Ticket Brokers Now Is The Time To Join FlipATicket.com



FlipATicket.com today announced that it is leading the charge of brokers who have united and said, “Enough is enough!”.  Over the course of the last several years, brokers have witnessed drastic changes the ticket industry has undergone; so drastic, in fact, that it is difficult to fully grasp.


If you were told five years ago that EI would be purchased by Ticketmaster, or that StubHub would be purchased by eBay, or that TN would morph into a gargantuan network of thousands of brokers, or that Ticket Technology would be bought by StubHub/eBay, or that LiveNation would buy every venue under the sun and ditch Ticketmaster for their own ticketing service, only to merge with Ticketmaster a few months later, would you have believed any of it?  Who could have imagined that all of those things would take place in five short years?

Perhaps a better question would be: How have these changes helped your business?  Let’s see...
  •  Fewer places to list your tickets.
  •  Little to no access to other brokers to work trades.
  • Fee after fee after fee after fee piled up on top of you.
  • Policy changes, sometimes daily.
And what is the result of these changes that we have all witnessed? You, the broker, are left holding the short end of the stick, working harder to earn less.  Your choice of places to buy, sell, and trade tickets has been boiled down to making a decision between the lesser of all that is evil.  That’s how you grow a business, right?  No, we didn’t think so either.

A number of months back, the folks behind BlueBucs.com sat down and started working on ideas of how to counteract the absurdity that has transpired in our industry, and to help brokers regain control over their business and costs.  They poured over so many ideas and options that it is impossible to enumerate, but their brainstorming team always came back to two primary “must do” points:
  •  Control costs for brokers and consumers.
  •  Keep it simple and effective, a la Google.

Two of the most talked about artists of 2011 have just been added as the 4th and 5th artists to the iTunes Festival line-up.

Modern soul doesn't get any better than this. Adele has a once-in-a-lifetime voice, with the songs to match. In 2009 she won a Grammy® Award for Best New Artist, and now she's back with a new album 21 - which has topped the iTunes album charts in no less than 16 countries this week. 2011 will be a huge year for Adele and she's certain to raise the roof of the Roundhouse on 7 July.

London's White Lies offer critically-acclaimed alternative rock that sits between Joy Division, Editors and Talking Heads. Second album Ritual was released in January 2011, and their iTunes Festival performance at the Roundhouse on 17 July offers a great chance to catch their big sound in a close and intimate setting.

Restoration of Phil Spector's Catalog Brings 4 New Collections

The 50th anniversary of the Philles Records label (1961-2011) has arrived. The long-range campaign promise announced in 2009 by Legacy Recordings and EMI Music Publishing, to dig deep into the rich catalog of Phil Spector's 'Wall Of Sound' on Philles, moves ahead with four newly-compiled albums.

Wall of Sound: The Very Best of Phil Spector 1961-1966 features songs that rang with Spectors signature studio approach that ruled the pop charts with singles from his own Philles label that were as ubiquitous as Motown's and rivaled the popularity of the Beatles. The Sound of Love: The Very Best of Darlene Love focuses on Spector use of Love's powerful, distinctive voice as lead singer on a number of tunes by such groups as Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans and the Crystals, as well as recording such songs as the hit "Today I Met The Boy I'm Gonna Marry." Da Doo Ron Ron: The Very Best of The Crystals features one of the defining girl groups of the early '60s. The Crystals were the link between the simpler doo-wop harmonies of the '50s and the sophisticated look and sound of pop divas like the Supremes. Be My Baby: The Very Best of The Ronettes presents the sweet and polished harmonies from the cat-eye makeup and beehive hairdos of The Ronettes, who added a tough, New York street flavor to the girl group model of the early '60s.

The quartet of titles will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting February 22nd.

Ticket Brokers There Is A New Way To FlipATicket



FlipATicket.com today announced that it is leading the charge of brokers who have united and said, “Enough is enough!”.  Over the course of the last several years, brokers have witnessed drastic changes the ticket industry has undergone; so drastic, in fact, that it is difficult to fully grasp.


If you were told five years ago that EI would be purchased by Ticketmaster, or that StubHub would be purchased by eBay, or that TN would morph into a gargantuan network of thousands of brokers, or that Ticket Technology would be bought by StubHub/eBay, or that LiveNation would buy every venue under the sun and ditch Ticketmaster for their own ticketing service, only to merge with Ticketmaster a few months later, would you have believed any of it?  Who could have imagined that all of those things would take place in five short years?

Perhaps a better question would be: How have these changes helped your business?  Let’s see...
  •  Fewer places to list your tickets.
  •  Little to no access to other brokers to work trades.
  • Fee after fee after fee after fee piled up on top of you.
  • Policy changes, sometimes daily.
And what is the result of these changes that we have all witnessed? You, the broker, are left holding the short end of the stick, working harder to earn less.  Your choice of places to buy, sell, and trade tickets has been boiled down to making a decision between the lesser of all that is evil.  That’s how you grow a business, right?  No, we didn’t think so either.

A number of months back, the folks behind BlueBucs.com sat down and started working on ideas of how to counteract the absurdity that has transpired in our industry, and to help brokers regain control over their business and costs.  They poured over so many ideas and options that it is impossible to enumerate, but their brainstorming team always came back to two primary “must do” points:
  •  Control costs for brokers and consumers.
  •  Keep it simple and effective, a la Google.

Jackson Browne 2011 Solo Acoustic Tour Dates

JACKSON BROWNE ANNOUNCES SECOND LEG OF HIS 2011 SOLO ACOUSTIC TOUR DATES IN CANADA AND U.S. MIDWEST TO BEGIN IN MARCH U.S. WEST COAST DATES ARE CURRENTLY ON SALE

Jackson Browne begins the second leg of his 2011 Solo Acoustic Tour with shows in Canada starting March 25 in Victoria, BC. The Canadian itinerary runs through April 18, and is followed by several Midwestern dates in the US.

Jackson Browne's 2011 solo acoustic tour begins its first leg next month in California. Playing guitar and piano, he will perform songs from his entire body of work, with varying set lists each night. One of the many guitars Jackson will be bringing on the road this time is the just-released Gibson Acoustic Jackson Browne Signature acoustic guitar. The handmade instrument, inspired by Gibson's legendary 1930s-era Roy Smeck model, is the first guitar to bear Jackson Browne's name.

The intimacy of Jackson's solo performances has been captured on two live albums, the GRAMMY®-nominated Jackson Browne-Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1 (2005), and Jackson Browne-Solo Acoustic, Vol. 2 (2008), both released on Inside Recordings.

And what is the result of these changes that we have all witnessed? You, the broker, are left holding the short end of the stick, working harder to earn less.  Your choice of places to buy, sell, and trade tickets has been boiled down to making a decision between the lesser of all that is evil.  That’s how you grow a business, right?  No, we didn’t think so either.

A number of months back, the folks behind BlueBucs.com sat down and started working on ideas of how to counteract the absurdity that has transpired in our industry, and to help brokers regain control over their business and costs.  They poured over so many ideas and options that it is impossible to enumerate, but their brainstorming team always came back to two primary “must do” points:
  •  Control costs for brokers and consumers.
  •  Keep it simple and effective, a la Google.

Linkin Park "A Thousand Suns," arena tour

Bennington said that the live mixes are just another way that Linkin Park can deepen its connection with its fans.

"Our music becomes the soundtrack of their life, their life story. And, as a songwriter, that's, the ultimate goal. [It's amazing] to write something that really means and that really matters to somebody. And we're fortunate that we are open enough to write a very diverse style of music and that we kind of think that we expect that from ourselves to really kind of have an open mind in terms of the kinds of songs that we write and the variety of the songs that we write and stylistically we have a chance to reach to, I think, a lot more people that maybe some other bands do."

FlipATicket.com - New From the Creators of BlueBucs.com



FlipATicket.com today announced that it is leading the charge of brokers who have united and said, “Enough is enough!”.  Over the course of the last several years, brokers have witnessed drastic changes the ticket industry has undergone; so drastic, in fact, that it is difficult to fully grasp.


If you were told five years ago that EI would be purchased by Ticketmaster, or that StubHub would be purchased by eBay, or that TN would morph into a gargantuan network of thousands of brokers, or that Ticket Technology would be bought by StubHub/eBay, or that LiveNation would buy every venue under the sun and ditch Ticketmaster for their own ticketing service, only to merge with Ticketmaster a few months later, would you have believed any of it?  Who could have imagined that all of those things would take place in five short years?

Perhaps a better question would be: How have these changes helped your business?  Let’s see...
  •  Fewer places to list your tickets.
  •  Little to no access to other brokers to work trades.
  • Fee after fee after fee after fee piled up on top of you.
  • Policy changes, sometimes daily.
And what is the result of these changes that we have all witnessed? You, the broker, are left holding the short end of the stick, working harder to earn less.  Your choice of places to buy, sell, and trade tickets has been boiled down to making a decision between the lesser of all that is evil.  That’s how you grow a business, right?  No, we didn’t think so either.

KATY PERRY TO HEADLINE MARCUS AMPHITHEATER DURING SUMMERFEST 2011

Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. officials are excited to announce the second performance slated for Summerfest 2011. Katy Perry will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on Thursday, July 7 at 7:30PM. An opening act will be announced at a later date.

Katy Perry sang in her local church as a child and began to pursue her career in music during high school. In 2007 she signed with her current label and rose to fame with the release of her second single “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008. Her first studio album One of the Boys followed later that year and also produced the singles “Hot n Cold” and “Waking Up in Vegas.” Perry’s sophomore album, Teenage Dream, was released in August 2010 and debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200. The album includes hit singles “California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream” and “Firework”, all of which have topped the charts on the Billboard Hot 100 and worldwide.

Perry is known for her unconventional clothing style, incorporating bright colors and patterns as well as fruit and dessert accessories into her outfits. She recently made the news for her October 2010 marriage to comedian Russel Brand. Katy has begun to build her empire beyond music with the recent release of her fragrance, Purr.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, January 29th at 10:00AM and include Summerfest admission.Tickets can be purchased at the Marcus Amphitheater Box Office, Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, Walmart stores, online at Ticketmaster.com and by phone at 1.800.745.3000 (live Ticketmaster Agent) or 1.866.448.7849 (“Ticketmaster Express” automated phone line). Patrons may also utilize “ticketfast” at Ticketmaster.com to print bar coded concert tickets from home. Convenience fees may be added to all purchases.

Due to the construction project on the south end of the grounds, the Marcus Amphitheater Box Office has been temporarily relocated to the intersection of Harbor Drive and Chicago Avenue at the Mid-Gate of the festival grounds. The building on the north side of the Mid-Gate will serve as the Marcus Amphitheater Box Office.

Summerfest 2011 will take place June 29 – July 3 and July 5 – 10, from Noon until Midnight daily. Summerfest will be closed Monday, July 4. The World’s Largest Music Festival and Milwaukee’s cornerstone summer celebration attracts the music industry’s hottest stars, emerging talent and local favorites. The Marcus Amphitheater and 10 additional stages, along with a diverse selection of food and beverage vendors, marketplaces and interactive exhibits, are set against the Lake Michigan and downtown backdrops, creating a festival experience like no other. Patrons can also enjoy Miller Lite, the Official Beer of Summerfest. For more details visit Summerfest.com.

Chris Cornell will embark on his first-ever solo acoustic “Songbook” tour.

This Spring, Chris Cornell will embark on his first-ever solo acoustic “Songbook” tour. Running from April through May 2011, it will spotlight songs from throughout his illustrious career, as well as a few surprise covers.

Back in December 2009, Cornell played his first acoustic “Songbook” show in Los Angeles at the Hotel Cafe to overwhelming response - the show sold out instantly. A second performance soon followed at the city's famous Troubadour.

Now, live audiences across the US & Canada will also have the chance to see Chris perform unplugged, up close and personal - an event many fans have been eagerly anticipating for years. Within this alternative setting, Cornell can easily interact with the audience and share insights about his music. Familiar songs emerge in a new context, showing that great songwriting translates to any idiom.

The Hold Steady - New Tour Dates Announced

The Hold Steady, who released the "vital piece of wizened wisdom" (Village Voice) 'Heaven Is Whenever' (Vagrant) last year, kick off 2011 with the release of the stripped down 'Live at Soho' iTunes session, a new song on the soundtrack for the Universal Pictures comedy "The Dilemma," and announce a handful of US tour dates, including three upcoming NYC shows.

The band will play two SOLD OUT shows at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, January 30 and 31, as well as an April 8 show at Terminal 5. In between the Music Hall of Williamsburg shows and the Terminal 5 date, the band will head out on extensive UK and Australian tours, and also play a show April 2 at the House of Blues in Cleveland, OH.

The iTunes 'Live at Soho' session was recorded last year, the night after a triumphant, sold-out show at New York's famed Beacon Theatre, and features stripped down, acoustic takes on songs from The Hold Steady's increasingly deep catalogue. For 'The Dilemma- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack,' out now, the band wrote new song "Just Saying" specifically for the film.
