How To Find The Cheapest Power Up Tour Tickets

Score better seats and save with a few simple strategies:

Target weeknight dates. Weeknights often have lower prices and better seat availability than weekends.
Compare multiple cities. Prices vary by market. Consider nearby stops if your home city is expensive.
Watch for presales. Join artist and venue lists, and credit card presales to unlock earlier, sometimes cheaper, inventory.
Track prices. Some markets drop closer to showtime while others rise. Set alerts and monitor until you see a dip.
Factor in fees. Always compare final checkout totals and consider protections like TicketSmarter’s 100 percent Guarantee for peace of mind. Federal regulators now require sellers to display the total ticket price (including mandatory fees) up front, a change intended to prevent surprise “junk” fees at checkout and help buyers compare final costs across marketplaces: Federal Trade Commission — Bipartisan Rule Banning Junk Ticket and Hotel Fees.
Consider bus travel. Bus fares between cities can be far cheaper than flights or trains, which can make a cheaper nearby date even more attractive.

Price and Availability Tips For Stadium Shows

Stadium tours can see prices climb steadily after the initial drop due to high demand. Booking early or timing last-minute releases can both work, depending on the city.
Get-in price vs. average price: the get-in is the lowest available seat, while averages reflect demand across sections. Premium floor or lower-bowl seats will price higher.
VIP and upgrades: VIP packages may be offered separately and can be added after you secure standard seats.
The secondary market can be affected by seller practices that push prices higher; the FTC has recently sued major platforms and resellers for tactics that can inflate resale costs, underscoring the value of buying through marketplaces with verified guarantees and clear seller practices: FTC sues Live Nation and Ticketmaster for illegal resale tactics.

Travel Planning For Out-of-Town Shows

Pair your tickets with easy trip planning and savings:

Book hotels with exclusive travel deals through TicketSmarter’s HotelPlanner.
Consider multi-city routes if you are following the tour. One-way or multi-city flight searches can unlock better fares.
Some stadiums offer paid tours on non-event days, which can be a fun add-on to your concert trip.

How can I find the cheapest tickets for a major rock band’s North American stadium tour

You can save by targeting weeknight shows, comparing prices across nearby cities, and setting alerts for drops. For AC/DC, start on TicketSmarter’s AC/DC page, then check city pages like Columbus and Madison to compare. Prices can vary widely by market, and weeknights are often cheaper.

When do general public tickets typically go on sale for large arena or stadium rock tours

General on-sales often happen on Fridays, with presales in the days prior. For AC/DC’s 2026 dates, the general public on-sale is November 7. Join fan clubs and credit card presales to improve your chances before that date.

What is the average get-in price versus average ticket price for stadium concerts

How do I compare ticket prices and availability across multiple North American tour dates

Open the main AC/DC tickets page, then click into specific cities like Santa Clara or St. Louis. Compare final checkout totals and seat locations rather than list prices alone.

How can I buy verified tickets and protect my purchase

Use reputable marketplaces with buyer protections. TicketSmarter backs every order with a 100 percent Guarantee so your AC/DC tickets are valid for entry and you are covered if an event is canceled.

Why do ticket prices vary between cities on a long stadium tour

Local demand, venue size, taxes, and travel costs for the tour all influence pricing. Larger, centrally located cities can command higher prices. Some markets rise as show day approaches while others fall, which is why monitoring and timing your purchase can pay off.

How can I find exclusive hotel and travel packages for an out-of-town show

Use TicketSmarter’s HotelPlanner hub to search exclusive travel deals by city and date. Bundling hotels with your concert trip can simplify planning and sometimes save money.

What strategies help reduce costs when purchasing premium seats for multiple dates

Buy early in markets expected to surge, and target weeknight shows for value. Mix in a few nearby cities where premiums are lower. Secure standard tickets first, then look for VIP upgrades that may be released later.
