Praire Home Companion in Minneapolis!

I've been working on our Prairie Home Companion site this week, and I'm pretty excited about it! The live show is actually coming to Minneapolis on May 14 at the State Theatre!



As usual, I think I know WAAAAYYY too much about Prairie Home Companion and Garrison Keillor now, BUT as my good old childhood friend Dr. Seuss told me:

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."

On that note, check out our Prairie Home Companion site! Talk to you all soon! :)

Chino Latino = YUMMY!

One of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities is hands down Chino Latino! I love the variety of foods that they offer and the atmosphere is always fun. It's a tradition for my friends and I to go there during the weekend of my birthday, although I tend to go there many times throughout the year. It's such an "out there" restaurant...their clever phrases and slogans are pretty racy, but thats what makes it Chino!



Plus, the loaction is perfect! It's right in uptown so you can get lunch or dinner, and then head shopping or even to some of the most popular bars in the Twin Cities for drinks! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys great food and good service! :)

MN State Fair!!!

So one of my favorite things to do during the summer, although I can ONLY handle it once, is to go to the MN State Fair. I love the food, hanging with friends, seeing some good entertainment, and again, I LOVE the FOOD! haha...I'm really excited to see what kind of new things they come up with this year!



But along with good food that the MN State Fair is bringing this summer, it's also bring amazing artists that are performing at the Grandstand! The artists performing this year are Def Leppard, Heart, Big Time Rush, The Happy Together Tour, Steely Dan, Toby Keith, Marc Anthony, Maroon 5, and Train! It should be some amazing shows! And of course, we have tickets for all of these shows at Ticket King, so be sure to check them out on our site! Talk to you soon!

To Walk or Not to Walk?

So I've been contemplating whether I should walk or not for graduation at UST. I honestly don't want to wait more hours for my my named to be call...due to the fact that my last name is towards the end of the alphabet. Of course I have my friends and family begging me to walk, just for the experience, but I I must say that I'm just ready to be done! It's been a long four years...and although I LOVE UST, I'm really excited to be done!

Maybe I can think of some alternative to walking. Maybe even stage it? It wouldn't be completely authentic, but I'm sure everyone will get the same feeling. Haha...we'll see.

My DREAM job!

I'm a Communication and Journalism major and before making the choice of following a career in advertising and promotions, I wanted to be a broadcast journalist. Not just ANY broadcast journalist...But an entertainment news correspondent for E! haha...It was (and secretly still is) my dream job! I like my name too, but the correspondents they always have on the show have such cool names, so I had planned to have the stage name "Kameron Skye"....it looks cooler than it sounds due to the "K" and the added "e" at the end of Skye. haha.



I mean, honestly...getting paid to gossip and talk about celebrities and the entertainment industry?...sounds like a perect match! But I guess I do get to talk a lot about that here at Ticket King, too, so have I already found my dream job?! :)

Celtic Woman in Minneapolis!

Celtic Woman is coming to the Minnesota State Theatre in Minneapolis on April 22 until April 23 for their tour entitled "Songs of the Heart" for not one, not two, but a total of THREE shows!

Celtic Woman has been a sensation since the group formed in 2004, and they are staying strong with their fifth album Celtic Woman: Songs of the Heart. The women have had a new addition to the group for this tour, Lisa Lambe, who was described by the Irish Times as "the finest singer and actress of her generation on whom a whole new foundation of theatre can be built."

I've been working on our Celtic Woman site, and I know a lot about the group, probably more than I need to, but according to reception of the group throughout history and from reactions of their current tour thus far, it should be an amazing show. Looking at it from my eyes they're like the Pusscat Dolls or Spice Girls of Celtic music! So check out our Celtic Woman site by clicking here or visit us at Ticket King to view and purchase tickets!

Top 8 Concerts of the Spring/Summer

So I may be a little bias, because most of these concerts include some of my favorite celebrities, but I've compiled a list of what I think will be some of the best and highly anticipated concerts this summer in Minneapolis and St. Paul!!!

8.) Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is coming to St. Paul, MN for TWO nights, June 14 and June 15, at the Xcel Energy Center. With top-selling albums Fearless and Speak Now, this tour should turn out to be a pretty good concert for the pop country artist!

7.) Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae

Both of these artist are performing together on May 25 at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Bruon Mars and Janelle Monae have both had success as new artists and are entertaining and engaging performers, so I'm betting that seeing them in concert TOGETHER will be pretty amazing!

6.) Ke$ha

Although her music might start to get a little annoying and repetitive, I'm sure we've all been guilty of singing a Ke$ha song. lol Ke$ha is coming to St. Paul on August 30 to perform at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. I'm not sure how I feel about girl, but I'm sure the concert will be good! ;)

5.) Katy Perry

Although I'm more excited about the opening artist Robyn performing, I do think that Katy Perry's arrival and concert on July 9 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul should be pretty amazing!

4.) Adele

Tickets went fast for Adele's performance at First Avenue in Minneapolis on May 26, being why she's on my list...and I just love her music and voice. :)

3.) Usher and Akon

Usher and Akon are coming to Minneapolis on May 21 to perform at the Target Center! I must say that this concert will be quite entertaining....although I'm more excited for the Usher portion rather than the Akon. Not really a big fan...:/

2.) Rihanna

I already have my tickets! Rihanna is coming to the Target Center in Minneapolis on June 16 to perform some of hits off of her recent album Loud! Should definitely be entertaining!

1.) Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj

And last, but DEFINITELY not least, Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj are hitting the road together for Spears' Femme Fatale tour! I never imagined that these two would go on tour together, but the more I imagine it, the more I think about how AMAZING it's going to be!!! The concert takes place on July 6 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul! Can't Wait!!!

So there it is! Ticket King has tickets for all of these events and we'll keep you posted on ticket deals and news related to these concerts and many MORE!!! Til next time folks!!! 

Why is Twitter so popular?!

So when Twitter first arrived in the world of social media, I had no idea about it, what it was for, or even some of the lingo that followed it ("tweets" for example). Now, I STILL have minimal knowledge of the Twitter world....BUT I at least have an account, I just havent use it yet. haha I read a few tweets every once and a while, so I understand that Twitter is entertaining and a good way to make some buzz about something, but it seems a little confusing. I definitely thing  that they should invest in Twitter classes, where people like myself can go and learn the techniques about it...TWITTER 101! ;)

A Month Left...Ahhhh!!!

I'm counting down the days to gradtuation, and I have almost a month left before I'm all done! I've seriously been so busy with writing papers and doing projects, and feel a bit overwhelmed. I thought senior year would be a breeze, but it's turning out to be a bit more hectic than I expected, and my senioritis is definitely kicking in. But I keep reminding myself that it'll all pay off. Plus, summer is coming up so I'll be able to take a nice SHORT break, and then into the professional workforce I go...full time. (woof)

I swear the first thing on my TO DO list after graduation is drinking the largest margarita known to man! Something like this.....I DESERVE IT!!! ;)

Ticket King has $10 Twins Tickets!!!

So we now have $10 Twins tickets here at Ticket King for the game tomorrow at the Target Field stadium against the Kansas City Royals! I enjoy a pretty good baseball game, and as you can read in my blogs I've anticipated the start of baseball season. SOOOO GET ON THIS!!! Bring a couple of friends with and enjoy a good game of baseball!

Stay tuned for more deals like this...Trust me when I say there will be MANY more opportunities!

Britney Spears is coming to Xcel!

Britney Spears has announced some of her tour dates for her new album Femme Fatale, and yes...SHE'S COMING TO ST. PAUL!!! She announced that she was coming to the Xcel Energy Center on July 6th, amongst many other North American cities. Her new album has already gotten a lot of positive reception, especially with her two singles "Hold It Against Me" and "Till the World Ends" (which the video premiere's tomorrow), so people obviously have high expectations for her concert.



Its definitely been a wild ride watching the career of the singer, but I feel like she's definitely been on a good run for the last couple of years so DEFINITELY excited to see her in tour! I'll keep you posted on tickets and when we have some available here at Ticket King!
