EXCELLENT SEATS

ryanfullam — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:44:33 -0400

I had been searching for seats for this past week's Giants game for almost 2 weeks and everything was extremely over priced for bad tickets. I stumbled across this website (off google) and found seats 8 rows off the field for under face value. I was nervous that the tickets were going to be fake until I got to the game, and sure enough they were real!! The seats were amazing and the entire experience I had on ticketliquidator.com was great. I never write reviews on sites like these, but I was very pleased and wanted to go out of my way to compliment this site.

My family (it was 8 of us) ranging from ages 14 to 80 went and saw Bye Bye Birdie yesterday. We all just loved it. This WAS only my 6th broadway show, but we all really loved the characters. They really made the play. Funny, and great dancing and singing too! A good place to eat right across theatre and a little down is the Brooklyn Diner. Very friendly and great food!

The Wiggles Go Bananas

My son had the greatest time ever. The Wiggles where just as great live as they are on video. Murray came up right next to us and waved to my son and the kids next to him. He also ready our sign we made that says Dylan Likes TO Wake Up Jeff. The songs and dancing was great and the whole performance was just wonderful. This was our very first ever Wiggles concert and we are glad we spent the money, we would do it again 100 x over if it would make our son that happy again.

The Killers

I had the BEST time at the Killers concert Monday night! It was an early birthday present from my husband. It was my first time seeing them. They put on a great show, lots of energy. We had great seats, 4th row behind the pit area! Brandon looked hot, I'm glad I got to see him pretty close up without having to look at the big screen. It was a fabulous evening and the weather was perfect. They played for almost two hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. We also enjoyed the opening band "Wolfmother" they had a harder, different sound than the Killers, which made for a well rounded evening.

Michael Jackson Dead

Josh Kimble — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:07:04 -0400

The world's most popular, controversial, innovative and universal figure, Michael Jackson, died yesterday, June 25th, 2009. It was reported that the King of Pop was found in his Holmby Hills, CA rental not breathing around 12:30 PM- paramedics noted that Jackson was in cardiac arrest at the scene. After over an hour of resuscitative efforts, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead- the actual cause of death has yet to be determined.

Despite the controversy and oddball bouts with the law, Michael Jackson has left quite a legacy in his wake, one that may never be topped. Michael was just 5 years old when he began his career, joining 4 brothers in the pop sensation- The Jackson 5, which produced hits like "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There." Under the strict and often abusive direction of their father, the Jackson 5 topped the charts and provided a platform for Michael's solo fame.

During his solo career this Hollywood Walk of Famer is not only a two time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he also holds many Guinness World Records for his 13 number one singles, 13 Grammy Awards and his unsurpassed record sales. His 1982 record Thriller containing the hits "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin," "Thriller," "Beat It," "Billy Jean " and "P.Y.T" is still the best-selling record of all time.

Michael Jackson transcended racial barriers and influenced a legion of pop stars with his talent. Jackson has been named a "Musical Phenomenon" and has enjoyed unparalleled fame with what has been and what will always be the most unique voice in the pop music industry. Jackson's high tenor, characterized by vocal "hiccups," exhibit, according to critic Nelson George, "The grace, the aggression, the growling, the natural boyishness, the falsetto, the smoothness—that combination of elements mark him as a major vocalist".

Fans gathered outside of UCLA Medical Center where Jackson was pronounced dead, the Apollo Theater in NYC and the Motown Museum to pay tribute to the fallen star. Major social networking sites including Twitter and online news and gossip publications received an unforeseen surge of visitors that many sites crashed. The first site to report his death, TMZ, was quoted by major online newsgroups while his death was still under speculation.

Jackson was on the heels of his 02 Arena engagement in London that promised 50 shows to fans gathering from all four corners of the Earth. Quincy Jones had this to say about the tragedy- "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words." Jackson will be sorely missed by both fans and stars alike.

China’s Fake Olympics: Even Better than the Real Thing

Bernard Watson — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:51:37 -0400

If you want to counterfeit something you go to the Far East because they can fake things better than the real thing. Everyone knows that. But some things ain’t meant to be faked and one of those things includes the Olympics Opening Ceremony. I mean if you had bought Olympics tickets at some astronomic rate and were confronted with this Oriental jiggery-pokery you would be entitled to be a bit miffed. Apparently, nobody told our Chinese friends this because last weekend they impressed the world with an amazing opening to the summer games in Beijing. There were gigantic footprints – the "footprints of God", no less – striding across the city in firework form. Fireworks that have been since declared a computer generated hoax! Apparently there are conflicting reports; Richard Spencer of the Huffington Post claimed that the firework God-feet were quite real and that the fakery was concocted to overcome logistical filming problems. On the other hand, The Oregonian reporter Jon Canzano says he was in Tienanmen Square during the ceremony and says people there saw "two tiny flarelike blasts pop in the sky, followed by a lot of nothing". Canzano goes on to say "they were probably baffled by the widespread reports of the lit-up sky, exploding footprints and brilliant fireworks. And today, I'm thinking those people are relieved to learn they're not losing their marbles."

Madchester Band James to Tour US in Fall 2008

Bernard Watson — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:49:02 -0400

Fancy yerself a bit of a Manc scally do yer? Because if you do, James tickets are on sale now! James concert dates have been officially confirmed and their American audience will get to see them one more time. The former “Madchester” band are to reunite for a US tour this fall; the James tour schedule will carry the band through September and into October but that’s your lot – if you want to buy James tickets then move now as there aren’t many to go round. James recently released “Hey Ma”, their first album in 7 years and last year’s double-disc “Fresh as a Daisy: The Singles” has brought all you old scallywags out of the closet and into the light. Despite being in the public eye since the early-80s, James didn’t properly arrive until the early-90s. Indeed, when Manchester United won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in Rotterdam in 1991, the crowd danced and sang James’ “Sit Down” en masse. The song became an anthem for Man United soccer fans to the extent that when United won the UEFA Champions Cup 8 years later in Barcelona it was played on the stadium PA system.

US Air Guitar Championships Tickets? Whatever Next?

Bernard Watson — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:22:11 -0400

Do you play Air Guitar? Huh? Come on, don’t give me that rolling your eyes look, answer me! Do. You. Play. Air. Guitar. Eh? Because if you do, you’d better buy US Air Guitar Championships tickets and get your booty down to the American Air Guitar Challenge which starts today, June 3, 2008, in New York City!
I’m not messing around here; you know you can do this. After all, weren’t you the man, back in the day? When you thought your big sister was off doing chores, she was actually creased up with laughter, spying through the door-crack while you made an utter polyp of yourself in front of that mirror you loved so much. Air guitar ain’t for sissies or quitters, that’s for sure. You have to be ready to take some flak in that game. You have to be prepared to truly die (of embarrassment) for your art. I personally have a long and distinguished career as a major "airness" figure (in my house at least), and I can take you through 3 Doors Down’s “Kryptonite” better than Matt Roberts himself! They’d flock to buy 3 Doors Down tickets if they thought they’d get to hear my Superman, or Krytonite, whatever it’s called. Don’t get me wrong, I’m under no illusions; I know that particular solo is nothing special. Not like when I’m totally in the zone and the proper dancing starts and I throw something like “Sweet Child O’ Mine” on there by G&R. Now that’s air guitar, let me tell you. I’m not saying I go the whole hog – put a bandana on, or even a wig, for that matter – but I do let rip and give ‘em what they want, the imaginary 150,000 crowd, that is. So what of it, Punkness? You gonna get down to that thur Big Apple and grapple with some air? You gonna strap on that nonexistent appendage and hit those high nothing notes on that imaginary Stairway to Heaven of yours?

Madonna Tickets and Five Pound Notes. Just Divine!

Bernard Watson — Tue, 20 May 2008 15:57:30 -0400

She's attracted attention to herself for snogging Britney, shagging Sean Penn, and marrying wannaba-working-class-but-really-a-middle-class-drip-from-London Guy Ritchie.

Recently she seems to have sparked a mass Hollywood flip to quasi-mystico-Judaism, with Demi Moore, Lindsey Lohan, and Britney Spears (again!) following suit, sporting braided red wrist-strings the significance of which surely none of them have the foggiest idea. But rumors are now pointing to the divorce courts for the artist formerly known as Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone and her poof-guy-not-tough-guy Guy. If those two split, there'll be plenty of five-pound notes flying, that's for sure. I believe in England they call them "sky-divers", fivers. Or "deep sea divers"...

Sting Under Fire as his Reputation Cools

Josh Kimble — Wed, 14 May 2008 17:14:52 -0400

With thousands of acres of rainforest being demolished every year for farmland and wood harvesting, charities are scrambling at the chance to preserve one of the world’s natural wonders. We all thought that Gordon Sumner, also known as superstar "Sting," and his wife Trudie Styler were heading up a noble effort with their Rainforest Foundation Charity. However, It has recently come to the attention of Charity Navigator, a charity evaluator, that less than half of the monies raised at Sting’s 2006 charity concert were actually allocated to rainforest efforts. This earned the foundation a zero stars out of a possible four for effectiveness.
