Back in the 1920s, a delightful mistake gave birth to one of the most entertaining shows in history. According to folklore, an exhibition game between two local Chicago basketball teams was scheduled to take place in the Savoy Ballroom. The only problem was that the local Vaudevillian team Globes & Trotter was scheduled there as well. So with a double booking to deal with (as well as thousands of anxious spectators), a quick compromise was reached: Let the comedy troupe join in on one of the teams. Though they hadn't the skill of their teammates or opponents, the audience fell in love with their outlandish antics (including the use of a ladder to slam dunk the ball). Despite being kicked out of the game on account of 13 collective technical fouls (including use of oil slicks, confetti, and dangerously long hook shots), they were invited to play with the team again the following night...and the night after...and the night after. Soon the team was no longer the Harlem Sting but the Harlem Globetrotters, and history was made. Since their inception in 1926, the Harlem Globetrotters have entertained over 118 countries in thousands of matches, and they are still going strong. Take a look at our Harlem Globetrotters tickets and experience this incredibly entertaining show today!

For more than 30 years, Bonnie Raitt has been one of the biggest names in the Blues singing world. With her great "bottle-neck" guitar style and unique style of singing, she is able to impress both blues connoiseurs and regular concert goers. Her website describes her as "an American institution" which sounds about right. Almost anyone will recognize her singing and many of her songs have become a major part of the sound of American blues in the last quarter century. And it's no wonder: her dad was a famous actor in Broadway musicals and her mom a well-known pianist/accompanist. The music she heard inspired her to create great music of her own. She is, in fact, a 9-time Grammy Award winner and still tours extensively. Earlier this year, she appeared on the radio program A Prairie Home Companion, where she sang "No Getting Over You" and "There Ain't Nothin' in Ramblin'." She hasn’t released a studio album since 2005, called Souls Alike that is considered to be a great album, as was her more recent compilation Bonnie Raitt and Friends. Next year, though, she will be touring in several American cities. She will probably be appearing near you. Take a look at the schedule and then buy your Bonnie Raitt tickets today!

After Week 12 was said and done, the Philadelphia Eagles stood at as even of a record as possible: 5-5-1 (The 1 of course being a tie). While this is not necessarily a bad record, it was certainly an abysmal record to have in the highly competitive NFC East, where the Giants already had 10-plus victories, Dallas with 8, and the Redskins with 7. But as time crept on, the Eagles silently won in the background while Dallas and Washington imploded. However, even at the end of last week when the Eagles improved their record to 8-6-1, they were still well behind in the wild card hunt. But, in a Sunday full of crucial matchups with heavy playoff implications, everything, absolutely everything went right for the Philadelphia Eagles. They need Tampa Bay to lose, they lost. They needed Chicago to lose, they lost. They need Dallas to lose, they (Philadelphia) pounded them (Dallas) 44-6. That tie game which looked so ominous over a month ago became the saving grace for the Eagles. Their 9-6-1 record beat out all of the other 9-7 teams, and stood as a strong testament to the will and determination of McNabb and the rest of the Eagles. They now have at least one more game to play for, and with the slates wiped clean, Philly has just as much a chance to win it all as any one else. Perhaps more so, considering the hot streak they're on. Follow them into the postseason with our great 2009 Philadelphia Eagles playoff tickets!

Over 30 years of time have passed since U2 first came onto the music scene. They first formed in 1978 as a bunch of teenagers playing rock music, but they weren’t considered a great band until the mid-80s. With Bono and Co., this is still a top act in the world. U2 is in the process of producing a new album, which is supposed to be released in March, but that hasn’t been officially announced yet. From the background accounts coming out of the recording studio, this may be one of their best albums yet, with the band making some great musical leaps over their previous efforts. About a month ago, they released a new single album, called "I Believe in Father Christmas". This song isn’t original to them, but they covered a new version. As you can imagine, with a new album coming out soon, there will probably be a tour. Nothing has been announced for sure, but everyone’s hoping they get back out on the road. Don’t you want to see them too? See our U2 tickets and Vivid Seats will keep you posted on the latest developments.

We've played 15, there is one game to go!  It's time to get serious about this. The NFL season is coming to an end. But now we have to take a look at who might be the real winners this year. There are several playoff spots still to be decided. And everything will be decided tomorrow and the next day (although some tiebreakers could happen in the first playoff week. Some of the best teams this year are Tennessee and the New York Giants. Tennessee is a bit of a surprise, but they went a long time this year with no losses at all. New York has played great so far, and has remained consistently strong. Arizona also claimed their division pretty early, but they're having trouble the last few weeks. The AFC East is still tied, though it's only a two-way tie rather than the three-way tie we had at the beginning of last weekend. It seems to be a battle between the Patriots and the Dolphins. The New York Jets could still get in there but it's a long-shot. The NFC North will also be decided tomorrow. One of these teams will go to the Super Bowl. If your team goes to the Super Bowl, you'll want to be there. If your team doesn't make it to the Super Bowl, you should still go out to Tampa and see a great game! Get your Super Bowl tickets today and you'll get to check it out!

As the year draws towards its end, it's natural to look both backward and forward. On one hand, you can fondly reminisce about the memories of last year, last month, or even last week. On the other hand, you can look optimistically towards the new year, with high hopes of change, fortune, or what have you. However, it's important not to lose the present...which is especially true for many plays and musicals. It wasn't the best year for the stage business and a lot is going to change during the course of the next year. New shows will be replacing the failing (or even just older) shows. Therefore, while you still have the holidays off to be with your family, this is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your loved ones enjoying a show fit for any age. Shows like the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and A Christmas Carol are seasonal plays that would make a perfect outing for anyone. However, if you have another show in mind, take a look at our great selection of family tickets and find seats to any major stage production.

Now that it’s finally Christmas, Santa’s got no more presents on the mind...just 2 weeks of anticipation for the BCS National Championship game between the number 1 Oklahoma Sooners and the number 2 Florida Gators. The Christmas Santa we all know changes after his big day is done. Back goes his red sleigh into the garage and out comes his ’92 silver V50 Volvo with "Halen Rocks!" decal on the back windshield. Back go the reindeers into their musky crates and out comes Santa’s Natty Ice. No more red suit, just a pair of old Lehigh South High School gym sweatpants and "Bun in the Oven," mustard-stained gray t-shirt. This is Santa’s time now. Time to deepen that groove on his recliner chair and get Cheetoh dust in his big white beard. Santa, however, has no team to pull for in the big bowl game. He just likes the intense action and strong play of the best the nation has to offer. If you, on the other hand, need to show your support for either team or you simply don’t want to experience the biggest game of the year from a living room, check out the great deals we have on BCS Championship tickets.

Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote South Pacific in the late 1940’s and it remains one of the favorite musicals of all time. It opened in 1949 at the Majestic Theater on Broadway. Since then, it has been remade in many ways. It has been adapted for film and has been revived several times for both Broadway and for various other tours. And who wouldn’t like it? Songs like “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Younger Than Springtime”, and “Bali Hai” have become some of the most popular songs in musical theater. The story takes place in World War Two and it’s about American sailors who fall in love with local women while stationed there. It is really an enjoyable show and it’s no surprise that it’s been revived again. Right now, South Pacific is playing in New York City, at the Lincoln Center. Order your South Pacific New York musical tickets and "some enchanted evening", you will see a great musical!

As a former (and youngest) member of the late 90s rap group Hot Boys, Lil Wayne has emerged to become the hottest of them all. Since going solo with his debut album "Tha Block Is Hot," Lil Wayne has been a runaway superstar in the rap world. And that was at the age of 17. Flash forward to now: He's six albums deep into his discography, his stardom has risen over and over again, and his level of bling is simply staggering... and he's only 26. But it's not only his level of success that is so impressive; it's also the fact that his lyrics and rapping style are profoundly advancing with each new release. Since the release of his "Tha Carter" series in 2004, Lil Wayne has created his niche in the rap world and established his own personal style. Some, after reaching a level of success like this, would be content to stop. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, is insatiable with his desire to put out quality record after quality record. However, he loves the stage time as much as the studio time. He's still out on the road, touring to promote his latest album "Tha Carter III." Take a look at our Lil Wayne tour dates and find your tickets today!

The Pittsburgh Steelers have clinched their playoff spot and they are the second best team in the AFC this season so far. Even though they lost to the best team in the conference yesterday, they are still on track to have a great season. With one game left, against the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field, they are set to end at 12-4 or 11-5 at worst. The Tennessee Titans, with two losses, are the only team ahead of them. Until this weekend, Pittsburgh was on a 5 game winning streak and they are all set for the playoffs. They have also clinched a first round bye. We don’t know what team Pittsburgh plays in the playoffs, but they may play Miami, Baltimore or some other team that hasn’t yet clinched a spot. It will be an exciting postseason, especially for the Steelers. Are they back to retake the Super Bowl? They sure think so! You really don’t want to miss a minute of it. Take a look at our 2009 Steelers playoff tickets today!
