Ticket King Rug...Part Deux

Today, Ticket King Saint Paul received our very own Ticket King rug! And it's just so pretty, we had to share. Since it's winter, we left the old (incredibly dirty) rug underneath the new rug, pulling it out a little further toward the edge of the Ticket King front door so that it absorbs some of the excess snow/ice/salt that gets carried in before it actually hits the new rug. It looks great, though, stop in and check it out on your way to your next St. Paul event!

Just a reminder that the WORLD'S TOUGHEST RODEO will be at the Xcel Energy Center this Friday and Saturday night's, with a concert following the rodeo each night! It's a super fun time, and, as always, Ticket King has the best Xcel Energy Center tickets around! Check out our website or give us a call at 651-298-8100 if you're looking for tickets to this weekend's events!

Week of January 26th

Man, another week of cold down here at Ticket King St. Paul! When will this nasty weather be done for the year? Snow is ok, but this cold is...too cold! This time of year does not bring a whole heckuvalot of performers to our great state, so there's not a whole heckuvalot going on this week. Although there do seem to be a few good things on the Xcel Energy Center schedule. Anyway, here's what's going on around the Twin Cities this week:

Tonight: Minnesota Wild vs. Toronto Maple Leafs. One of the original six playing at the Xcel Energy Center! Don't miss this big game!

Wednesday night: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Detroit Pistons at the Target Center.

Thursday night: Golden Gopher basketball vs. Illinois Fighting Illini at Williams Arena.

Friday night is when it all goes down:
♥ the Minnesota Timberwolves take on Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Target Center.
♥ the World's Toughest Rodeo takes over the Xcel Energy Center.
♥ don't miss Bill Engvall at the brand spankin' new Burnsville Performing Arts Center.

Saturday night: The World's Toughest Rodeo at the Xcel Energy Center: Night Two.

Sunday: SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!! Check out the BIG match up between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers!

Lunch in St. Paul

One of our favorite lunch spots down here at Ticket King St. Paul is the Eagle Street Grill. It's really close to the office (bonus) and they have good food to boot. Their soup in particular is super good. They have this super fabulous tomato soup with smoked Gouda cheese that is sooo good with a grilled cheese (sans bacon). And today's choice was awesome, too: chicken and wild rice. I love it. It's actually a great place to stop for dinner if you have Wild tickets to a game, because it's also the closest restaurant to the Xcel Energy Center. Check them out on your way to your next game :)

Quiet Week

We were definitely feeling the rush of Monday and Tuesday down here at Ticket King Saint Paul. That's because there were so many events over the course of the two days! But now that we're into the later part of the week, with no huge events to speak of, it's quieted down quite a bit. And we are enjoying being able to get caught up before our offices start getting crazy again! There are only a few events on the horizon of the Xcel Energy Center schedule, and other than that it's looking like things will be fairly calm down here on the streets of St. Paul for the next couple of weeks. Until the hockey tournaments start in February. Then it'll be crazy again....but it's nice to be busy, too :)

AC/DC Reflections

Monday night as AC/DC took over the Xcel Energy Center, AC/DC fans took over the streets of St. Paul. It was truly unbelievable to see how devoted some people can become to their favorite band. The excitement around West Seventh was undeniable, and it was actually pretty nice to have so much energy down around the Xcel Energy Center. We haven't seen that much energy down here in quite a while - probably not since the last AC/DC concert in October! Although Ticket King always has the hottest Xcel Energy Center tickets around, it was - obviously - a completely sold out show. TicketKing Saint Paul has been receiving rave reviews from customers that purchased tickets from our store - don't forget to give us a call the next time your favorite band comes to town!

Now, if only Justin Timberlake would get his booty back to St. Paul.... :)

Big Concert Announcement

So it was recently announced this week that Billy Joel and Elton John will be playing a joint concert at the Xcel Energy Center on May 5th. This is a huge deal! Neither have been on tour in quite a few years, so the fans of BOTH of these superstars are really geared up for the show. As always, Ticket King will be your NUMBER ONE source for Billy Joel and Elton John tickets, as well as any Xcel Energy Center tickets to all events held at the venue! If you're looking for awesome show tickets for the concert, give us a call at 651-298-8100 today!

Ticket King Rug

So being the nice sister office to Ticket King Minneapolis, I ordered them a fancy-schmancy Ticket King logo rug for the vestibule in the Minneapolis office. And it came in yesterday. And it's sooooo pretty :)
