For the third week running, Madison Square Garden (MSG) once again took number one in TicketNews' exclusive venues rankings scoring an impressive 5.02 for the week ending Sunday, October 10.

MSG is of course home to the New York Rangers of the NHL, currently starting regular season play, and the New York Knicks of the NBA, still in preseason play. In music, MSG has a "who's who" of popular artists arriving in the coming months. In early November, Roger Waters takes the stage for the last of three scheduled dates at the venue, followed by Michael Buble later in the month. December sees performances by Rammstein, Usher and Phish, who have a three date appearance for the New Year's Eve holiday.

Classic rock icon Roger Waters has yet again expanded the scope of his North American tour of "The Wall Live" with four more concerts on the books for fall. A press statement from tour producer Live Nation credited the latest extension to "overwhelming demand for tickets," also adding these are the "final four" shows to be added in North America.

The addition of a September 24 show will now hold Waters in the Windy City of Chicago through four performances at the United Center. His run at Boston's TD Garden has been pushed out to three nights with a lately unveiled October 3 concert.

Roger Waters recently announced new dates for his North American tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd's The Wall, and now he is number one in TicketNews' Top Events Rankings for the week ending May 16. With a 13.19 power score, he has a big lead over Wicked (two, 4.83) and pop queen Lady Gaga (three, 2.48). Justin Bieber prove his popularity by taking number four (2.29) in these rankings. Among the concert events that dominated the overall top ten, were a few sports events including the New York Yankees slip in (five, 2.15) as do the NBA Eastern Conference Finals featuring the Orlando Magic (ten, 1.32). The musical Jersey Boys makes the overall rankings at number nine (1.61). James Taylor & Carole King are now on the road for the Troubador Reunion Tour, and they still make number seven (1.90). Tool follows them in number eight with a 1.82 power score.

May 4 was Judgment Day for Roger Waters fans who registered for a chance to participate in this week's ticket presales.

Presale eligibility was handled lottery style in each North American market on the rocker's upcoming The Wall Live 2010 tour. Registered fans were able to enter their name into the presale lotteries for up to five cities. Drawing confirmations were sent just after midnight on May 4, with some registered fans receiving consolatory e-mails while others were greeted with a more welcoming "Congratulations!"

The giant, inflated pig that floated away after Roger Waters's opening set at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA on April 27, was found a few miles away in La Quinta, CA, shredded and strewn over two residential properties.

The $10,000 award and four festival tickets for life the event’s organizers offered for the return of the pig will reportedly be shared by the two landowners.
