LiveNation offers $10 lawn tickets to select shows

If you're finding the recession taking a hit on your concert calendar, LiveNation is here to lend a hand. Bizarre but true!

This Friday, May 15, from 10am to 7pm, LiveNation will offer $10 lawn seats to select concerts at Walnut Creek with no service fees if you purchase tickets at the venue box office. A similar promotion is being held for Charlotte's Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Saturday, May 16. The $10 price is also available online but will include service fees, likely doubling the cost of the ticket.

Included shows at Walnut Creek:
June 8: No Doubt, Paramore and The Sounds
June 23: Bad Company and the Doobie Brothers
July 5: 311, Ziggy Marley & The Expendables
July 7: Aerosmith and ZZ Top
July 24: Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Stone Cherry
August 1: Nickelback, Hinder, Papa Roach and Saving Abel
August 7: Def Leppard, Poison and Cheap Trick
August 23: Crue Fest 2

[UPDATE: We received a question about the box office fees so we thought we'd share with you an image of what the promotion specifically said.]

Do you know for a fact that there will be no service fees at the ticket window? I know that is the way it's been in the past, but I believe last year they started including service fees in box office ticket sales, usually doubling the price of lawn seats.

LiveNation specifically says there will be no fees at the box office on that day. We've had the same experience at the box office where they've charged fees there too. Maybe they're waving them for one day or maybe they've changed their box office policy.

I'll add an image to the bottom of the post with that part of the email we received.
