Discovering A Historic Concert Hall Austin Texas

By Raymond Bennett


Often called the Music Capitol Of The World, the capitol city of Texas has a lot to offer. One great way to see why this is the case is to attend a show at concert hall Austin Texas. While there are a number of concert halls in the city, each have a unique personality. As such, each offers the opportunity to see different genres of live music and Broadway style shows.

As the city has seen large growth over the last several decades, so too the live music community. While some of this change has been devastating, several long-term residents are now working to bring the once lively live music scene back to life. As such, residents and tourists alike might once again be able to see live music in all areas of the city.

While many of the venues frequented by musicians and poets have been lost to redevelopment, a number of new ones have taken shape. While this is the case, these new venues do not replace the memories that so many made over the years at those which have been lost. Whether local coffee shops, music venues or restaurants, all have been effected in one way or another.

Another problem with the revitalization of the city which many denounced in the early days is the rise in cost of concert, festival and show tickets. In fact, some festivals that once required a can good or $5 donation, now charges $30/ticket with none going to charity. Whereas, most concert tickets start at upwards of $85-100 and show tickets around $30 and up.

Whether due to the new landscape of the city or scalping, most long time Austin residents can not afford the high cost of the venues. As such, it is often those of a much higher income bracket whom are now seen at these events. Whereas, a number of those whose homes were taken due to building code violations are now homeless.

In some cases, fans have been able to find ways to afford these higher priced tickets. Although, as prices rise each year when it comes to concerts, festivals and shows, it gets harder to afford various events with each passing year. While there has been some effort to head off scalpers, it can often be a difficult task.

While Austin City Limits Live, the Continental and the Saxon are popular clubs in the city, most of the large concert halls reside either North, South, East or West of the city along main thoroughfares. As such, while many have sound acoustics, many outdoor venues have to work around noise from airplanes, traffic and other sources.

Ultimately, exploring these venues can often be a fun experience. In some cases, discounts can be found online to various concerts and shows. Whereas, most festivals run anywhere from three to five hundred dollars for a 3 day ticket which often does not include parking. As such, it is important to plan attend when wishing to attend one of these events as many of these ticket prices can increase once public tickets go on sale.
