Carrie Underwood Sells Out In England

Carrie Underwood concert tickets are a hot commodity in the United States, but in Britain, the star is anything but a household name. Even still, Underwood is on a mission to bring country music to the United Kingdom, and her Blown Away tour has been making waves on the other side of the pond. Her recent concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London was completely sold out, an indication that her popularity is increasing.

The tour won't be back in the United States until September, but tickets have been selling out for the remaining US dates. With back-to-back wins as country music's entertainer of the year, Carrie Underwood is known for putting on exciting shows with all of her tours, and with reviewers saying that the Blown Away tour tops her other efforts, it's sure to be one of the hottest concert events of the year.

Super Bowl XLVII Details Released

The NFL has announced that Super Bowl XLVII will be played in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on February 3, 2013, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Hosting the Super Bowl is a great boon for a city, and for New Orleans, still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, the game is seen as a way of celebrating the city's recuperation after the devastating storm. The Superdome was a symbol of the suffering during the aftermath of the hurricane, but with the city on the mend, it should change to be a symbol of the new hope in New Orleans.

Even though the season has yet to start, excitement for tickets to this great event has already begun to build. With months left before the game, fans are already scouting for discount Super Bowl XLVII tickets.

AC Milan, Cruzerio Head to the USA

Italy's AC Milan and Brazil's Cruzerio are two of the hottest teams in professional soccer, and while there are millions of soccer fans in the US, there aren't many chances to see great international competition here in the States. Fortunately, those fans who have always wanted to find AC Milan tickets for sale are in luck this summer! The team will face Cruzerio in a friendly match in Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on August 4. Soccer enthusiasts know that the controlled European style of AC Milan and the more flamboyant Brazilian game should make for a great match.

AC Milan will also be demonstrating their skills in two other games in the US this summer. They face Real Madrid in New York City on August 8, and they square off against Chelsea in Miami on July 28. These exhibition matches are extremely popular with American soccer fans. The last time AC Milan played in the US, a capacity crowd of 42,531 watched them beat Inter Milan 2-0. While the team uses these matches as a way to gear up for their own season, it gives American soccer fans a way of boosting the game's visibility in the US.

Phish Tour Blasts Into Summer

Phish has long been known as the quintessential summer band. Much like the Grateful Dead, their improvisational style, long jams onstage, and fans who travel with them from city to city make this musical group stand out from all the others. When the group broke up in 2004, Phish heads, as fans are affectionately known, thought their chance to get Phish concert tickets had come to an end.

Fortunately, in 2009, the band reunited, and they have been touring every summer since. This year, they just hit the halfway mark on the first leg of their tour in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, a show critics say proves the band is still in top form. Hitting the midway point also means that more tickets have become available for future tour dates. Three August dates in Oakland, California, known for being a favorite tour stop for the band, open up for ticket sales today. Despite having three chances to see Phish, ticketing experts predict the three shows will sell out well in advance. Buying tickets early is the best way of ensuring the perfect Phish tour experience!

Wicked Ticket Sales Soar After Tonys

Wicked has always been one of the bestselling musicals on Broadway. Following the Tony awards, the new musicals on the Great White Way tend to surge in sales and surpass old chestnuts like Wicked. In fact, Once, the winner of the best new musical Tony, took in one million dollars for the week for the first time since it opened, yet Wicked took in twice that amount in ticket sales in the same week. The surge in Wicked ticket sales isn't surprising. Always a favorite among tourists and theater lovers alike, Wicked has broken sales records throughout its nearly decade long run. Summer is also when tourists flock to New York City, and their favorite shows tend to be musicals. Some may hunt for discount Wicked tickets, but with the popularity of Stephen Schwartz's megahit once again surging, fans might find it hard to find seats in these standing room only performances. The success of the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the real story of the land of Oz has kept theatergoers coming back, and ticket sales don't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

NY Yankees Riding High After Subway Series

The New York Yankees topped the New York Mets on Monday night 6-5 on the strength of two homers by Swisher and Cano. The Subway Series, as this interleague matchup has been dubbed, is a point of pride for fans in New York City. This year, the Yankees took the series 5-1, continuing their dominance over the Mets. Some have complained that the series is unevenly matched. The Yankees, with their explosive bats and almost unbeatable pitching roster, have been considered the team to beat going into the playoffs, and while the Mets have had strong years since the Subway Series began in 1997, they haven't performed as well as the Yankees. Even still, fans can't get enough of the six game series each year. Tickets for the games go quickly, and finding cheap Yankees tickets, which can be tough to find even for regular games, can become almost impossible when the two New York teams meet up. Though there are critics of interleague play, the Subway Series proves that fans can't get enough of two beloved teams meeting outside the playoffs.
