Ticket King Announces St. Paul Office Location

My buddy was downtown Saint Paul yesterday and noticed that Ticket King is going to have a location right across the street from the Xcel Energy Center. It is a few doors down from the Eagle Street Grille which is on the corner of 7th. and Kellogg. They must have high hopes for the walk up traffic because I am sure that the rent can't be cheap in such a prime location.

Billy Joel is coming to the Twin Cities

As a huge music fan, I have good news for those who don't already know. Billy Joel Is coming to St. Paul on 5/9/2007 for one show at the Xcel Energy Center. He was last here a few years ago and he actually did two shows. Not only is he doing just one show, he has dropped his highest ticket price from $250 down to $100. All things considered, that isn't so bad. It looks like there was recently some sort of presale for the tickets on Ticketmaster. The online brokers currently have excellent seats starting at $149/ticket. If my memory serves me correctly, that same type of seat for the last two shows sold for much higher. It officially goes on sale to the general public this Saturday. I am assuming that the show will sell out instantly.

If you are interested in catching legendary rock and roll man Billy Joel in concert at the Xcel Energy Center, it might not be a bad idea to snap up some after market seats now. As always, I found the best prices on Ticket King - they clearly own the Twin Cities market and since they are local, they must have more sources than the other national guys. In my mind, they were a little too proud of their main floor seats ($800+ per seat!). I don't think that Billy Joel tickets can still fetch the big dollars. Who knows, it is only money. CAN'T GO WRONG WITH BILLY JOEL! Now, I will be singing "Piano Man" all day!
