I’d love to be able to subscribe to RSS or iCalendars for concerts in my area by artists I like… someone has got to be offering this, right?

Upcoming.org is the closest I know of. It does require that someone enter the events.
Ticketmaster offers e-mail notifications. Stupidly, I’ve heard that it fails if multiple groups are performing (“X, Y, and Z”).
Hmmmmmm …
Right on, Alex. What about notifying you of concerts you might like using bands you already noted as your favourite, sort of like what Pandora does but for concerts.
you could probably just scrape the data off of the ticketmaster site and then mash it into an RSS feed, some MySQL in-between and you have a nice service. I only really ever go to concerts by 2 artists (Springsteen and Buffett) and I will get screaming phone calls from people long before it shows up on ticketmaster so this isnt’ really useful to me. Before you say it, i highly doubt ticketmaster will notice/care. Yes, i also think that this will not work properly with multi-artist concerts due to the way that ticketmaster’s database is setup (very stupidly, parking passes for a concert show up as a seperate concert) there is no actual way to say that there are multiple artists in 1 show, they just create a new artist called “Artist 1, artist 2, artist 3″ like how, “Bruce Springsteen” shows up seperately from “Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band” with no connection in-between.
