This guide is built from the live listings in our index — 150 upcoming events across 19 venues in Calgary. It rebuilds automatically as new dates go on sale, so the venues, genres and prices below reflect what is actually bookable rather than a snapshot from a year ago.

What a night out costs
Typical entry runs about C$35.90, with most tickets between C$13.10 and C$53.04. We also list 3 free events. 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 Calgary and this weekend are the fastest ways in if you're deciding now.
