Concerts

If you are like me and you dread making small talk with your relatives over lukewarm turkey, fear not. The Tuesday and Wednesday before turkey day, you can de-stress by seeing Of Monsters and Men play at Terminal 5. For those of you not in the know, Of Monsters and Men are a six-piece band ... <a title="Thanksgiving in Iceland: Of Monsters and Men take over Terminal 5" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/thanksgiving-in-iceland-of-monsters-and-men-take-over-terminal-5/" aria-label="Read more about Thanksgiving in Iceland: Of Monsters and Men take over Terminal 5">Read more</a>

Its day 3 of the CMJ Music Marathon here in New York and members of team Tickpick are taking it to the streets.  It was a tough choice but we’re gonna have to skip The Walkmen show in favor of Neon Gold’s showcase at Santos Party House.  Strange Talk, Pacific Air and Capital Cities have been ... <a title="CMJ Music Marathon - Day 3" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/cmj-music-marathon-day-3/" aria-label="Read more about CMJ Music Marathon - Day 3">Read more</a>

Congratulations are in order for The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on landing the Rolling Stones for two dates this December.  This immaculate arena will play host to 19,000 fans each night on December 13th and 15th.  Tickets will cost between $100 and $800 on the primary market with presales starting at noon this ... <a title="The Rolling Stones @ The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/the-rolling-stones-prudential-center/" aria-label="Read more about The Rolling Stones @ The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ">Read more</a>

If you are an Electronic Dance Music enthusiast or the occasional EDM listener, you know of the massive following that the Swedish House Mafia carries with them, and if your not, we highly suggest you hop on the bandwagon and take a listen before it’s too late. The dynamic Trio consisting of Steve Angello, ... <a title="Swedish House Mafia to Break-up, Play in “One Last Tour”" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/swedish-house-mafia-break-up/" aria-label="Read more about Swedish House Mafia to Break-up, Play in “One Last Tour”">Read more</a>

To say Macklemore is an up and coming artist is almost a discredit to his decade long career, and yet, it’s really the best way to describe him. Just a few weeks ago, the names “Macklemore & Ryan Lewis” would have not been recognized by the average person outside of Seattle, WA. But, due ... <a title="Up and Coming: Macklemore" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/up-and-coming-macklemore/" aria-label="Read more about Up and Coming: Macklemore">Read more</a>

The show that the cast and crew of Saturday Night Live put on this past weekend was sub-par, to say the least (save one hilarious Bond girl skit). An awkward Daniel Craig flubbed up nearly all of the comedic timing, and the political comedy that usually makes SNL so great to watch during the election ... <a title="Muse Saves Studio 8H" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/muse-saves-studio-8h/" aria-label="Read more about Muse Saves Studio 8H">Read more</a>

70% of all tickets decrease in price over time. Anywhere else, these would be great odds, but when you are determined to see a show, not so much. If you expect ticket prices to drop and they suddenly increase, it can be very off-putting. This was and is the case for Jay-Z‘s performances at Barclays ... <a title="When Should I Buy Concert Tickets?" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/when-should-i-buy-concert-tickets/" aria-label="Read more about When Should I Buy Concert Tickets?">Read more</a>

(Note: the following post was, in fact, written by TickPick co-founder Brett Goldberg, and not myself. I merely wish I had gone to this concert.) Jay-Z has sold out more concerts than any other hip-hop artist in the world. There’s good reason for this: it revolves around his ability to control the crowd’s energy. ... <a title="Jay-Z Opens Barclays Center With a Sweet Set" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/jay-z-opens-barclays-center-with-a-sweet-set/" aria-label="Read more about Jay-Z Opens Barclays Center With a Sweet Set">Read more</a>

It should not be a surprise to learn that the members of Green Day, over the years, have struggled with substance abuse. Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer, was reportedly going cold turkey in the past few years. On the set of American Idiot, the Broadway musical based on the album of the same name, ... <a title="Wake Billie Joe Up When September Ends" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/wake-billie-joe-up-when-september-ends/" aria-label="Read more about Wake Billie Joe Up When September Ends">Read more</a>

In the spirit of Lady Gaga‘s upcoming tour, I was inspired to write a little bit about the superstar and her unique fanbase. The fans of Lady Gaga and other similar artists (Madonna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Rihanna - to name a few) are incredibly diverse, so it’s kind of hard to pinpoint just one ... <a title="The Culture of the Diva" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/the-culture-of-the-diva/" aria-label="Read more about The Culture of the Diva">Read more</a>

You thought you got rid of them in the early 00’s, but you can’t escape them. In the past year alone, the Jonas Brothers have announced a reunion, 98 Degrees are working on new material, and supergroup NKOTBSB continue to perform. Not only that, but new boybands like The Wanted and One Direction (speaking of, check ... <a title="One Direction & The Resurgence of the Boyband" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/one-direction-the-resurgence-of-the-boyband/" aria-label="Read more about One Direction & The Resurgence of the Boyband">Read more</a>
