Previewing Willie Nelson’s Average Setlist on His 2015 Summer Tour

(UPDATE 7/8/15) Tie on your headband and check your local amphitheater’s calendar, because there’s a good chance iconic country rocker Willie Nelson is coming to town this summer. The 82-year-old will join forces with fellow singer-songwriter Alison Krauss over six more shows before teaming up with Old Crow Medicine Show for a run through the end of August. 17 dates in total are scheduled over the next two months, and the average price for Willie Nelson tickets is $139.30 on the secondary market.

Nelson will make his most expensive stop on July 24 at Harrah’s Southern California Casino & Resort. The average price for Willie Nelson California tickets is currently $228.15 and the get-in price starts at $99.79. One other show will average above $200 on the resale market; on July 17, the ageless rocker hits Thunder Valley Casino Amphitheater in Lincoln, Nebraska, where tickets own a secondary average of $217.46 and the get-in price is $87.

Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland welcomes the cheapest date of tour on August 19. That show has a $86.37 ticket average and the cheapest ticket available is $52. Other least expensive shows include July 26 at The Chelsea in Las Vegas ($103.33 avg./$69 get-in), August 23 at Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion ($104.02 avg./$35 get-in) and July 22 at Santa Barbara Bowl ($132.49 avg./$76 get-in).
