So maybe you think it’s a pain to get to Boston for a show (traffic, parking, ugh). Well, you’re in luck because there are some fabulous venues in the suburbs and the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, is one of the best.

The Verizon Wireless Arena is the home of the Manchester Monarchs hockey team, but also holds tons of shows and concerts (and oftetimes the circus!). With a capacity of about 11,000, you have a solid chance of getting a ticket to your show of choice. And parking’s a whole lot easier than it is in Boston!
