I FUCKING HATE THIS SERVICE. Assholes don't let you delete your account and ask you to go to their privacy policy page and read through 500 pages of text to find the instructions on how to delete your account, only for it to say you have to contact them to delete it, and when you contact them they never respond back other than the automated email response. Absolute cancer that always adds on 20 extra dollars to all of your tickets at checkout time when seats are quickly selling out. FUCK THIS MONOPOLY AND FUCK THE CORPORATE DICK SUCKING MANIACS RUNNING IT.

Dont know about where you're from but when someone says concert they usually mean large production in an arena or other large seating capacity venue. Not something that is held at bars. I'd call something I go to at a bar a "show".

A concert is a "live music performance in front of an audience". It's a type of show. A dude with a guitar playing songs in a bar is a concert. Lots of professional artists play in smaller venues like bars in a dedicated room, and that's the best kind of concerts IMO.

Really depends on the genre of music you are into. If you enjoy some obscure shit then somesitmes bar concert is as big as it gets. But you are of course correct for all popular music genres.

Agree. My GF and I go to plenty of "shows".

The handful of bigger venues we attend sell tickets directly. Like Tanglewood or Boston Symphony Hall.
