What a night out costs
Typical entry runs about $42.45, with most tickets between $22.35 and $59.75. Those figures come from the sellers' own price ranges and move with demand — a lot of listings use dynamic pricing, so treat them as a guide and check the ticket page for the live number.
Planning the night
- Start times below are the venue's own local time, not yours — worth checking if you're travelling in.
- Age policy, door times and ID requirements are set by the venue and aren't in our feed. The seller's event page carries them.
- Line-ups change. For multi-act bills, the running order is usually announced close to the date.
- What's on tonight in Boston and this weekend are the fastest ways in if you're deciding now.
