The concert industry has been impervious to the recession and high ticket prices over the years. But with the economic news getting worse by the day, artists and concert promoters are trying to make sure fans come out to the stadiums, arenas and concert halls this year by offering ticket deals and other incentives. Bands such as No Doubt and Coldplay are offering free music with the purchase of a ticket to their live events. Concert promoter Live Nation is offering a $10 Tuesday promotion for some shows and is expanding its four-pack plan, where fans can buy four tickets for the price of three.
