Hop aboard because Goldstar’s Comp Train promotion is back and happening today, Thursday, May 29th!

Comp Train is a one-day only promotion offering complimentary tickets to events across the country, including live theatre, dance, comedy, opera and more. This is the perfect way to get out and try something new.

Personally, I’ve picked up lots of deals each time Goldstar runs this and have never been disappointed.  You’re going to pay a handling fee no matter what, so why not save 100% on the ticket price?

Pick any of the events at the Chicago House of Blues and there’s a good chance Goldstar will have either comp or cheap tickets for it! Not in Chicago? There’s a link to events in your area, too!

Called “the Charles Dickens of our time,” author Terry Pratchett has long enchanted readers with his funny and fantastic novels, especially those included in his 40-volume Discworld series. Now theater-goers will get to experience Pratchett’s wild and witty imagination live on stage with Monstrous Regiment, a new adaptation of his 2003 novel. Borogravia is once more at war. When Polly Perks’ brother goes missing in action, she cuts off her hair and enlists, hoping to find him. Passing successfully as a young man, she soon discovers that she’s not alone in protecting a secret and that nothing in the improbable conflict is as it seems. Kevin Theis directs this wickedly clever look at the absurdities of war and ambiguities of identity, in a world premiere adaptation by Chris Hainsworth.

Get comp and discounts tickets through Goldstar – discount tickets are available through July 19th – but there are only a few comp performance tickets still available.

Get $30 tickets on Goldstar for Million Dollar Quartet with dates through mid-July. On December 4, 1956, a twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley to Memphis’ Sun Records. The rock ‘n’ roll musical Million Dollar Quartetwas inspired by this famed recording session — the first and only collaboration among these legendary icons, each of whom had such a major influence on American music. This thrilling production brings audiences inside the recording studio with the four major talents who came together as a red-hot band for one unforgettable night, and features such enduring hits as “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Great Balls of Fire” and “Hound Dog.”  A hit on Broadway, Million Dollar Quartet was nominated for 2010 Tony and Drama Desk Awards.

Goldstar has comp and discount tickets to the May 31st performance of Figure Skating’s Let’s Dance.  With special guests that include 2014 Olympic team bronze medalist Jason Brown, 2011 national champion Ryan Bradley, National Ice Dance medalists Lynn Kriengkrairut and Logan Giulietti-Schmitt and more, American Ice Theatre presents Let’s Dance! — a celebration of figure skating’s artistic revolution. Fun for the whole family, this event takes viewers on a journey through classical, cultural and contemporary ice dancing. In addition to the show’s many guest stars, Let’s Dance! also features the American Ice Theatre ensemble — as well as finalists from the Young Artists Showcase, an online international figure skating choreography competition. So, if your life has had a big icy void in it since the conclusion of the Sochi Olympics, you now know exactly where you need to be this summer.

Tickets for the 4th of July weekend are only $15 plus service fee – usual price is $23.95 (plus fee).  Can’t believe they’d offer deals over this weekend, frankly.  Eat, drink and be merry whilst roaming among the jousting knights, regal ladies, saucy wenches and royal overseers of the famed Bristol Renaissance Faire, returning for its 27th season of fun and games just outside of Chicago. Hundreds of performers dressed in Elizabethan costumes create a magical world of music and excitement, with games, rides and 20 stages of entertainment options ranging from knife throwers to improv troupes. More than 150 artisans will also be exhibiting and selling their original hand-crafted items, including hand-blown glass creations, pottery, authentic clothing and weaponry. All the frolicking and cavorting can leave one in need of refreshment, though fear not — there are dozens of food and drink options available for purchase, both alcoholic and non, including the signature giant turkey leg and the ice-cold sassafras.

You’ve planned one big vacation, but what about the rest of the summer? Goldstar has pulled together some of their must-do, blockbuster events of the summer season to help fill your calendar with great live entertainment experiences – for less!  Have fun and maybe even explore your own city.  A staycation tourist!
