So the other day my kid starts blasting Blink-182 nonstop, right? Suddenly hits me – I haven’t seen those dudes live since like 2004. Grabbed my coffee, still half-asleep, and plopped down at the desk. Opened up the laptop thinking “alright let’s find San Diego dates”.
First stop was Ticketmaster. God that site’s a maze. Typed in “Blink 182 tour” and got every possible concert except Blink. Pop-ups everywhere, suggested shows for bands I don’t even know. Took me three scrolls to find the actual search results. Saw a date but no venue – useless.
Switched to Google. Simple search: “Blink 182 San Diego 2024 concerts”. Boom! First link actually had Tour Dates in the headline. Opened it fast before another ad could pop up.
Here’s the whole scoop:
- Date: June 22, 2024
- Venue: Petco Park (outdoor show!)
- Opener: Pierce the Veil (kid’s gonna flip)
- Secondary opener: Alexisonfire
Wrote that all down in my notes app immediately. Last tour they skipped San Diego entirely so this felt like winning the lottery.
Why bother hunting this down like it’s state secrets? Couple reasons. First, last time I tried buying concert tickets at release? Total scam. Site crashed five times, wound up paying double on resale. Secondly? That opener info matters. Last concert I took my kid to had some heavy metal screamo band opening for a pop act – she buried her head in her hoodie for 45 minutes straight. Now with Pierce the Veil? She’ll actually watch the whole dang show.
Final step? Marked June 22 in big red letters on the kitchen calendar. Alarm set for ticket sale day. Not falling for that “Oops sold out” nonsense again. Might camp out on Ticketmaster the night before. Seriously.
