The newest Milwaukee Buck is Jerry Stackhouse. He’s 35, he’s been on some great teams, and we needed someone to help our struggling Milwaukee Bucks team. He put in 17 minutes, and scored three points. Ticket King Milwaukee is a huge supporter of our NBA team.
Two of the Ticket King staff went to the game last night, and they had a great time. The halftime event included two guys who did some crazy acrobatics at mid court in the Bradley Center. Next up for the Bucks is a road game at Toronto.
It’s that time of year again! American Idol is starting up again! Each week viewer’s homes are filled with the sounds of some of the best and worst upcoming new artists. Thinking about past winners each year I found myself coming across a finalist who I thought was pretty good! He was the fourth place finalist in the 5th season of American Idol, Chris Daughtry!
Daughtry Fans were bummed that he didn’t make it any farther than 4th place in the competition, but I didn’t get too bent out of shape by the results. Being an avid watcher of the show, it seems to me that the people, who actually end up winning the show, don’t end up being as successful as the other contestants. That being said, years later, Chris Daughtry is still continuing to tour his new music and it looks like he will be making a stop in Milwaukee to promote his most recent CD “Leave This Town!“. Daughtry will be performing at the U.S. Cellular Arena at 7:30 p.m. on April 7. The opening acts are going to be Lifehouse and Cavo. I’ve never heard of Cavo but I’ve always been a fan of Lifehouse! Tickets go on sale this Saturday, Jan 23rd at 10am. Should be a great show!
I flew into Minneapolis last Sunday from Milwaukee to help out The Ticket King office in Minneapolis just in time to see the Packers play the Arizona Cardinals. I was hoping that the packers would win and the cowboys would lose so that the packers would play the Vikings again, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The Packer’s game was so close! I couldn’t believe my eyes when it came down to one tiny mistake in overtime. Just like that it was all over for the packers. After I picked myself up from the heartbreak of that last play I decided that I needed to focus on the company and help sell Vikings playoff tickets.
I had a great time in the office getting to know the other branch of the company and working with Minnesota fans all week! There were so many people who wanted to come see the Vikings play the cowboys for the first time this season in the dome! The Ticket King office in Minneapolis is only two blocks away from the Metrodome, so by the end of the week I was definitely jealous of all of the fans who would be going to the playoff game Sunday! After all of the customers picked up their tickets my boss decided to surprise a few of us with 40 yard line tickets, just twelve rows up behind the Vikings bench. I was beyond exciting! My first game at the dome with such great seats! Although I would have loved it to be the Packers Vs the Vikings, it still was a great game. Always being a Packer fan, the most exciting part of being there was seeing Brett Favre in action up close for the first time!!
I called our Ticket King Green Bay office the other day. Our office manager was shoveling the sidewalks, and his co-worker was washing the windows. With the Green Bay Packers wild card game ending in a loss, the office is quiet.
The Ticket King Milwaukee office has a slow period too, but it’s really just about six weeks. From the day after the Super Bowl, to the end of March, it’s time to catch up on things. By April, we’re selling Milwaukee Brewers opening day tickets for Miller Park. Summerfest shows are being announced, and if we had our wishes come true, the Milwaukee Bucks would be well above the .500 mark. I’ll take two out of three.
So the guys up in Packers country will have a clean office, take some time off to be with family, and then start selling the Packers tickets in June. Since their busy season runs throughout the summer, they try to get vacations in during late winter. I hope that they go someplace warm. Sometimes they hit the road during the Packers road games. It’s good to sneak away from it all and head to the north woods of Wisconsin, or west to Madison.
I know you’re still bummed out by the fact that the Packers did not make it past the Wildcard round of the playoffs and the fact that you won’t be buying your Packers playoff tickets. Why not console yourself with some Monster Jam Trucks tickets? Nothing helps me get over a bitter Packers loss more than watching giant trucks desecrate other trucks in a pile of mud. Tickets are still available for the Monster Jam Trucks at the Bradley Center this weekend, January 14th & 15th.
If you’re still not feeling better by next week, I suggest you check out the Milwaukee Bucks game at the Bradley Center on Wednesday the 20th. These guys really live up to their motto, Work Hard, Play Hard. Courtside seats are still available for this game.
Yes, you heard or read correctly. Michael Redd is once again out for the season. Still, the Bucks have Brandon Jennings, and that’s a player who’s drawing the crowds right now. If you want to sit in the lower or upper level, behind the bench, or just somewhere in the Bradley Center, give us a call. (800)334-5434
