Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation are offering a promotion through the end of July that lets users purchase four tickets for $80 to select shows. The offer is good for thousands of shows — but not all of them, and is limited by geographic area. And you need a code to unlock the deal, according to an FAQ page. The 4-for-$80 deal was offered last year too, and has been available before that. But it comes against the backdrop of a slowdown in the live events space this summer as consumers show increasing signs of spending fatigue. According to data shared with NBC News last month by TicketIQ, the "get-in" price of a ticket to major live festivals including Coachella and Bonnaroo were both down year over year. And some major acts, including Jennifer Lopez and The Black Keys, had either revised their summer tour plans or were canceling them outright. However, the slowdown is not universal, as stars including the Eagles, Creed and Olivia Rodrigo continue to sell out and/or add dates this year. The list of participating events for the 4-for-$80 deal can be found at LiveNation.com/SummersLive. Once an event is selected, choose “4 Tickets,” then look for the “Summer 4 Pack Offer” ticket type, and click “Unlock.” Users then must input a code received via email to unlock the offer and add to cart. This process will automatically add one 4-pack of tickets to the cart. Proceed to checkout, where the price will automatically show up as $80 ($20 per ticket), and complete the purchase.
