Twins vs. White Sox Tickets

The end of the regular season Minnesota Twins schedule is almost here. They're two and a half games out of the first place spot in the division - the Chicago White Sox have a slight lead over the hometown boys. They're pretty far out of the Wild Card race, so they're going to have to take the Sox for everything they've got if they want to make it to the post-season! Good news: The Chicago White Sox will be playing the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week and Ticket King St. Paul has tickets that are still available! More good news: traditionally (knock on wood) the Chicago White Sox have had trouble winning games at the Dome, so we've definitely got an advantage over them! Don't miss your chance to see the Minnesota Twins stick it to the Chicago White Sox for three of their last six regular season home games this year, buy your Twins vs. White Sox tickets today!

Another Testimonial!

I received an email a while ago from a Ticket King customer. She and her husband purchased Vikings vs. Steelers tickets from us in August, and they had a GREAT experience at the game. Her husband has been very ill with leukemia, and they actually ended up sitting in a suite for the game - she writes:

My Dear Cortney,

My husband and I purchased tickets to see the Vikings play the Steelers on
Saturday August 24th. My husband is in a wheelchair as he recently had a bone
marrow transplant. We were unable to get his wheelchair to our seats, and ended
up being able to watch the game from a suite! This made my husband so happy he
was crying. He has never been able to come to a game before, only watched them
on T.V. - you made a very sick man very happy. He watches all of the games with
pride, and now he can tell everybody how well he was taken care of. Thank you
from the bottom of my heart.

-Carol

I love hearing about your experiences at events after buying tickets from us, email me your story and it could end up either on the blog or the site!

CNN Grill

For the Republican National Convention, CNN (the cable news station) rented out the Eagle Street Grill's prime location right across the street from the Xcel Energy Center (and four doors down from Ticket King St. Paul). They transformed the local eatery into their newsroom and a "new" restaurant, dubbed the CNN Grill, for the week of the event, complete with neon signs, window graphics and...napkins. I ordered lunch from Eagle Street last Friday, and they sent over my (fabulous) St. Paul Fever Salad with leftover napkins from the CNN invasion, which is actually pretty cool, and I thought I'd share with all of you!

Vikings vs. Colts Tickets

In case anyone doesn't already know this, the Minnesota Vikings home opener is this Sunday!

Vikings vs. Colts tickets are limited, but still available, and our Minneapolis store will be open on Saturday and Sunday for picking those bad boys up. Ticket King Minneapolis is located two blocks NORTH of the Metrodome on the corner of Chicago and Washington - so on the same block as the Old Spaghetti Factory.

We are also carrying great tickets for the full Minnesota Vikings schedule. Visit our website or call us at 651-298-8100 for more ticket information.

Twins vs. Royals

The Minnesota Twins are back at home (finally!), and are taking on the Kansas City Royals this week. This is their chance to really grab the reins, win some games and get closer to edging out the Chicago White Sox to win that divisional title that would get them a spot in the playoffs. If you want to catch the Twins before the end of the regular season, you'd better hurry! Including today's game, there are only nine more opportunities to catch a game at home. Our website currently has the most up-to-date information on Twins tickets that we have available, you can always call me at 651-298-8100 for information as well.

On a side note, the Minnesota Vikings have their home opener this SUNDAY at the Metrodome at noon. You definitely don't want to miss the Minnesota Vikings take on the Indianapolis Colts, and, although our inventory seems to be shrinking pretty rapidly right now, we do still have some Vikings vs. Colts tickets for this weekend available on our website.

Biggest Vikings Fan

We had the pleasure of meeting the Minnesota Vikings biggest fan ever in our Ticket King Minneapolis location this week. She came into our office with her mentor looking to pick up some Vikings vs. Colts tickets that her mentor had ordered the week before, and had the most purple pride of any Vikings fan we had ever met! One of the owners happened to be in the office when she stopped by, was so moved by her dedication to the team that he gave her an authentic Randy Moss autographed helmet that we had on display at our office. If you happen to catch her at the Metrodome, make sure you stop to say hi to the biggest Minnesota Vikings fan at the game!

RNC Aftermath

So I'm down here in our Ticket King St. Paul office, surveying the aftermath of the RNC. As you can see, my beautiful historic office is filled to the brim with things from Eagle Street - they needed somewhere to store their things while CNN took over the restaurant. It looks about the same outside - the police are still barracading the one block radius around the Xcel, it's still feels weird to be down here with all this stuff going on, even though it's been a week since it all started. We'll be back to business as usual at Ticket King St. Paul on Monday, have a good weekend!

Bad At Updates

I've been such a bad updater this week! But, I have a slight excuse...Ticket King St. Paul is closed this week. Actually, apparently they put up huge barricades in downtown St. Paul that have made actually accessing the shops down there pretty difficult. It has been pretty exciting watching all of the CNN broadcasts out of the Eagle Street Grill, though!

So just to give you an update, the Minnesota Twins play at home against the Detroit Tigers at the HHH Metrodome this weekend, their first home series in TWO WEEKS! If you're looking for Twins vs. Tigers tickets, we're open for business in our Minneapolis office through the weekend, so check out the site or give us a call at 612-341-4131 if you're looking for tickets!
