I like center stage rows 3-10. 1 and 2 you have to look up all the time to see over the stage, unless everyones gonna stand the whole time it doesnt really matter.since those are very hard to get at a good price I try to get 1st row balcony down the side of the venue.

The easiest way would be to go to a show at a club in a city close to yours, and meet them after at the merch tables...bands usually hang out at the merch tables after shows.

Next time your in a concert, if its a medium or small venue, stay when it ends until everyone leaves. You might get a chance, its how my friend met them.\n\nOr you can show up really early. Sometimes they let fans meet the band three hours before the concert starts, but only on like a first come first serve basis or if you have a new CD or something - there's always a catch.\n\nJoin their official fan club and listings and sign up for email notifications. There's got to be something out there for them.

Depends on what you want to do. There are plenty of theatres, dance clubs, and bars. Usually Block E in downtown has lots of fun stuff to do. IM me. I'm in Minneapolis right now.

You can see the stage with no problem. Bring the 'Nocs tho cause everybody looks like ants. I usually get seats in the 1st 2-3 rows but love goin up to the"nosebleed" seats to see how things sound too. Maybe I'll see you there. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Best shows for the least amount of money are Mac King at Harrah's, Clint Holmes at Harrah's, Lance Burton at Monte Carlo, Rita Rudner at NYNY, and Second City at The Flamingo.  You should also be sure to check out any of the numerous half-price, same day ticket outlets that are in town.  You will never find tickets for Celine Dion or the Cirque shows but you can get 2 for 1 same day tickets at some of the "B" grade shows.  Tickets2Nite is one of the better services, located at the Showcase Mall next door to the MGM Grand.

I can recommend Mama Mia. Light, with plenty of music, as you can imagine. I went last year with my wife and we both had a top night.

Check if your band has a fanclub you can buy your tickets through. Ticketmaster is safe in terms of not getting your credit card stolen, but sometimes will lose your tickets, as well as charging you absolutely insane service fees for everything imaginable. You even have to pay to use your own damn printer to print out your own tickets instead of letting them send it to you a day before the concert which doesn't get there on time all too often. As a last resort you can use Ticketmaster though. Almost anywhere is 'safe' to buy tickets from anymore as long as it's a company and not a ticket scalper site. Just check the site out and their reputation, the internet's pretty safe to buy things off of anymore.

I usually go to either Kingdom in Burlington or the Underground in Hamilton (both Ontario, Canada).  Kingdom is usually more hard rock, but Underground is pure metal.  A lot of local bands play there and some medium-large bands stop there on the way through town.  It's a great crowd and great music.  Steep cover though.
