10 Tampa Area Concerts That Still Have Decent $25 Seats Left

When Live Nation does that $25 tickets deal, it’s not always just for lawn tickets. For some shows, you can score pretty good seats with that $25 all in promotion. But it’s first come first serve, so now that we’re a few days into the special, a lot of the best $25 seats have already been snatched up. There are still some good seats left. You will need to hurry though. The $25 tickets promotion ends Tuesday (May 16) and tickets will go back to their regular price with fees. So step on it!

• Boy George & Culture Club: The Letting It Go Show

  It’ll be a night of a bunch of ’80s Q105 hits not only from Culture Club but Howard Jones (“Things Can Only Get Better”) and Berlin (“Take My Breath Away”). And you won’t be stuck out on the lawn. There are still actual seats left in Sections 11 through 17 at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre for this one for $25.

• Lynyrd Skynyrd & ZZ Top: The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour

  A few $25 seats remain under the roof at Lynyrd Skynyrd at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre for this July 22 show. Section 14 is sold out but there are still some $25 seats in Sections 12, 13, 15 and 16. I saw my first ZZ Top show without Dusty last year at the Hard Rock and the band still sounds great.

• Bret Michaels - Parti Gras Tour 2023

  There are still $25 seats left under the roof for this August 4 show at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre. There are plenty of $25 seats in Sections 11-17. It’s not just Bret Michaels. You’ll see Night Ranger and Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath.

• Counting Crows: Banshee Season Tour with Dashboard Confessional

  A Wednesday night show in August… you’re going to want seats under the roof for those typical Tampa afternoon/evening downpours. There are still $25 seats in Sections 11-17 for this Amp show.

• The Offspring with Simple Plan and Sum 41: Let The Bad Times Roll Tou

  This will probably be your last chance to see one of my favorite bands Sum 41. They just announced they’re calling it a day after this tour with The Offspring.  A few $25 seats for this Amp show remain in Sections 11, 13, 16 and 17.

   

• The Smashing Pumpkins: The World Is A Vampire Tour

  I’ve gotta be honest. I LOVE the Pumpkins but I only saw them live once and they were terrible.  But in their defense, it might have been the arena I saw them at.  Only lawn seats remain for the $25 deal for this show.

   

• 3 Doors Down - Away From The Sun Anniversary Tour

  Only a handful of seats remain for $25 in Sections 12-16 for this show at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in September.

• Outlaw Music Fest: Willie Nelson, Avett Brothers, Gov't Mule & More

  If you’ve never seen Willie Nelson live, here’s a chance to check it off the bucket list.  $25 seats remain in Sections 11-17.

   

• Celebrating David Bowie

  This tribute at The Mahaffey in St. Pete features Celebrating David Bowie feat Peter Murphy, Adrian Belew, Scrote & more. Only a few $25 seats are left in Balcony A.

• Freestyle Explosion Throwback Jam

  OK I’m a little biased on this one since I’ll be hosting!  And sorry, this one’s not part of the $25 deal BUT you’re getting to see about a dozen of your favorite Q105 old school party jam acts in one night for $41.50. That works out to be about $4 to see each act. Stevie B, Taylor Dayne, Rob Base, Shannon, Debbie Deb and more will get ’em dancing in the very air-conditioned Amalie Arena August 5.  The $41.50 seats remain in Sections 202-215.  There are no 300 level seats for this show…so you can’t have a bad view.
