Depends how close you were.
Last concert I went to, I was /right/ next to the speakers.
Without ear plugs and all that, nothing.
I know, not the brightest idea.
But anyway, after that concert I had ringing in my ears for a good week.
Slowly, it started getting quiet.
But after a week it was gone completely.
So if you were right next to the speakers, or just close to them it shouldn't be anything to worry about.
If you were not close at all, then maybe get that checked out.

How close to the speakers were you? It's normal after most rock concerts to have ringing in your ears for an hour or two afterward. It's because of how high they crank the sound over 3 decibels etc. It wears off quite fast.
However, if this has been going on for three days and obviously longer than 12-16 hours see a doctor as your hearing sounds like it was adversely affected. It's not normal after that length of time so says every article I looked up. Are you going deaf? I doubt it but its obvious the noise had a really bad effect.
When it comes to concerts and sitting close use ear plugs and I'd say use them no matter where you sit. It blocks out a lot of noise and you'll still hear the band no problem but without any hearing loss or ringing. Definitely, if it's still ringing in your ears right now see a doctor about it and sue the band ;) Kidding on that last bit.
