Grab tickets to these 5 shows before they sell out
From Gary Numan to Matt Bellassai.
Few things are more frustrating to a music fan than hearing that a favorite act is coming to town, only to find out that the show is sold out. We’re here to help you avoid that pitfall — and the overpriced secondary ticket market — by consulting local experts Shawn Robidoux of The Wilbur, Christine Varriale of Bowery Presents, and Bridget Gillis of Live Nation. Below, check out a handful of live shows and comedy acts we’ve heard are dangerously low on tickets.
Jim Breuer
We can only hope the comedian performs his impression of AC/DC doing the Hokey Pokey on Friday. Robidoux said that if you hope to see Breuer, pick up your tickets before the show. (Friday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m.; The Wilbur; $35; tickets available here)
A Savage
A Savage is Andrew Savage of indie favorite Parquet Courts. He’s touring in support of his solo debut album and, given the size of the room he’s playing and the popularity of his primary band, tickets won’t last long, according to Varriale. (Sunday, Dec. 3 at 9:30 p.m.; Great Scott; $10; tickets available here)
Gary Numan
The new wave legend is best know for his 1979 hit “Cars,” but don’t mistake him for a nostalgia act. Numan has continued to make compelling electronic music, and Gillis predicted that his loyal fans will sell this show out. (Monday, Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.; Paradise; with Me Not You; tickets available here)
Bouncing Souls
Varriale said tickets are moving quickly for this three-pronged rock attack, headlined by the New Jersey pogo-punks. (Thursday, Dec. 7 at 8 p.m.; The Sinclair; $30; with T.S.O.L., Rebuilder; tickets available here)
Matt Bellassai
The People’s Choice Award winner and BuzzFeed alum is bringing his ‘Everything Is Awful’ tour to Boston. The early show has already sold out; grab tickets to the late show before it does, too. (Sunday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m.; The Wilbur; $42; tickets available here)
