We’re not just watching the detectives.
Our team is also keeping an eye on Elvis Costello ticket prices and after a bit of detective work of our own, we found shockingly cheap tickets to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee live.
At the time of publication, we spotted tickets for just $6 before fees on Vivid Seats to see the “Pump It Up” singer perform at Syracuse, NY’s Landmark Theatre on July 8.
While those prices are certainly outliers — tickets typically start in the $30 to $40 range for his concerts — we do know a good deal when we spot one.
Shockingly, you can catch him in Boston for similarly low prices.
Tickets for Costello’s July 6 gig at MGM Music Hall are $13 before fees.
And if you don’t want to travel upstate to see the two-time Grammy winner live, you can catch Costello at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Wednesday, July 12 and Thursday, July 13.
Want to hear “Alison,” “What’s So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding,” “She,” “Radio Radio,” “I Want You” and the rest of Costello’s inimitable catalog of power pop and punk for reasonable prices (and in some cases, less than $1 per song)?
Keep on reading.
We’ve got all you need to know and them some for you below.
