The world of Professional Bull Riding is often overlooked and not given the credit of being one of the most exhilarating sports to watch. Much like the world of NASCAR, Professional Bull Riding holds that suspenseful allure over spectators… that feeling of "in one second, things can go horribly, horribly wrong." One moment the bull rider can be adeptly mastering his beast vehicle, looking as if he will safely attain the requisite 8 seconds on top. One small oversight or slip in over-confidence, however, and the rider's face can be jerked into a concussive meeting with the much sturdier bull's head, followed by a trampling if the bull feels the urge. It's this uneasy excitement that really drives the sport and makes it so interesting to watch. Animal lovers can root for the bull to come out the victor and human lovers can root for the rider. PBR covers both types of interest. Even though the year is winding down, there are still some great chances left to catch all the action of a PBR event live. Take a look at our PBR tickets and find out when the next event comes to a town near you!

While it may be quickly losing ground to the newer, faster and (dare I say) more hardcore world of Mixed Martial Arts Fighting, the "gentleman's sport" of boxing can still thrill the audience when there are two really great fighters going at it in a highly anticipated match. While that in itself may be a somewhat rare occasion anymore, the boxing world has just recently put on some worth-the-hype matches (such as Hopkins vs. Pavlik and Calzaghe vs. Jones Jr.) and has some future tricks up its sleeve as well. The most notable upcoming matchup will be between "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya and "Pac-Man" Manny Pacquiao. Widely regarded as the best pound for pound fighter in boxing today, Pacquiao is actually listed as the underdog for this matchup because of the fact that he will be fighting up above his normal weight class. Boxing pundits feel that he will be moving too far up to fight against De La Hoya, who will be fighting in a weight class very close to his natural body weight. But then again, Pacquiao is 6 years the junior of De La Hoya so speed and conditioning will be on his side, as well as a recent boxing history that has pushed his confidence level to the ceiling. The one thing fans can expect, however, is a lot of hard hitting punches from both men. Neither wants this to be left in the hands of the judges. You can catch all of this action live if you check out our supply of boxing tickets and find seats to their December 6th showdown today!

6-0 in the conference. 10-0 overall. What team could this be? This year, it could be several teams, but one of the big surprises this time around is the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. They’re headed to the SEC Championship game next month, but they have some tough competition this season, so they have little room for error. Still, it’s a great improvement over last season, when they went 7-6 and ended up second-to-last in the SEC West Division. This year, they haven’t lost, and they may have to go completely unbeaten in order to keep their chances at the National Championship alive. It looks good for them, as most of their games haven’t even been close this season. Last week against LSU was as close as it got; they needed an overtime period in order to seal the deal. We shall see how they do this week and how they do in two weeks against Auburn. Hey! Do you want to see any of those games? How about the SEC championship game? You will not be disappointed! Get your Alabama football tickets right away!

The University of Pittsburgh Panthers have been getting better and better over the last several years. Over the last 7 years, they have won more than any other Big East team. They are one of only six schools in the nation that have gone to the Sweet Sixteen 4 times since 2002. The 2007-8 season marked their 15th all time 20-win season. So much for the past. The team’s guards used to be the engine and spirit of the team, but this year, the forwards are on track to hold their own. Actually, the forwards almost look better than the guards. What does all this add up to anyway? The University of Pittsburgh Panthers are ranked #5 in the nation and are expected to go all the way to March Madness again. Tonight is opening night for them against Fairleigh Dickenson. The Panthers have won 11 consecutive opening night games. They also have 6 of their top 9 players from last season. It sounds like a recipe for a great opening night and a great year. Don’t miss a single game! Get your Pitt basketball tickets now!

Even though it's not over this year, it practically is.  The Sprint Cup is sprinting to the end of the series, with Jimmie Johnson in a very commanding lead, which he will not relinquish this year, unless he really does poorly in Florida this upcoming weekend. This will be his 3rd straight Cup championship, which puts him in a very small club. He is ahead by 141 points this time around, which is hard to lose in just one race.  So we turn towards next year.  After all, the Daytona 500 is only a couple months away; it happens in mid-February. So that's only a little while for us to catch our breaths.  Who are the players to watch for?  Jeff Burton will probably be hoping for a comeback. Of course, Johnson will be looking to defend his championship.  But the up-and-coming racers are Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch, who have improved immensely this year. They each have several winning races under their belt, though not only from the Sprint Cup, but also from the Truck Series and others. This doesn't count in the Driver of the Year awards or anything, but it bodes well for them next year. We in NASCARLand hold our collective breaths for next year. If you don't want to miss a race, get your 2009 NASCAR tickets today!

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) just keeps getting more popular.  Anyone who likes a good boxing or wrestling match has seen nothing until they've seen this! Two guys, using nothing but their own fists, arms, knees and feet, go at it and try to take the other guy out.  And in the UFC, taking the guy out usually means knocking him out. It is also called Mixed Martial Arts.  It's a combination of Jiujitsu, Brasilian Martial Arts, Karate, and other martial arts.  Basically, anything in any fighting sport that can be useful is brought into the fight.  At the moment, there are two heavyweight champions, an American, Randy Couture, and a Brasilian for the interim, named Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. It's always a wild ride, everytime you see it.  And most people have only seen it on TV.  In person it's completely in-your-face! If you like Karate, if you like Boxing, if you like wrestling, real or WWE, then this is a sport you gotta try out! It begins in just a couple days! Hurry, check out our UFC tickets!

The San Jose Sharks are simply cruising through the competition so far in the new season of NHL hockey. Led by high powered offensive lines, the Sharks have tallied the league leading 50 goals scored, while their miserly defense has held the opposition to only 34 goals. But these stats only point towards the only stat that really matters in the season: the team record. Right now the Sharks stand at a simply astonishing 12-2. They are perfect at home with an 8-0 record, but their 4-2 record on the road is nothing to slouch at either. Yet unfortunately for the Sharks, their brick wall in between the posts went down during last night's shootout. While the extent of the injury to Nabokov is not yet clearly defined, backup goalie Brian Boucher will be called up to fill his shoes. The Sharks' next game will be against the 4-6 Dallas Stars so he won't need to be incredible, just present. You can be present for any game during the season too if you act on the cheap hockey tickets that we offer to nearly every match.

Who doesn't like a good Body Slam? Wrestling may be all staged, but they always put together an awesome show. There are so many different groups of wrestling now. There's the WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Monday Night Raw and a whole bunch of others. It's hard to decide which one to watch. The storylines are detailed, complicated, and a whole lotta fun! There's always a defeat to be avenged, honor to retrieve and a villain to take down. It is always a big adventure to watch it! And who doesn't like the stars? Ok, so Hulk Hogan isn't really around anymore, but Chris Jericho just won the World Heavyweight Championship a few days ago.  Carlito and Primo just won the WWE Tag Team event which was crazy this year!  There's always a great bit of drama unfolding. Never been to a WWE or other wrestling event in person?  Then check out our wrestling tickets!

After tonight's MNF game, week 9 of the NFL football season will have concluded, leaving the Tennessee Titans as the (still) lone undefeated team in the league. It wasn't a whole lot like their other 7 (relatively) comfortable victories, however. The Green Bay Packers clawed and fought for every point, first down, and yard. The Titans were put on their heels, never up by more than six and losing by four in the 2nd quarter. Nonetheless, they gutted it out and finished off the Pack 19-16 in overtime on a 41-yard field goal kick by Rob Bironas. On the day, Bironas went 4 for 5 on field goals, missing the crucial game-winning kick with 4 seconds to go in regulation. When he was given another shot to end it, he made sure to "aim small and miss small," keeping the Titans perfect season in tact for another week despite an imperfect all-around performance. Yet perfection may be the last thing on the Titans' minds right now. In typical fashion, they want to take it one game at a time, as well as figure out their Vince Young situation. This upcoming week the Titans will play in Chicago against the 5-3 Bears. If you want to support the Titans' perfect season, do it in person and take advantage of our great Titans tickets.

The Duke men’s basketball program has an impressive history. Over the years they have won in the ACC Regular Season, ACC Tournament Championships, and several times won the NCAA Tournament Championships. The team has the highest tournament winning percentage (.748). But the last two years have not been very kind to the Blue Devils. Two years in a row, they have lost in the early rounds of March Madness. Now they’re pumped up to make their comeback into the Elite Eight, the Final Four and beyond. Their coach has told them to play hard and “Play for now. Play for the moment.” They are definitely ready to play this year and it’s going to be a great team. You should see them for yourself. Take a look at our Duke basketball tickets and see a game with one of college basketball’s most popular teams!
