Tickets for several upcoming concerts from Taylor Swift as well as tickets for Lady GaGa’s upcoming national tour are on sale throughout the weekend ending November 2 as compiled by TicketNews.
Following last weekend’s run of sold out shows, teen superstar Taylor Swift again has tour dates for her ongoing national tour among the weekend onsales. Considering her concerts last weekend sold out in less than 15 minutes, there is a strong chance that this batch of concerts will go just as quickly. Among the cities on sale are shows in Los Angeles, Orlando, Denver, and Cincinnati.
But Swift isn’t the only reigning star with a high profile concert tour among the weekend’s onsales. The always colorful Lady GaGa has a set of shows on her upcoming solo tour on sale throughout the weekend. One of the most popular artists of the year, her highly anticipated first tour is likely to sell strong. Dates in Chicago, San Francisco, and Atlanta are on sale this weekend.
Saturday morning offers Bon Jovi fans to snag tickets to the band’s 2010 concert at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. The concert from the Jersey natives will represent the inaugural event for the Meadowlands, as well as be part of Bon Jovi’s world concert tour. Another set of rock superstars have concerts on sale this weekend. U2 has multiple concert dates on their current concert tour among the Monday onsales. Among the stops are Edmonton, Oakland, and Toronto.
In other U2 related news, The Edge and Bono collaborated to compose the music for Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark which opens on Broadway in 2010. The musical has tickets for its opening on sale Saturday morning. The show has a reported price tag upwards of $45 million, and has had a rough start and has been plagued by financial troubles. Despite these set-backs, it is highly anticipated, as it marks The Edge and Bono’s first foray into musical theatre, as well as boasting the talents of Lion King director Julie Taymor.
Country stars Martina McBride and Trace Adkins have a joint concert tour with tickets on sale the morning. Among the markets included are Fort Wayne, IN, Greensboro, NC, and Birmingham. British rockers Arctic Monkey have tickets for their show in New York City on sale this morning as well.
Among the more high profile holiday concerts on sale this weekend are the Power 106 concert in Universal Studios, CA featuring 50 Cent, Pitbull, and T-Pain, and Los Angeles’s Jingle Ball featuring Taylor Swift, Fabolous, and The Ting Tings. Finally, Sting has a concert in New York City on sale Monday morning, while Andrea Bocelli has a performance in Fresno on sale the same day.
“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.
