2024 top concerts coming to NJ that make the best Christmas gift
We’re less than two weeks away from Christmas so it’s gift shopping crunch time. Whether it’s a last-minute gift or you’re looking for the perfect present to give to your loved one that is so hard to shop for, one of the best gifts you can give is tickets to a concert.
Everyone loves music, right? It doesn’t matter the genre, there’s always a concert for everyone.
2023 will be hard to beat. Just this year, some of the biggest tours came through New Jersey:
Bruce Springsteen
Taylor Swift
Motley Crue
Ed Sheeran
Beyonce
Guns N’ Roses
Metallica
Now there are a few things to think about before spending the money on concert tickets as a gift because let’s be real, it’s not cheap.
Do you like the band/artist?
You never want to spend that kind of money on tickets if your loved one isn’t a fan of the artist. For example, I’m a big boy band fan, but don’t buy me tickets to see *NSYNC, I’m a Backstreet Boys girl!
Is the venue local?
The last thing you want to do is give tickets to a show where you’re loved one will have to travel far or even have to stay overnight.
Are the seats desirable?
I’m not saying to spend hundreds of dollars on floor seats, but no one wants to be gifted nosebleed seats.
Some of the biggest shows have already been announced for 2024 and it might top what we experienced in 2023. Tickets are still available for these shows so get them just in time for Christmas.
