Want more bang for your buck on Memorial Day? Stay home.

A new report released this week ranks the District as one of the top cities where folks can get the most bang for their buck in entertainment this Memorial Day weekend. D.C. ranked second in a list of 10 major cities where concert-goers, sports fans and the like can get the most value for their dollar, according to the ScoreBig.com report.

The report, which ranks D.C. just behind Los Angeles, notes that this weekend people can go see Drake on May 25, or watch the Washington Nationals against the Atlanta Braves on June 2. And, of course, ScoreBig.com conveniently notes that anyone who wants to get tickets to said events can do so via their website, which sells discount entertainment tickets.

Beach, schmeech, right?

To compile the report, ScoreBig looked at all major cities across the U.S during April to determine which ones offered the greatest overall entertainment value for live events like sports, concerts and theatrical shows. Each city was reviewed and ranked for three main factors: value, demand and variety.

Here are the rankings:
