Man, my concert calendar is finally starting to look busy again and I couldn't be more excited. I've got a couple of smaller indie club shows lined up for next month, and then a massive outdoor festival in the fall that I've been waiting for all year. There's honestly nothing quite like that feeling of having a physical ticket or a QR code ready on your phone, just counting down the days until the doors open. What about everyone else? Anyone hitting up any major tours this summer? Lately, I’ve been trying to find better ways to track smaller, local gigs without getting hit by those massive, hidden corporate service fees at checkout. A friend actually recommended checking out StarTickets recently, and it's been a pretty solid alternative for finding event tickets. It’s definitely nice to have a straightforward platform that doesn't make the buying process a total headache. Hopefully, I'll be adding a few more dates to my schedule soon!
