San Francisco Travel Forum

Is there any site that I can check for upcoming concerts? It would be nice if there is one that I can check for october 2009 not just the next week/month so I can order tickets in advance etc

It depends on what sort of concerts you're looking for, but, when I was up there recently and looking for shows, I found this: http://www.thebaybridged.com/local-concert-calendar/
This is for SF and mostly independent music. There's a separate calendar out there for South Bay (San Jose area) shows as well.

You might check the Events Calendar on the SF Chamber of Commerce website. They usually give a clue to concerts going on.

Finding out about these concerts ahead of time may be problematic as they are not usually scheduled so far in advance. However, getting a list of the venues offering concerts may help as they tend to advertize on their websites/offer a newsletter, which would tell you what is expected in the future.

Man you guys are quick ;)

Hey G. leave them alone please :)

thanks so much for the links guys! ticketmaster will help me plan in advance for major gigs but the other ones seem helpful for smaller venues etc

SF (DON'T call it Frisco! They hate that.) is a great walking city. Walk the Haight all the way down to its western end, where it terminates at Golden Gate Park. Those 5 or 6 blocks of Haight St, between Ashbury and Stanyan Park Blvd, have the small clubs, cinemas, and the famous Amoeba record store. There will be plenty of fliers announcing shows.

I was thinking to book a hotel in downtown area, do you think it will be easy to return back by public transport after a concert?
