Ready to rock? Pack your wallet. A recent study by Austin-based travel company Upgraded Points, spotlighted on KXAN, revealed the steep costs that come with catching a live concert in some of the country's largest cities. New Yorkers might feel the sting most, with a whopping average price tag of $1,793 for a two-night concert vacation. Other big spenders, like those venturing to San Francisco and Los Angeles, round out the top three, with costs at $1,692 and $1,516, respectively.

But it's not just the ticket prices that'll have you seeing dollar signs – as any seasoned traveler knows, the devil's in the details. And so, flying into JFK Airport averages out at a hefty $441.34, while a stay at an Airbnb will set you back another $430.70 on average for two sleepless nights fueled by the rhythm of your favorite band, according to a statement obtained by Upgraded Points.

It's not all bad news though—looking to score a live-music high on a low budget? Cities like Lexington and Cleveland are coming through as the MVPs (Most Valuable Pricings). As reported by Upgraded Points, these cities land at the bottom of the list, with Lexington hitting the sweet spot at just over $1,000 for a weekend trip. Bar-hoppers in Cleveland get a break too, with beers at venues costing a mere $11.74 a pair.

Moving down South, Memphis makes its mark as a more reasonable choice for music lovers. Home to the likes of Elvis Presley, this Tennessee city offers soulful vibes without the empty wallets, positioning concert-goers to pay as little as $1,123 for the full shebang of a memorable musical weekend, as pointed out by KXAN. A trip to see your favorite artist, when factoring in flights, accommodations, and Ubers, can jack up the total cost faster than a rockstar smashes guitars – and that's before counting the price for a round of drinks at the show and the unavoidable tour merch.

For the music junkies gearing up for the summer's mega tours and considering jumping on the "gig trip" wagon, you'd do well to browse the comprehensive data study on Upgraded Points. It might just save you from a post-concert financial blues session, as you figure out how to navigate the bold prices of concert tourism without going broke.
