ST PAUL, Minn. — It's hard to find ANYTHING you can do for $25 these days, let alone see a major artist in concert at a prominent music venue.
But this week - Between May 8 and 14 - those who are quick to move can score tickets to dozens of Twin Cities-area shows via Live Nation's annual Concert Week event. The national music promoter holds the promotion once a year as a giveback of sorts, and as one would imagine it is extremely popular. On Monday, May 6, two days before $25 tickets go on sale to the general public, Live Nation's website was moving at a crawl, likely from hordes of people scouting shows to buy tickets for.
Well, we're going to save you a step. Below is a list of some Twin Cities-area shows involved in the $25 Concert Week promotion, according to Live Nation.

Here's how it works: When buying tickets at LiveNation.com/ConcertWeek, ticket buyers can select a show and look for the ticket type labeled “Concert Week Promotion,” add the ticket(s) to their cart, and proceed to checkout. Expect online traffic to be heavy, and seats will be limited.
T-Mobile customers will have 24-hour early access to $25 all-in tickets starting Tuesday, May 7, at 10 a.m. Also, Rakuten members can purchase early access tickets and earn Cash Back on May 7 from 10 a.m. ET through 11:59 p.m. ET.
