Ticket Cortney on Hiatus

Well, guys, I'll be on hiatus for a couple of days. I'm going up north for a long weekend, so next week Ticket Kristy will be taking my spot down at Ticket King St. Paul - if you're down on West 7th Street, stop in and say "hi" to her and our new sports intern, Kirby!

On a more interesting note, the famous broadway musical, Wicked, will be making it's way back to Minnesota next fall! It's the story of how Glenda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West came to be in the Wizard of Oz. My parents went last year when the show was here, and loved it. Wicked tickets are sure to sell out fast, so make sure you get yours early! (:side note: make sure you buy for the ORPHEUM SHOW in MINNEAPOLIS - it's playing around the country.)

In other news, we're starting to get quotes on installing A/C in the St. Paul Ticket King office, I am so excited - if we didn't get it installed, this building would be unbearable in the middle of the summer. For all of our customer who have seen the new Ticket King St. Paul office, it's absolutely beautiful, we have these gorgeous exposed brick walls, our front ticket counter has bars from an old bank from the 1900's, it's just a great office. But it gets SO hot in here, and the heat just stays in here! So I can't WAIT until we get the A/C installed.

I'm hoping for some beautiful weather this weekend, see ya'll next week!

Ticket King St. Paul Testimonial

We received an email down here at Ticket King St. Paul today from someone who purchased Walking With Dinosaurs tickets to one of last weekend's shows from us, and I just thought I'd share:

"When I ordered my Walking With Dinosaurs tickets, I had the choice of picking
up my tickets one black away from the Xcel Energy Center at the St. Paul Ticket
King office. When I went to the St. Paul office to pick up my tickets, I was
greeted by a smiley young woman, who provided very good assistance. She haded me
my tickets and wished my kids a fun time at the Walking With Dinosaurs show. If
I order tickets again for anything at the Xcel Energy Center, I will definitely
be picking them up at the Ticket King St. Paul office."

See, guys! It really is easy to pick up your tickets at our office - no hassle, no waiting in lines, just show us an id, sign to say you picked them up and you're off to the event!

Week of June 16th at Ticket King St. Paul

It's a beautiful day down here at Ticket King St. Paul! And there's not a whole heck of a lot going on this week...just lots and lots of major and minor league baseball!

June 17th - 19th: Minnesota Twins vs. Washington Nationals tickets

June 19th: Return to Forever tickets

June 20th - 22nd: St. Paul Saints vs. Sioux Falls Canaries tickets

June 20th - 22nd: Minnesota Twins vs. Arizona Diamondbacks tickets

Not much else to report down here today. Although I am highly jealous of anyone who makes it to the pool on such a glorious day!

AC, Please!

Apparently we live in the dark ages down here at Ticket King St. Paul. Ok, maybe not the dark ages, but we don't have air conditioning. It's not too bad right now, as long as all the fans are going and the windows/door are open. But it will definitely not be very amusing if come August 1st, when it's a bazillion degrees outside and super humid, we still do not have a/c. Because then, my friends, you will find a frizzy-haired, non-sunshiney version of Ticket Cortney.

Well, now that that's out of the way, let's move onto more important topics...like the fact that Walking with Dinosaurs is this weekend and this weekend only. I cannot believe how incredibly popular this show is. There are so many adorable little kids walking around W. 7th Street today, I can't believe it.

Amos Lee is playing tomorrow night at the Minnesota Zoo Ampitheater. It's a great venue for concerts and I still have a couple of tickets available. If you're interested in going, shoot me an email or check out the site, or give us a call before 2 PM tomorrow (the Minneapolis Ticket King is open from 9-2).

For the past couple of weeks (and for the next couple of weeks), we have been/will be working on lots and lots of new content for the Ticket King St. Paul website. You'll have access to tons of information about your favorite teams, players, team match-ups, concerts, venues, everything. It's all very exciting, this new website for our St. Paul location. I'll start posting some direct links next week when we start loading the content onto the new site.

Have a great weekend!

Walking With Dinosaurs

This weekend is the highly anticipated Walking With Dinosaurs shows at the Xcel Energy Center! And we're super busy down here at Ticket King St. Paul selling Walking With Dinosaurs tickets, it's definitely been heating up since last week. What is this super hot show, you ask? Well, originally it was a television production by the BBC that utilized computer generated graphics and animatronic puppets that recreated the life of the Mesozoic era. The show received such high acclaim that it was turned into a live production, and is touring the world. It will consist of two parts, thirty-five minutes each, with a twenty minute intermission. Here are the show times for this weekend if you're looking to purchase Walking with Dinosaurs tickets:

Friday, June 13th: 1 PM

Friday, June 13th: 7 PM

Saturday, June 14th: 11 AM

Saturday, June 14th: 3 PM

Saturday, June 14th: 7 PM

Sunday, June 15th: 1 PM

Sunday, June 15th: 5 PM

These tickets are great graduation presents for the kids, or for Father's Day on Sunday! Give me a call or check out the website for more details!

Hey All!

Also, if you're looking for a little road trip, the Minnesota Twins will be playing the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park this weekend! Miller Park is a ton of fun, they have a retractable roof, it's like a little taste of what the Minnesota Twins games will be like in the new stadium. Perfect for the multi-tasker who loves to tan and watch a good game of baseball at the same time :)

I also was recently informed that the Coldplay schedule has changed. The concert, originally scheduled to be at the Xcel Energy Center on July 8th, has been moved to November 14th. So now, instead of being at the beginning of the Coldplay tour, we'll be closer to the end.

If you're looking for tickets to any of these events, or have any questions, shoot me an email, leave a comment or give me a call at 651-298-8100. Have a great week!
