Live Nation ticket sale: $30 each for 82 San Diego concerts, including Muse, Santana, Kesha
Live Nation, the world's largest promoter of concerts and live events has announced its newly renamed Summer of Live! The annual all-inclusive discounted online ticket sale applies to more than 4,000 concerts nationwide, including more than 80 upcoming shows in San Diego.
The one-week sale will offer San Diego fans the opportunity to save money on shows here at multiple venues by everyone from Rod Stewart, The Roots, Kesha and Ziggy Marley to Guns ‘N Roses, Santana, Muse and Carlsbad-born singer Alex Warren.
The 82 discounted San Diego concerts represent a marked increase over last year, when the sale only applied to 27 concerts here. The $30 all-inclusive per ticket price remains the same as last year. It includes all service fees for each ticket, as well as parking for the concerts at North Island Credit Union Amphitheater. The average U.S. concert ticket price in 2025 was $132.62.
Three indoor San Diego venues that were included in 2024 but not in last year's Live Nation sale - The Magnolia, House of Blues and The Observatory - have been added back this year. Summer of Live! was billed as Ticket To Summer last year after a decade of being billed as Live Nation's National Concert Week All-In.
The 2026 discounted ticket sale begins April 29 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time for the general public and will run until May 5, or as supplies last. The number of online-only tickets available at the reduced rates for each concert is unspecified and limited.
Live Nation All Access members have early access to the $30 ticket offer from today, April 23, through 11:59 p.m. on April 28. The free membership also includes exclusive pre-sale opportunities for other concerts throughout the coming year.
An early access pre-sale for T-Mobile customers will take place Tuesday, April 28, from 10 a.m. local time until 11:59 p.m. local time the same day, at: t-mobiletickets.com.
All of the discounted tickets are available at: LiveNation.com/SummerofLive.
This year's discounted ticket sale comes barely one week after a New York jury found Live Nation and its sister company, Ticketmaster, guilty of operating as a monopoly in the live events and ticketing industry, which both companies have long dominated. Live Nation has vowed to appeal the verdict.
