The weekly Hot Tickets have been determined and here is the top 5 list:
Walking With Dinosaurs was a bit of a suprise for me but with our strong NY Tri State Area presence and the Dinosaurs coming to the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ… I guess it shouldn’t come as a shock! In fact, I think I might want to go see them… looks pretty cool!
Welcome back to Ticket Bulletin for another review of the Hot Tickets at Select A Ticket last week.
From August 11 - 17, the following five events were the most popular items on www.SelectATicket.com.
And there you have it, the top five events on Select A Ticket last week. Never a suprise to see Broadway tickets so well represented and of course NY Yankee tickets are always popular but who would’ve thought the 2009 MLB All Star Game would be so popular so early? You never know what’s going to make the list, so come back next Monday and see what events top all the others!
Welcome back for another weekly installment of Hot Tickets from Select A Ticket.
In the past week, these five items were the most popular events on www.SelectATicket.com.

Come back next week to see what tops the list for the next 7 days. My guess is we’ll see some changes and maybe some different Broadway shows making the list along with some concerts or sporting events. Only way to find out is come back next Monday and see!
Last week saw a change in the Top 5 events as the upcoming MLB All Star Game at Yankee Stadium saw a surge in activity.

Throughout the week of June 30th Joan Rivers will guest host a show on Sirius Radio entitled “Can We Talk… About Broadway.” The show will be an hour at noon ET, with an encore broadcast at 6 pm ET. It will run from Monday through Friday, July 4th. The entire show will also be rerun on Sunday, July 6th at 9 am and 9 pm.
The show will feature Rivers’ outrageous sense of humor and love for Broadway. She will introduce show tunes, play songs, and offer special commentary on her favorite Broadway shows. She will also feature rarely heard excerpts from the “Ed Sullivan Show” from the 60’s.
This marks a great opportunity for Broadway fans to hear entertaining discussion about their favorite topic. It’s also a great chance for those who haven’t been exposed to Broadway and all of its glory to become familiar with the world of theater. Anything that promotes this often-overlooked art form is a good thing for the theater. Hopefully it will inspire more people to purchase Broadway tickets.
Sirius Radio delivers more than 130 channels. All broadcasting is commercial free, in satellite radio. There are 69 music channels. There are 65 channels with sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic, weather and data. It’s the future of radio. It’s nice to see Broadway getting it’s due with such a great media form.
Last week brought a lot of excitement and activity to www.SelectATicket.com.
The most popular event last week was The Lion King on Broadway. SelectATicket has a great selection of seats for most Lion King performances in New York and all at competitive prices.
The next event on the list of the hottest tickets is South Pacific tickets. Once again, SelectATicket proves itself as a popular web site for Broadway tickets.
Not to be outdone, the long-running Phantom of the Opera comes in third on the list this past week. Despite being on Broadway for several years, this timeless classic still is a hot ticket.
Yet another Broadway musical makes the list as Jersey Boys tickets were a hot commodity on www.SelectATicket.com last week. The story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons still packs the crowds and Select A Ticket is happy to help you acquire these hard to find tickets.
Last but certainly not least, a lot of the Select A Ticket faithful visitors are die-hard New York sports fans so it comes as no surprise to see that the Fourth of July Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Tickets at Yankee Stadium were among the top 5 Hot Tickets from Select A Ticket last week. Everybody loves a rivalry and there is nothing like the bad blood between the Yankees and Red Sox to provide their own fireworks on the Fourth of July!
Be sure to come back next Monday to see which events top this week’s list of Hot Tickets from Select A Ticket.
Pop star and Broadway star, Clay Aiken is going to be a father. The mother of the child is his best friend and producer, Jaymes Foster. The 50-year-old woman was artificially inseminated.
A report at TMZ.com suggest that he’ll be very active in the child’s life. Foster was divorced several years ago. Since that time, she and Aiken have become extremely close. He lives in her home whenever he’s in Los Angeles.
Fans of the singer can see him perform by buying Broadway tickets for the New York production of Spamalot. He’s been a part of the production since January of this year, playing the part of Sir Robin.
He’s the third most successful contestant from American Idol, right behind Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. He’s the most successful male contestant. And he’s the most successful contestant to win second place.
I was glad to see Aiken finding a place on the stage in New York. Although I think he’s got a great voice, he doesn’t have the typical persona of a pop star. Judging by a performance I saw of his on “Scrubs,” I think he’s got talent as a character actor. I see a bright future for him acting and singing, and there’s no better place for that than Broadway.
Broadway touring groups have been concerned about their effect on the environment. They emit thousands of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through the large trucks that transport all of the stage equipment from one city to the next.
Unfortunately, there aren’t alternative technologies available that will allow these touring companies to still get where they need to go, without contributing greatly to the environmental problem. So what do they do to “go green?”
The solution is to fund short- and long-term projects that offset the impact of the emissions. This is accomplished through NativeEnergy, inc., one of the leaders in high quality carbon offsets. These offsets will be created by new wind turbines, methane digesters on American family farms, and landfill gas projects.
When you consider that the Broadway League brings Broadway to 30 million people in New York and more than 240 cities across North America, the effect on the environment from their touring can be very large. Being ever mindful of the needs of the environment, the industry has responded appropriately to help offset their energy usage.
I think that this action represents the future of modern environmentalism. It doesn’t require huge sacrifices. We can still enjoy touring groups for our entertainment. But these groups, which generate large amounts of capital in their industry, have to take appropriate actions to make up for their large carbon footprint. You can continue to buy tickets to Broadway shows with a clean conscience.
You don’t have to be in New York to buy Broadway tickets to “Wicked.” A current tour of North America has been an amazing success. So much so that a second tour has been announced.
The simple fact is that there’s been an overwhelming demand for tickets. To call it a smash hit would be an understatement. It’s broken house records in every single city that it’s played. Producers felt that even with a second tour, the show would continue to break records.
The tour will start in Fort Myers, Fl. It will then go to Birmingham, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Indianapolis, Memphis, with additional cities to be announced.
“Wicked” opened on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at the Apollo Victoria Theater in London. Various language versions have been added throughout the world.
It’s based on a novel by Gregory Maguire. It has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. The original cast recording has been one of the fastest selling Broadway recordings, having gone platinum.
The play tells the store about two girls who come to Oz. it tells the story of how they become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.
Quite simply, it’s considered to be one of the greatest successes in Broadway history. It has a story that appeals to young and old. Everyone wants to see it, and you may be able to see it in your hometown soon.
For the timespan from May 5 through May 12, the following events were the most popular on www.SelectATicket.com
And there you have it for this past week. Not surprising that there are three Broadway shows as last week’s weather in New York was perfect for a night out on the town.
