Plan your weekend in Pittsburgh

Find concerts, sports, comedy and theatre in Pittsburgh for October 16 – October 18. Listings use the venue’s local date and are ordered by start time. Choose an event to review available tickets on CatchMovement, then continue with your selected seller. Prices and availability may change before checkout.

Planning Your Pittsburgh Weekend

Pittsburgh weekend nights typically see the city's biggest concerts and games — arenas, theatres, and amphitheatres book most of their highest-attendance dates Friday through Sunday. Tickets for marquee weekend shows often sell out the primary market within hours of on-sale, but verified resale floors regularly drop in the final 24–72 hours before doors as sellers move inventory before it loses value. If you're locking in plans this week, the right move is checking the grid below tonight or tomorrow, picking 2–3 candidate shows, and watching prices into Friday morning for the best entry. Weeknight pivots also work — Tuesday and Wednesday equivalents at the same venue routinely price 30–50% under the same tour's Saturday show.

Pittsburgh Weekend Venues

The city's anchor venues — PPG Paints Arena chief among them — book most weekend arena tours, with mid-size theatre and club rooms running additional weekend bills. The grid above pulls events across every covered Pittsburgh venue, so a Friday-night arena show, a Saturday MLS match, and a Sunday matinee comedy taping all surface in one feed.

Where can I find cheap tickets for Pittsburgh this weekend?▼
Three reliable patterns for cheap Pittsburgh weekend tickets: (1) Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Verified Resale tends to drop below face value in the final 24–72 hours before doors for non-rivalry/non-marquee shows; (2) upper-bowl and obstructed-view sections on arena tours regularly clear under $50 on Saturday and Sunday matinées; (3) opener slots, smaller club rooms (1,500–4,000 capacity), and Sunday-night theatricals usually undercut Friday-night equivalents in the same city by 30–40%. Check /cheap-concert-tickets for the cheapest cross-city inventory.
What time do Pittsburgh weekend concerts and games start?▼
Most Pittsburgh weekend concerts have doors 90 minutes before the listed show time (so doors at 6:30 PM for a 7:30 PM ticket). Arena and stadium tours usually run longer — plan 3–4 hours from doors to final encore. NBA and NHL games run about 2.5 hours; MLB closer to 3 hours; NFL games closer to 3.5 hours. Each event card above carries the official start time from the Ticketmaster feed, and the Ticketmaster app pushes the real door time on the day of show.
Are weekend tickets safe to buy through this page?▼
Open an event on CatchMovement to review the available seller options. Confirm the selected seller’s delivery, refund and buyer-protection terms at checkout; they vary by provider and listing. Keep your order confirmation and use the seller’s support channel for order questions.
Is this page only concerts, or does it include sports and other events?▼
All categories — concerts, sports, comedy, theatre, family, and festivals. The grid above is the catch-all weekend feed for Pittsburgh. Use /concerts for live music or /sports for league and team pages.
