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.
