What Is Ticket To Summer?
Live Nation has unveiled its annual Ticket to Summer program, offering budget-conscious music fans $30 tickets for more than 1,000 concerts this season. The Instagram announcement reads, “Live Nation’s $30 Ticket to Summer is here! 🎉 Get your friends, grab your $30 concert tickets for shows like Nelly, Big Time Rush, Simple Minds and make it a summer of live music. 🎫 LINK IN BIO.” The accompanying image features a colorful graphic listing headliners and dates, setting a festive tone for months of live performances.
Fans eager to take advantage can join the presale starting May 21—no code required—and secure seats to a wide variety of shows. Once the presale window closes, remaining tickets will be released to the general public, ensuring broad access to headline acts at an affordable price point.
Lineup Highlights At Ruoff Music Center
Among the venues participating in Ticket to Summer is Noblesville’s Ruoff Music Center, a 24,790-seat outdoor amphitheater that has hosted top artists since its 1989 debut as Deer Creek Music Center. This summer, attendees can catch hip-hop star Nelly on June 10, pop sensation Big Time Rush on July 15 and Scottish rock legends Simple Minds on August 20—all under the $30 tier.
An earlier Instagram post confirmed the scope of the offering: “Countdown is on! Get $30 concert tickets to 1,000+ shows, on sale May 21. Make it a summer of live music with your $30 Ticket to Summer. LINK IN BIO.” That caption underscores Live Nation’s goal of making major tours accessible to more fans across North America.
Venue Spotlight: Ruoff Music Center
Located just northeast of Indianapolis in Hamilton County, Ruoff Music Center is one of the largest outdoor venues in the U.S. Since Live Nation acquired naming rights in 2011, the center has earned a reputation for bringing diverse acts—from rock and pop to country and hip-hop—to its rolling lawn and pavilion seating. Recent seasons have featured everything from Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival to The Good Vibes Only Tour with Wiz Khalifa and special guest DaBaby.
With its tiered lawn and reserved seating bowl, Ruoff Music Center offers fans both a casual picnic-style experience and stadium-style acoustics. The venue’s calendar typically runs from May through September, making it a perfect setting for a budget-friendly summer of shows.
How To Score Your $30 Seat
Starting May 21, head to the Live Nation mobile app or website and look for “Ticket to Summer.” No presale code is needed—simply select your preferred date and act, then check out at the $30 price point. Availability is limited and seating zones vary by show, so early access during the presale period is encouraged.
Once presale wraps, remaining tickets will open to the general public at the same flat rate. For more details, fans should follow Live Nation’s social channels or visit the link in its Instagram bio.
Whether you’re a longtime concertgoer or planning your first live event, Ticket to Summer at Ruoff Music Center promises a season of big-name performances at wallet-friendly prices. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see your favorite artists in a landmark outdoor amphitheater for just thirty bucks.
