The First Round Of The NFL Playoffs Is Set!

January 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It came down to literally the last game of the season, but the NFL Playoffs schedule has been finalized.

In the AFC, the NY Jets and the Indianapolis Colts battle in Indiana in a rematch of last year’s AFC championship game, which the Colts won 30-17. The second game will take place in Kansas City, where the Chiefs will take on the Baltimore Ravens. The AFC West-champions are 7-1 at home, its only loss coming in the last game against the Oakland Raiders.

On the other side of the bracket sees last year’s champs, the New Orleans Saints, take on the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle won the NFC West crown with a 7-9 record, and thus becomes the only team with a sub-.500 record to enter the playoffs. On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles to finish out the Wild Card weekend. It was their week one meeting where Michael Vick began his ascent back into the mainstream (and which the Eagles won).

The Week in TicketCity Search – August 13th

August 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Happy Friday the 13th. Another football season it upon us, it appears. Not only have over half of last week’s countdown entries been completely replaced, many have been replaced with football teams of both national league and national collegiate athletic stripe. What has not changed, at all, is the top 3, which is something of a rarity week-to-week. The Boys are still on top, if only by a hair this time, followed by recent long running favorites the esteemed Mr. Bieber and Lady Gaga.

Rush manages to avoid the cut by jumping up a few spots to #4, but after that, it’s all “new” faces, some a bit newer than others. Drake returns to the countdown after an absence to round out the top 5. He’s followed by some powerhouse college football, as Buckeyes and Razorbacks fans are obviously ready for the season to begin.

That brings us to a countdown newcomer, and first “animated” countdown entrant, the Gorillaz. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, just look them up on Wikipedia. While I don’t recommend Wikipedia for tips on open heart surgery, it’s gangbusters at explaining how the front man for the band Blur hooked up with one of the creators of the comic Tank Girl (she has a tank) to create a “virtual band”. Then you can marvel at the fact the fictional biographies of each individual band member are larger than those of many prominent historical figures.

The Saints squeeze in between the other countdown newcomer, Maroon 5. The LA based rock band is releasing a new album, Hands All Over, next month, and touring to promote the release.

2010 NFL season is on the clock

April 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The start of the 2010 NFL Draft last night officially means that the 2010 NFL regular season is on the clock.  The NFL just released the 2010 NFL schedules this week.  And it’s less than 4 months until the kickoff of the season, so now is a great time to buy tickets for the 2010 NFL season.  Grab tickets for all of your favorite NFL teams, including the 2009 Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints.

The big stories that are generating a lot of early demand for 2010 NFL tickets:
1. The new Meadowlands Stadium will open in 2010.  Home openers for both the New York Giants and NY Jets are a hot ticket.

2. Everyone wants to see the New Orleans Saints.  The Saints were truly America’s Team last season and capped up a marvelous season by winning the Super Bowl in Miami.  That demand for Saints tickets has carried over into 2010, both at home in the Superdome and on the road.  The Saints take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Halloween, which is one of the hottest tickets early in the year.

3. America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys, are a top draw wherever they play.  The Cowboys are always a big ticket and this year is no exception.  Away games against the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans are both receiving a lot of demand.  Their home game against Saints on Thanksgiving is the biggest game on the home schedule.

4. Donovan McNabb returns to Philadelphia.  McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins this off-season.  McNabb and his Skins play at the Eagles on Sunday, October 3rd.  Lots of Philly fans want to be at the Linc to see McNabb come home.

To buy NFL tickets for these teams or any other NFL team, please call 1-800-880-8886 or visit our NFL page at TicketCity.com.  To keep up with the latest moves your team makes, here is a link to an NFL Draft feature from our partners at Sports Illustrated.

The Week in TicketCity Search – January 22nd

January 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment

As the conference championships are this weekend, not surprisingly the NFL made a stronger play for the top this week, moving into the top 5 but only barely. Lady Gaga remains on top, while Mr. Bieber slips a bit to make room for something I’ve yet to talk about despite its being on the countdown for a 3rd week now. That would be the large international snow and ice related competition occurring in the 3rd largest city in Canada. You know, the city where Mulder and Scully spent many seasons pretending it was every place in America.

Taylor Swift tumbles a bit from the top five, where she ends up next to fellow country star and list newcomer Jason Aldean. Jason has been touring in support of his Wide Open album, which was released in April 2009. He will be appearing in the list’s #6 entry, The Houston Rodeo, as will the esteemed Mr. Bieber. Houston Rodeo shows in general are very hot and March isn’t that far off.

Finally another newcomer and a list rarity, comedian Chelsea Handler appears at #10. Chelsea isn’t the rarity, just comedians in general, who don’t usually show up here. While she isn’t showing up at the Houston Rodeo, she is on tour nationwide through at least May.

The Week in TicketCity Search – January 15th

The harder it is to see the trophy,
the more valuable it is. Right?

With the bowl season over and the NFL playoffs still in early stages, this week concerts once again floated to the top. Lead by Lady Gaga, whose Monster Ball Tour will mean she is a fixture of the list for months to come, concerts dominate the top 3. Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, also fixtures on the list, show no signs of slowing as they both climb significantly this week. The distinguished Mr. Bieber, whose meteoric rise to fame has yet to cool down, takes the #2 spot. As mentioned earlier this week, it was announced he will be closing out the Houston Rodeo. It has been explained to me that this is a big deal. I smiled and nodded.

Carrie Underwood returns this week, having released her latest album, Play On, in November. The former American Idol’s 2010 Tour is set to kick off in March. Though I don’t think her music will be blasting on SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! when the rather large, some might say ‘monstrous’, trucks of Monster Jam arrive at an arena near you this coming spring.

Finally the NFL does take a peek into the countdown, as Wild Card winners the Cowboys and the Saints show up in the bottom 5 in advance of their Divisional championship games this weekend. The big game itself appears at #10.
