Sometimes I hear a song on the radio, and I think to myself, dang, I'd like to see this song performed live. Because nothing is quite like live music. It's magical.

And then I mosey over to buy tickets, only to quickly realize I might have to sell a kidney. When did concert tickets get so expensive? By the time you add in fees and parking, you're looking at hundreds, even thousands.

Let's take a look at the concert coming to Colorado and just how much you'll have to shell out to go.

Concerts in 2026

I saw Cole Swindell a few years ago in Greeley, and he puts on a heck of a show. That's why I was excited to hear that Cole Swindell and Blackhawk will be playing at the most amazing place to see a show... like ever. Red Rocks Amphitheater. Wanna go? The good news is that tickets are still available, and the other good news (that's right, two good news-es) is that tickets average around $66.00. Which isn't too shabby.

Riley Green with Randy Houser will be making a stop at Fiddlers Green on September 10th. Wanna go? The show will only set you back about $57.00.

On October 7th, none other than country superstar Ella Langley will be playing Red Rocks with the fabulous Kameron, but tickets are gonna hurt your wallet. Coming in at over $600 (per ticket), you better really, really like Ella because that's my friend's a lot of loot.

This next one I'll be at with my daughter Sophie. We are both die-hard Kacey Musgraves fans and can't wait for her to come to Ball Arena on October 13th. The average ticket cost is around $105.00.

So get out the old credit card and buy the tickets because you deserve to live your best damn life.
