Tickets for several upcoming concerts from Taylor Swift and Phish, as well as tickets for the World Series, are on sale throughout the weekend ending October 26 as compiled by TicketNews.
Kicking off the weekend’s onsales are tickets for several upcoming concerts from teen superstar Taylor Swift. Crossing over from the country charts to mainstream pop radio play while amassing both critical acclaim and huge record sales, her current concert tour has been a hot ticket. Tickets for Swift’s concerts in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Dallas are among today’s onsales.
Cult favorites Phish have tickets on sale both today and tomorrow for several of their upcoming concerts. The rockers have a limited set of tour stops on their upcoming stretch of concerts, and with their rabid fan base, the shows are guaranteed to be high sellers. Among the tour stops are Cincinnati, Portland, Detroit, and three shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
With the collapse of her joint tour with Kanye West, musical phenomenon Lady GaGa recently announced that she would be striking out on tour on her own. With a smash debut album and scores of fans, her first U.S. tour should be a big seller. While she will be playing smaller venues than she was originally set to play on her tour with Kanye, the smaller theaters will allow for more opportunities for sell outs. Among the cities included on in the weekend onsales are Los Angeles, Detroit, San Francisco, and Boston. Music legends Elton John and Billy Joel have additional dates for their joint tour among Saturday’s onsales. Cities on sale include Oklahoma City and Little Rock.
The Black Eyed Peas, who had two of the summer’s hottest songs, have a concert in Las Vegas among Saturday’s onsales, while folk rockers Dave Matthews Band (a perennial favorite among the college crowd) have tickets for their upcoming concert in Las Vegas on sale Saturday as well.
Rounding out the weekend’s musical onsales are tickets to see rockers Weezer in Toronto and Widespread Panic in Atlanta. Tickets for both concerts are among the Saturday onsales. Hot comic ventriloquist Jeff Dunham has several upcoming performances on sale throughout the weekend. The recent recipient of a new television show on Comedy Central, Dunham has carved a strong niche amongst the competitive world of comedy. His tour dates on sale throughout the weekend include stops in Toronto and Pittsburgh.
Finally, with one team set for the upcoming MLB World Series, tickets for the Philadelphia Phillies’ home games will be on sale this weekend.
“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.
