Tickets for upcoming concerts from Bob Dylan as well as tickets for the 2009-2010 NBA season are on sale throughout the weekend ending October12 as compiled by TicketNews.
Starting off the weekend’s onsales are tickets for several upcoming concerts from music legend Bob Dylan. Among the markets with tickets on sale both Friday and Saturday morning are New York City and Boston. Dylan’s strong ties to New York City are likely to make those particular shows big sellers. Speaking of big sellers, teen heartthrobs the Jonas Brothers have a concert in New Orleans among the Saturday morning onsales. The brothers are not currently on tour, which makes the upcoming show a hot commodity. Seeing as the band has been selling out shows repeatedly for the last year, it is a safe bet that tickets to the New Orleans engagement will be just as hot.
In addition to concerts from both Bob Dylan and the Jonas Brothers, the weekend offers a handful of other high profile ticket buying opportunities. First up, rockers AC/DC have a concert in Dallas among the Saturday onsales. The band’s current tour has been selling fairly well, and with the show in a larger market, it should sell. Holiday favorites Trans-Siberian Orchestra have concerts in Memphis and Louisiana among the Saturday onsales as well. While the Louisiana venue isn’t a particularly large one, with the upcoming holiday season fast approaching, the concerts should still do strong business. This morning’s onsales offer tickets to an upcoming Chicago concert from country superstar Tim McGraw. Also on sale today are tickets to see popular children’s television program Yo Gabba Gabba’s upcoming tour stops in monster markets Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. The program is currently one of the highest rated children’s television shows and will be undoubtedly popular with families.
Rounding out the weekend onsales are several sports related events. The always popular WWE tour has stops in several cities, including Baltimore and Tampa, among the Saturday onsales. Continuing the lead-up to the 2009-10 NBA season, multiple teams have tickets on sale throughout the weekend. The Miami Heat, Washington Wizards, and Dallas Mavericks have tickets on sale this morning, while the Philadelphia 76ers have tickets among the Saturday onsales. Finally, tickets for the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl go on sale Monday morning. The annual NFL all-star game will be held in Miami this year.
“Onsales” is a ticketing industry term describing when tickets initially go on sale to the general public. Each week, tickets are released by promoters, venues and others to dozens of events, but the number of tickets available can vary significantly between locations.
