Crazy in STP

It's nuts down here by Ticket King St. Paul. There are so many people everywhere you turn, I just can't believe that the RNC is almost here. We've been talking about it for SO long - and tomorrow the street baracades go up. There's a huge "free speech" tent that's gone up across the street from the Xcel Energy Center on the corner of W. 7th and Kellogg - the empty parking lot space. And the big screen on the exterior of the Xcel shows the interior build-out of the arena for the speeches - it's actually pretty cool. We actually had some of the bomb squad guys come in and buy tickets at Ticket King St. Paul last week, and that was really interesting. They've been in town for five or six weeks making sure that the Xcel and surrounding areas are safe! There are people walking around everywhere down here with the super special "RNC member" lanyards. Man, I'm glad we're going to be closed for the next week, it's going to be complete craziness down on the streets of St. Paul!

Week of August 25th at Ticket King

It's the last week of August, and the Minnesota State Fair is in full swing! Annnd to be honest with you that's pretty much all that's going on this week. No home games on the Minnesota Vikings schedule and the Twins are still on their 14-day away game bender. Here's what's up at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand this week:

Monday, August 25th: Dierks Bentley tickets

Tuesday, August 26th: Paramore tickets

Wednesday, August 27th: Mark Schultz tickets

Friday, August 29th: Prairie Home Companion tickets

AND also on the event list this week:

MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS TICKETS

for their first regular season home football game of the season at the HHH Metrodome. Don't miss these guys in their last season at the Dome - they're shaping up to be a great team this year! And ticket prices can't be beat for this Saturday's game. You can even pick them up on your way down there at our Minneapolis location, two blocks north of the Metrodome on the corner of Chicago and Washington. Call us at 651-298-8100 or check out our website for more information!

Vikings vs. Steelers

The Minnesota Vikings are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers TOMORROW at the HHH Metrodome! I know it's just a preseason game, but it's been SUPER popular with all of our customers - I suppose it doesn't hurt that we have tickets starting at just $5 for this game. If you're looking for something else to do this weekend, why not check out a show at the State Fair?? Jonny Lang is playing at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Sunday night, and Dierks Bentley will be playing with Miranda Lambert at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Monday night!

Give us a call (651-298-8100) or check out our website for ticket information!

Ticket King and the RNC

Things are pretty crazy both inside and outside of the office down here at Ticket King St. Paul! With Vikings season kicking into full gear, and the Minnesota Timberwolves schedule, Minnesota Wild schedule and Minnesota Gophers schedule soon to follow, we are super busy with sports tickets right now. And the preparations for the RNC at the Xcel Energy Center have made it quite hectic on the streets of St. Paul. Just a note to all of our customers, Ticket King St. Paul will be closed starting Friday, August 29th and will re-open Monday, September 8th for the convention - but Ticket King Minneapolis, conveniently located two blocks from the Metrodome on the corner of Chicago and Washington, will be open during that time. If you have tickets at the St. Paul office to pick up for events during the RNC and don't have a chance to pick them up before next Thursday, they will be available for pick up in Minneapolis. Email me with any questions!

Final Saints Homestand!

The St. Paul Saints have only SIX regular season home games left - which means you only have six more opportunities to check out their famous tailgate and game giveaways this season! There are a few featured events on their calender that would make a perfect last-dash-of-summer/back-to-school treat!

Saints vs. Wingnuts tickets for August 16th will put you in the running for a lunchbox giveaway sponsored by Xcel Energy!

Saints vs. Saltdogs tickets for August 20th will get you into the final regular season game and give you access to the FIREWORKS DISPLAY for fan appreciation night.

Week of August 11th at Ticket King St. Paul

IT'S THE TWINS VS. YANKEES SERIES THIS WEEK!!!!

Obviously we're more than a little excited to have this matchup right now, although I'm slightly concerned as far as our divisional ranking goes if the Twins haven't gotten over their last meeting with the Yankees. Anyway, we still have a good number of Twins vs. Yankees tickets available, but they're moving quickly so you'd better act fast!

Chris Isaak tickets are still available for his show playing at the Minnesota Zoo this coming Wednesday evening. The shows at the Zoo are pretty cool - they convert the bird ampitheater into a concert venue.

The Saint Paul Saints are taking on the Wichita Wingnuts in their second-to-last series of the season. Get in on all the fun at their famous tailgate and catch an outdoor game at Midway Stadium - while the Saints vs. Wingnuts tickets are still around!

The second series on the Minnesota Twins schedule this week happens this coming weekend when the Twins take on the Seattle Mariners at the Metrodome Friday through Sunday. With the divisional battle for first place going on, Twins Mariners tickets are hot, hot, hot!

Remember, our website is active 24/7 and our phones (651-298-8100) are manned from 8 AM to 6 PM with extended hours on game days, so let us know if you're looking for tickets to any upcoming events!

We have BIG Weekend Plans!

This is going to be quite a busy weekend at Ticket King. To kick things off, we have the first Minnesota Vikings Pre-season game of the year:

VIKINGS VS. SEAHAWKS TICKETS are still available for tomorrow night's game at incredibly discounted prices - buy now for the best selection - and you can pick up two blocks from the Metrodome tomorrow anytime between 8 AM and 7 PM. You can also call us at 651-298-8100 if you don't want to order online!

The "event of the year", as it's been dubbed, is happening Saturday night at the Target Center: UFC 87 tickets are moving fast, I can't believe how popular this event is. Much bigger than WWE, and way more awesome :-)

James Blunt and Sheryl Crow will be playing at Northrop Auditorium Saturday night, as well. I have a feeling that this will be a really fun concert to go see, and there are only a couple of seats left to the entire sold-out show. If you're interested, you'd better get a move on before the tickets are gone!

For the kids: The Wiggles are playing all weekend as well, and we still have a few Wiggles tickets lying around the office that just came in - if you're looking to occupy the kiddies this weekend, you'll definitely be their favorite person EVER if you take them to this highly-anticipated children's show!

Vikings vs. Seahawks

Just a friendly reminder from your favorite staff down here at Ticket King St. Paul that we have absolutely phenomenal pricing on this coming friday's preseason game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks.

Vikings vs. Seahawks tickets start at just $5!!!!! Visit the site or give us a call today :)

Week of August 4th at Ticket King

Hey all of you Ticket King blog readers! It was definitely a good weekend for the Minnesota Twins as they took over the first place position in our division. It's still a little early to be talking playoffs, but this Minnesota Twins fan definitely has her fingers crossed!

If you want to catch the fabulous Minnesota Twins in action, the Minnesota Twins schedule doesn't bring the hometown boys back to the Metrodome until next Monday through Wednesday, when they'll be taking on the New York Yankees. This isn't a series that you want to miss, it's been quite a few years since we've had the Yankees at home this late in the series, and the boys are definitely prepped to bring their "A" game to the field to make up for last month's {slight blip} at Yankee Stadium.

Here's what's going on THIS week in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area:

August 4th and 5th: Los Lonely Boys tickets

August 7th and 8th: St. Paul Saints vs. Fort Worth Cats tickets

August 7th through 9th: The Wiggles tickets

August 8th: MINNESOTA VIKINGS VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS TICKETS

August 9th: UFC 87 tickets

August 9th: James Blunt and Sheryl Crow tickets

August 10th: Larry the Cable Guy tickets

It's going to be a much more busy week at Ticket King St. Paul than what we've had for the last couple of weeks, and we are SO excited that the Minnesota Vikings schedule takes us to the Metrodome this FRIDAY for the first home pre-season game of the year! S'kol Vikes!

This week has been absolutely crazy down here at Ticket King with Twins fever kicking into high gear, and the Minnesota Vikings preseason starting next week! If you're looking for a super fun thing to do this weekend, go check out a game at the Dome. Ticket King still has some availablility for Minnesota Twins vs. Cleveland Indians tickets, and you're seriously not going to find a better deal anywhere else.

Now onto more important things...I've recently become tuned into Duffy, who is classified is neo sould, rock and roll, and blues. She has kind of an Amy Winehouse kind of sound, minus the drugs and crazy lady image. She's really just a cute blonde from Wales. And I think all of you Ticket King St. Paul customers should check out her music if you haven't already...so here's a YouTube video of the UK version of her video, Mercy.

:side note: the US version is cool, too, but I can't get it to load here, I just have the link.:
