Live Nation, the concert behemoth that owns House of Blues, is offering a crazy-good offer on club shows. For a mere $49.99 — no extra fees attached — the Live Nation Club Passport is good for admission to more than two dozen House of Blues shows between now and the end of the year.
A press release outlining the details describes the bargain as “our newest program aimed to ease recession pains for Clevelanders who love to attend live concerts.”
Of course, there are some potential catches. Warns a disclaimer: “The Live Nation Club Passport is good for one person only and does not guarantee entry.” If the show’s sold out, the pass is no good. But, to be fair, the venue has sold out only three shows in advance this season: Alice in Chains, David Cook and Porcupine Tree.

The shows listed on the Club Passport page for HOB Cleveland are a disappointingly small subset of the list above, leaving it less tempting except for those with really eclectic tastes. I can’t see too many people going to Down AND KMFDM AND Common AND GWAR AND Skinny Puppy, but maybe that tiny segment is all that LiveNation wants to sell to. I was hoping for Blackmore’s Night + Mars Volta + Type O Negative (who I think just announced a show for October 20th). Maybe more of those will be added nearer to the show date.
Yeah, your list and the club’s list don’t match.
