Live Nation is reviving its four-pack summer ticket deal this year, offering four tickets for $80 to a wide variety of shows happening this summer. Here’s the latest.Music lovers can grab four tickets for $80 from July 17 through July 30. There are some caveats, though. You can’t grab four tickets to four different shows, instead the four packs are available as four tickets to a single show for $80. Not every single act is available for the promotion, but the vast majority of summer concerts are. To redeem, add four tickets to the chosen show and add the code ‘24SUMMER’ at checkout. Tickets will reduce to $20 each if they are part of the promotion.

Heading to the official Live Nation summer website will showcase which events are near you and eligible for the promotion. Some eligible events from around my area in Portland, OR include The Beach Boys, Peso Pluma, Megadeth, Santana and Counting Crows, Kings of Leon, 311, Train & REO Speedwagon, The Doobie Brothers, Slipknot, Dan + Shay, Weezer, Judas Priest, and several comedians like Wanda Sykes, Lewis Black, Brian Regan, and Nick Swardson.

Offering cheap tickets in tranches like this also helps Live Nation avoid regulatory pressure since the company can claim ticket prices aren’t exorbitant across the board. Either way, the four-pack of tickets has been a popular promotion for Live Nation in the past, as the company ran the same deal last year to get people headed to live shows again. Despite the promotion, high ticket prices are still a primary complaint for live events online.One example is tickets for Billie Eilish in the UK still have available seats despite going on sale in May. “I’m glad Billie Eilish can’t sell out or even marginally fill any of her three dates at the O2 Arena because the only way we will get cheaper ticket prices is by not buying hugely overpriced tickets,” one fan said on social media. “£234 being the cheapest ticket is ridiculous.”

“Baffled at how a standing ticket for Billie Eilish’s tour next year at the O2 is £250.50 for a standing ticket and that’s at face value,” another says. “Has Taylor Swift distorted their perceptions of what people will pay for a live event?”
