Want to get away this Memorial Day Weekend? Plan your holiday weekend around some of the spring’s hottest events – TBA & SeatGeek have teamed up to bring you a MDW event guide to help you plan your trip.

Best Deals of the Weekend

Concerts

Summer is undoubtedly the best time to catch a live show – and Memorial Day Weekend might be the perfect opportunity to see your favorite performer before the summer prices spike. Our data shows that concert tickets over MDW are, on average, 15% less expensive than those over the summer season.

Minor League Baseball

While there are great deals to be had at the professional level as well, minor league teams consistently offer fan-friendly promotions around big holiday weekends. Take a look at your local team’s schedule – a deeply discounted ticket or ten-cent hot dog might be available.

Must-See Festivals

Though summer technically doesn’t begin until June 20, festival season is officially upon us. Why plan for one day of the holiday weekend when you can cover all three with one ticket? From coast to coast, some of the hottest festivals of the year take place during MDW. Festivals are also some of the best values when it comes to live music: the price of a ticket is always less than the combined cost of seeing the artists individually.

BottleRock Festival

Napa Valley, CA
BottleRock features three days of music, food, California sunshine, and – of course – beverages from wine country. Stevie Wonder, Florence & The Machine, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers headline.
