Why Prices Are Dropping — For Now
As the concert date approaches, some sellers begin slashing prices to avoid being stuck with unsold tickets. Experts say the best time to buy may be 24–48 hours before the event, especially for lawn and upper-tier seating.
However, VIP or pit tickets remain expensive, hovering above $200 on most platforms — if available at all.
What to Watch Out For
- Hidden fees: Some sites list low prices but tack on service charges at checkout. Always calculate total cost before buying.
- Fake listings: Stick with verified resellers like StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid for buyer protection.
Why This Show Is So In-Demand
The Killers haven’t performed at CMAC in nearly a decade. With hits like “Mr. Brightside,” “Somebody Told Me,” and “All These Things That I’ve Done” on the setlist — and a passionate Upstate NY fanbase — it’s no surprise demand has surged.
Their 2025 tour is one of the most sought-after rock events of the summer, and CMAC’s scenic outdoor venue only adds to the appeal.
Still Hope for Fans Without Tickets
If you’re in the Canandaigua area, some fans have reported limited on-site box office returns released a few hours before showtime. Others recommend checking resale apps in real time — prices often drop steeply in the final hour.
