Best place to park at new Cowboys Stadium?

The new Cowboys Stadium is one of the finest venues in professional sports.  It is also one of the biggest, with a capacity of over 100,000 people for big events.  And because there are few if any public transportation options when heading to an event in Arlington and so many other people looking for parking, then [...]

Who plays in the 2010 BCS Championship Game?

It’s not even one month into the 2009 college football season yet, but fans are already starting to size up whether their team has what it takes to make it to Pasadena.  The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California is hosting the 2010 BCS Championship Game on January 7th.  This college football National Championship Game will [...]

The Week in TicketCity Search – September 25th

After 2 weeks of total chart domination, Jay-Z vanishes without a trace, having entered and exited entirely at #1. Guess the fans are a bit fickle. Not surprisingly, the Austin City Limits Music Festival steps up to take his place. We still have passes available for those who want to go, but your options may [...]

It’s M-E-T-A-L-L-I-C-A

When not keeping track of what people are looking for on our website, one of my other terribly exciting jobs is making sure people find what they’re looking for. This includes handling misspelled searches. Since our search technology is a bit more modest than Google’s, I deal with misspellings manually. Which to [...]

The Week in TicketCity Search – September 18th

With one notable exception, a rather stable top 10, particularly the top 5 area. Jay-Z continues to hold top spot by a wide margin, and the Longhorns remained at number 2. In fact, things would have been remarkably unchanged in the top 5 where it not for the sudden appearance of wildcard Aventura.
Aventura, originally from [...]

Get Off My Broadway

News broke that Avenue Q, a popular mainstay on Broadway for the last 6 years or so, and winner of the 2004 Tony Award for Best Musical, is moving “Off Broadway,” a direction most productions don’t take. Generally speaking, the move is in the opposite direction, as Off Broadway productions “make the big time” [...]

The Week in TicketCity Search – September 11th

More big movement this week. It’s good, gives me something to rattle on about. The biggest change is the most obvious: Jay-Z rocketing from nowhere to take the top spot. Not only did he take it, he crushed the competition in doing so. The recent release of part 3 of the 3 part The Blueprint [...]

Reviving Originals On Broadway This Fall

So the AP posts 2 stories back to back about the upcoming fall season on Broadway, titled, respectively, “Musical revivals outpace new shows on Broadway“, and “New plays outnumber revivals on Broadway this fall“. Once the initial bout of cognitive dissonance wore off, I slowly remembered that plays and musicals were 2 different things. One [...]
