It’s no secret that the New York/Boston rivalry is among the, if not the single most competitive rivalry between cities in professional sports. With their respective teams consistently battling for division titles and matching up in high profile playoff games, some might say that these two cities truly define what it is to be a rivalry in American sport.

With the Knicks/Celtics first round playoff series in the books, the Boston Bruins look to avenge the loss of their basketball brothers and defend the TD Garden. This second round Stanley Cup Playoffs series currently carries a series average ticket price of $407 dollars, a 24% premium to the series average of the New York/Boston NBA matchup. Knicks/Celtics ticket prices were largely depressed by the $205 average for Celtics tickets in Boston, as the prices at Madison Square Garden average check in at a whopping $518 dollars, leading to a series average of $329.

Although prices for New York Rangers tickets at MSG are still slightly more expensive than those at TD in the Bruins/Rangers matchup, the Ranger home games are a bit less expensive than the Knicks home games, while Bruins tickets at TD carry a significant premium to those of the Celtics. This results in a higher series average price of $407 dollars for the NHL matchup. Tickets at MSG for this Eastern Conference Semis matchup check in at an average of $433, which is just a 12% premium to the average TD Garden price of $388.

Knicks – Celtics:

• Series Avg: $329
• @ MSG: $518 (+153% above TD Garden Prices)
• @ TD: $205

Bruins – Rangers: 

• Series Avg: $407
• @ MSG: $433 (+12% above TD Garden Prices)
• @ TD: $388

When it comes to baseball however, that is one sport where fans in Beantown pay a premium over those in the Big Apple. Fans are well aware of the trouble that the Yankees have had selling out the new Yankee Stadium, and while much has been made of the Red Sox sellout streak coming to end, fact is that the 37,400 capacity of Fenway park makes Red Sox tickets quite a bit more scarce than the 50,000+ capacity of the Stadium. The Yankees/Red Sox season series average ticket price of $178 dollars comes about by way of a $144 dollar average price for Yankees tickets in the Bronx, and a $209 dollar average price for those at Fenway. The Yankees and Red Sox will kick off a three game set in two weeks, on the final day of May.

Yankees – Red Sox

• Season Avg: : $178
• @ Yankee Stadium: $144
• @ Fenway Park:  $209 (+45% above Yankee Stadium prices)

While Rangers/Bruins is the most expensive of the three matchups, with prices 28% above those of Knicks/Celtics, and 129% above Yankees/Red Sox, there is still one New York/Boston matchup that could dwarf all of them. That matchup would of course be a third meeting of the Giants and Patriots in the Super Bowl, with this year’s Super Bowl in New York a home game for the Giants if they are to make it.

It’s already been something of a turbulent year for Lil Wayne. The Young Money boss was reported to have been on the verge of death after suffering a seizure on the set of a Nicki Minaj video. But immediately after being released from a six-day stint at the Cedars-Sinai hospital, the 30-year-old proved that rumours of his demise were greatly exaggerated by announcing that Lil Wayne tickets for another America’s Most Wanted tour were to go on sale.

Supported by T.I., French Montana and 2 Chainz, the two-month tour will begin at Birmingham’s Oak Mountain Amphitheatre on July 9 and conclude at Irvine’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on September 1 with a get-in price of $66 and an average price of $261 on TiqIQ for the latter, taking in the likes of Virginia Beach’s Farm Bureau Live on July 28 ($48/$203), Cuyahoga Falls’ Blossom Music Center on August 7 ($53/$236) and Oklahoma City’s Chesapeake Energy Arena on August 21 ($93/$276) along the way.

Availability is limited for the gigs at Maryland Heights’ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on August 11 ($49/$76) and Noblesville’s Klipsch Music Center on August 13 ($138/$138). But with an overall average price of $203, there are hundreds of Lil Wayne tickets waiting to be snapped up for most other dates with the July 13 gig at Tampa’s Live Nation Amphitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds the lowest get-in price at $41 and the July 31 concert at Hartford’s Comcast Theatre the cheapest average price at $64 (get-in price $42).

The controversial MC, who was recently dropped by Pepsi as the face of Mountain Dew following an offensive reference to civil rights Emmett Till in Future’s “Karate Chop,” will then visit the likes of Dublin’s The 02, Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome alongside Mac Miller after originally postponing his European tour to focus on the release of I Am Not A Human Being II.

His tenth studio album, which sold over 200,000 copies in its first week to debut at No.2 on the Billboard charts earlier this year, will no doubt feature heavily on the tour’s set-list with US Top 40 hits “My Homies Still,” “No Worries” and “Love Me” all likely staples.

But having recently surpassed Elvis Presley as the male artist with the most entries on the US Hot 100, the rapper isn’t exactly short of options elsewhere. Indeed, his last major tour, 2011’s I Am Music II, regularly featured a mammoth 35 tracks, covering everything from his four Tha Carter volumes to his rock music debut Rebirth including his breakthrough hit, “Go DJ” and an acoustic take on his only solo chart-topper, “Lollipop.”

While fans with Lil Wayne tickets should also expect to hear several solo versions of his many collaborations too, with the likes of Drake’s “Miss Me,” Gucci Mane’s “Wasted,” Birdman’s “Money To Blow” and Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now” all given an outing last time around.

The post Lil Wayne Heads Back Out Onto Road For America’s Most Wanted Festival appeared first on TiqIQ Blog Your Live Event Connection.

With over 300,000 Electric Daisy Carnival tickets sold for last year’s event, the largest Electronic Dance Music festival in North America is expected to surpass that tally in 2013 when it arrives at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the weekend of June 21-23.

Reflecting the scene’s huge rise in popularity, the 17th annual celebration of dance music will also take in London for the first time ever alongside stops at New York, Chicago, Puerto Rico and Orlando. But it’s the Nevada leg which remains the biggest, with hundreds of DJs, producers and vocalists confirmed to perform across the seven stages.

Availability for Electric Daisy Carnival tickets is therefore inevitably limited. But there are still around 50 three-day passes waiting to be purchased, with prices ranging from $275-$722. Meanwhile, there are similar numbers for single day tickets with a get-in price of $450 and an average price of $712 for the opening June 21 date, $1080/$1194 for June 22 and $150/$933 for the closing June 23 date.

EDM fans lucky enough to get their hands on Electric Daisy Carnival tickets can look forward to seeing everyone from Dutchman DJ Afrojack to Canadian duo Zed’s Dead with Armin Van Buuren, Skirllex, Calvin Harris, Avicii and Tiesto confirmed as the headliners.

Ferry Corsten, Kaskade and Benny Benassi are just some of the other superstar DJs scheduled to appear alongside the likes of dance veterans Carl Cox, Sasha and Pete Tong, hotly-tipped talents Nicky Romero, Porter Robinson and Nervo and key figures from the worlds of drum n’bass (Camo & Krooked), trance (Above & Beyond), happy hardcore (Darren Styles), dubstep (Kill The Noise) dancehall (Major Lazer) and house (Tiga) just to name a few.

Meanwhile, other notable performers include UK chart-toppers DJ Fresh, Bingo Players, Fedde Le Grand and Eric Prydz, the man responsible for the Harlem Shake, Baauer and one third of supergroup Swedish House Mafia, Steven Angello, while both La Roux and Empire Of The Sun will return to the stage after lengthy absences.

After parting company with her backing band, The Scene, one of the Disney Channel’s biggest stars will take to the global stage on her own for the first time later this year with the release of Selena Gomez tickets for a 58-date world tour.

The Wizards Of Waverly Place star, who has spent the last two years focusing on her film career with roles in Monte Carlo, Hotel Transylvania and Spring Breakers, will kick off the Stars Dance Tour in support of her upcoming fourth studio album with eight dates in Canada, starting at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on August 14.

There are Selena Gomez tickets available for five of these shows including Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome on August 16 with a get-in price of $73 and an average price of $179, Edmonton’s Rexall Place on August 17 ($60/$133), Saskatoon’s Credit Union Centre on August 18 ($122/$251), Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place on August 22 ($67/$192) and Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on August 24 ($74/$186).

Following 17 dates across Europe, where she will play the likes of London’s Hammersmith Apollo, Amsterdam’s Heineken Music Hall and Kiev’s Palace of Sport, the 20-year-old will then return to North America for a further 33 gigs, beginning at Fairfax’s Patriot Center on October 10 ($60/$165) and concluding at St. Louis’ Chaifetz Arena on November 27.

With an overall average price of $203, there are thousands of Selena Gomez tickets still waiting to be snapped up with the October 18 date at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center (average price $192) and Oct 27 concert at Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena (average price $265) currently the lowest get-in price at $41 and the November 1 gig at San Antonio’s AT&T Center the cheapest average price at $140 (get-in price $69).

Gomez recently revealed to Ryan Seacrest that she wants the tour to follow in the footsteps of her heroes Britney Spears and Janet Jackson by focusing more on the dancing and performing than any elaborate staging. While with her as-yet-untitled new LP due out later this year, expect to hear plenty of new material from the all-round entertainer, including the single she performed at the MTV Movie Awards, “Come & Get It.”

But alongside all the hits from 2009’s Kiss & Tell (“Falling Down,” “Naturally”) 2010’s A Year Without Rain (“Round & Round,” the title track) and 2011’s When The Sun Goes Down (“Who Says,” “Love You Like A Love Song”), there are bound to be a few surprises too. Her last We Own The Night tour not only featured cover versions of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass,” Alexandra Stan’s “Mr Saxobeat” and Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” but also a medley of her favourite Britney songs and “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know,” the theme tune to her first leading film role, A Cinderella Story.

From boyband teen idols to post-grunge chart-toppers to modern Motown legends, some of the biggest music acts of the 90s are to jump on the nostalgia bandwagon later this year with a series of collaborative tours designed to relive the decade they ruled the world.

Having already hooked up with Backstreet Boys on a joint album and tour last year, New Kids On The Block have joined forces with another late 90s vocal harmony group, 98°, and Billboard’s fourth most successful act of the 90s, Boyz II Men, for The Package Tour. With an overall average price of $197, there are thousands of The Package Tour tickets waiting to be snapped up, with the June 30 date at Saint Louis’ Scottrade Center the lowest get-in price at just $15 (average $142) and the August 2 gig at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center the cheapest average price at $124 (get-in $51).

Two juggernauts of the alt-rock scene, Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls, will also head out on the road together for a 32-date summer tour to promote their respective comeback albums, North and Magnetic. Alongside a brief trip to Canada at Toronto’s Molson Amphitheatre on June 27 ($62/$170), the bands will also take in the likes of Clarkston’s DTE Energy Music Theatre on July 6 ($47/$78) and Dallas’ Gexa Energy Pavilion on July 31 ($49/$211) before finishing up at Mansfield’s Comcast Center on August 18 ($57/$175). The lowest get-in price for Matchbox Twenty & Goo Goo Dolls tickets is $38 (average $131) for the August 8 show at Virginia Beach’s Farm Bureau Live with the cheapest average price $67 (get-in $50) for the July 9 concert at Maryland Heights’ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.

The Mark McGrath & Friends Cruise might have been cancelled but Smash Mouth, Gin Blossoms and Vertical Horizon will still team up with Sugar Ray for the Under The Sun tour, with tickets for the shows at Saratoga’s Mountain Winery on July 11 ($203/$203), Clarkston’s DTE Energy Music Theatre on July 21 ($105/$166), the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom on August 1 ($101/$101) and the North Charleston Coliseum on August 9 ($81/$240) still available with an average price of $170.

After paying a comical tribute to the Mayan prophecy with last year’s Last Summer On Earth tour, Barenaked Ladies have recruited another array of similar quirky indie-rock outfits for their follow-up tour, with Ben Folds Five and Guster joining comedian Boothby Graffoe for a series of shows across June and July. With an average price of $188, there are hundreds of Barenaked Ladies tickets remaining with the June 22 performance at the Santa Barbara Bowl the lowest get-in price at $59 (average $128) and the July 25 gig at Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Uptown Amphitheatre the cheapest average price at $77 (get-in $65).

Finally, after a successful first showing last year, the Summerland tour looks like it could become an annual event with the news that Everclear, Live, Filter and Sponge are to hit more than 30 U.S. cities together this summer, with Summerland tickets currently priced at an overall average of $154. Availability is much more limited here with only a handful of Summerland tickets remaining for nine shows, with the June 21 date at Columbus’ Lifestyles Communities Pavilion both the lowest get-in and average price at $51 and $63 respectively.

With the promise of ‘so much metal riffage that you could build your own cruise ship,’ one of the metalcore scene’s biggest acts are to head back onto the North American road with the release of Killswitch Engage tickets for a summer tour.

The Massachusetts outfit, who recently scored a second consecutive US Top 10 album with Disarm The Descent, will take in 31 different North American venues, starting at Oklahoma’s Diamond Ballroom on May 30 and finishing up at Joliet’s Mojoes on July 8.

Alongside performances at Syracuse’s F Shed At The Market on June 7, San Francisco’s Regency Grand on June 25 and Omaha’s Sokol Auditorium on July 2, the band will also appear at Quebec’s D-Tox Rockfest on June 14, before heading out to Japan for the Fuji Rock Festival and then Europe for sets at the Netherlands’ Dynamo, Sweden’s Getaway Rock and Germany’s ELB Riot.

Killswitch Engage tickets are currently only available for the June 1 gig at Houston’s House Of Blues with both a get-in and average price of $105 but keep checking back for updates on how to buy tickets for the rest of the tour.

Having recently reunited with original frontman Jesse Leach, who left the band following 2002’s Alive Or Just Breathing, expect to hear the majority of their new sixth studio LP, including critically-acclaimed lead single “In Due Time.”

But alongside support slots from fellow metalheads As I Lay Dying, Miss May I and Affiance, fans with Killswitch Engage tickets should also expect a ‘great mix of songs from every era,’ with their current European tour featuring material from 2000’s self-titled debut (“Temple From The Within,” “Vide Infra”), 2004’s commercial break-through The End Of Heartache (“A Bid Farewell,” “Rose Of Sharyn”) and 2006’s As Daylight Dies (“The Arms Of Sorrow,” “This Is Absolution”).

Co-headlined by two of the biggest chart acts of the last decade, Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson, there have been more Honda Civic Tour tickets released in 2013 than at any other point in its twelve-year history.

Previously a mainstay of more alt-rock bands such as Incubus and Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and Blink 182 and Good Charlotte and New Found Glory, the annual event has gone all pop this year with The Voice contestants Rozzi Crane, Tony Lucca and PJ Morton also joining the Billboard chart-toppers over 31 dates across North America.

Kicking off on August 1 at Maryland Heights’ Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, the tour will then take in the likes of Virginia Beach’s Farm Bureau Live on September 8 ($50/$170), The Nikon theater at Jones Beach on August 11 ($130/$361) and Spring’s The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on September 19 ($56/$170) among others, before concluding at Chula Vista’s Sleep Train Amphitheatre on October 5 ($111/$254).

With an overall average price of $227, there are thousands of Honda Civic Tour tickets still available with the August 31 show at Hartford’s Comcast Theatre both the lowest get-in and average price at $47 and $79 respectively. And with both artists enjoying the most successful period of their ten-year careers, there couldn’t be a better time to catch them live.

Maroon 5 have only just completed their 68-date biggest-ever world tour following the huge success of fourth studio album, Overexposed, with their three US number ones, “Makes Me Wonder,” “One More Night” and “Moves Like Jagger” taking centre stage. But the Los Angeles funk-pop outfit also rattled through their hit-packed back catalogue with performances of “This Love,” “Misery” and “She Will Be Loved” alongside a rendition of Adam Levine’s collaboration with Gym Class Heroes, “Stereo Hearts.”

While no stranger to the concept of joint tours, having previously taken to the stage alongside The Fray, Clay Aiken and Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson has just picked up a third Grammy Award for her 2012 LP, Stronger. So those with Honda Civic Tour tickets should expect an equally celebratory set from the American Idol winner including her No.1 singles “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” and anthemic hits “Since U Been Gone,” “Miss Independent” and “Because Of You.”
