing me around $27.
