Music, Sweet Music

(MONEY Magazine) – Summer concerts are a blast, but waiting in line to score tickets--and shelling out megabucks--isn't. So Clear Channel Entertainment, which sells 70% of all summer concert tickets in the U.S. and owns 40 amphitheaters in cities including Virginia Beach and Chicago, has simplified the process with its getAccess program (www.getaccess.cc.com). A $60 annual membership fee buys four vouchers for free lawn admission--and free lawn-chair rentals--for select concerts (like Carlos Santana at Columbus, Ohio's Germain Amphitheater). You also get dibs on presale and reserve tickets (for shows deemed sold out), plus two-for-one offers to certain shows. Check the website for more summer deals near you. And rock on. --MEGAN JOHNSTON
