Check out The Phoenix each week for complete listings of evening entertainment. Buy tickets for big concerts and nightclub bands at Out of Town News, Strawberry Records, Ticketron or the box offices. If it's concert tickets you want, make sure you go early, because the high-school kids always seem to eat them up quickly and scalp them at a huge profit to saps who didn't wait...
