Is there anything more summery than the recession? Wait, don’t answer that. But hey, America — the corporate moguls at Live Nation feel your economic downturn pain. Today, they announced that June 24 is “No Service Fee Wednesday” (that’s got such a nice ring to it!), meaning you can snag a 4-pack of tickets — already being sold at a 17 percent discount — for up to 40 percent off the original price, if you buy at LiveNation.com.
In the glamorous legalese of the press release, “The service fee free 4-packs are available only at Live Nation ticketed amphitheatres in the U.S. and Canada for concerts including but not limited to…” and then they go on to list a bunch of stuff like Coldplay, Jason Mraz, Blink-182, and Def Leppard with Poison and Cheap Trick. FYI, “Parking, municipal taxes and certain venue fees may still apply.”
Me, I’d opt for the Def Leppard concert, because the way I see it, if I account for inflation since 1987 and figure I’m getting three bands for the price of one, that means Live Nation is basically paying me. They got the peaches, I got the cream, you know what I’m sayin’?
What about you, Mixers? What show will you snag at a discount? (The full “including but not limited to” list is after the jump.) And what tour not included here should maybe think about slashing prices?

Definetly Aerosmith and Nickelback would get my money at discounted tickets. And probably more Blink-182 shows around my area
Yeah, I have no interest in any of these artists or groups. Where’s Rock the Bells? John Legend?
