Scoring the tickets you want to your favorite sports, concerts, theater, and more is no longer just a daydream with VIP Tickets. June is here, and this summer is packed with sweet events that are cooler than the pool and hot enough to melt your ice cream. So, I say it is unofficially summer! I found some awesome tickets I thought you would like to see. But venture to VIP Tickets to search and fulfill your wildest dreams & schemes. Because I know that you are in fact a unique and special snowflake.

Alrighty then, let’s get to the new summer tickets! There’s no cooler Father’s Day gift for dear ole dad, an uncle, grandfather, or any special man in your life than taking him out to the ballgame! Represent your favorite team with your baseball hats, dig your gloves out of the garage, and get ready for peanuts, hot dogs, and home runs. He’ll swear you take after him in good taste for fun. Batter up and run your Major League Baseball Tickets home, conveniently to your computer. No matter which team YOU’RE rooting for, just remember… GO BRAVES! ; )

Are you training to be a Cage Fighter? Fortunately, for you, I’m not going to embarrass you with defeat. But I hope your reservations are as lightning fast as your mixed kung fu skills, so you don’t miss out on tickets to the Ultimate Fighting Championships! Who needs violent video games and movies when you can see some real blood and butt kicking and cage fighting? Team Edward vs. Team Jacob? Please. Those dandy boys are old news. How about Team Dos Santos vs. Team Carwin? Those dudes could kick both their supernatural butts. You don’t want to miss a REAL fight!

For all you Harry Potter fans out there, check out How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying! This Broadway hit stars Daniel Radcliffe as a young man ambitious to ditch window washing to climb the corporate ladder – as fast and easily as possible. Time to trade in the old spellbook for a real guide to WINNING! But will he succeed in business (without really trying)? See for yourself on Broadway. Brilliant!

And finally, my most favorite. Pack your camping stuff, alcoholic persuasions, munchies, and friends into your car for your epic road trip to the 700-acre Manchester Farm in Tennessee for the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival! Performing artists this year include Eminem, Arcade Fire, Lil Wayne, The Strokes, Buffalo Springfield, The Black Keys, Alison Krauss, Florence + the Machine, and many more.

You may have noticed that there are some wicked cool live experiences coming up soon. VIP Tickets has all the best hot tickets for May. And we’re here to help you get them, because we <3 you. We love giving you more than tickets – priceless smiles and lifelong fun memories to share. So what’s super hot? I’m glad you asked!

For all you Rockstar rebels out there, I hope you’ve got your tickets ready for the epic upcoming madness of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival! What do you get when you mix Disturbed, Godsmack, Megadeath, Machine Head, In Flames, Trivium, and a bunch more punks? Legendary chaos. That’s what. Don’t miss out on the MAYHEM!

Let’s talk about American Idol LIVE heating up a stage near you. That’s right. You want something WAY better than the 3D fad? You saw their magic moments on TV, broadcast to millions of screens worldwide. Soon you can see the stars of the show right in front of you. Don’t miss your chance to see this season’s top 11 Idols perform!

Praying for a genie to conjure your tickets to the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs? Seriously, stop rubbing that dirty old lamp. There are still a few seats left! The Tampa Bay Lightning are cracking the ice up against the burly Boston Bruins today, with the San Jose Sharks bloodthirsty to battle the mighty Vancouver Canucks tomorrow. Don’t miss the big series match-ups on May 21st and May 22nd to find out who will reign supreme with the coveted silver Holy Grail of Hockey – The Stanley Cup!

Speaking of Holy Grails, if you’re looking for killer rabbits, holy hand grenades, beautiful show girls, the Black Knight, Not Dead Fred, cows, and French people, then thou shalt not miss the medieval hilarity of Spamalot! What is all this rubbish, you might ask? Quite simply, it is “a musical lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” Spamalot is not the movie on stage, but you will see many of your favorite characters, and revel in the gloriously resplendent Python humor at it’s silliest. And the Lord did grin. Ye olden VIP Tickets has your seats!

As if those weren’t enough, I highly recommend seeing the incredible “East-meets-West” performance of Cirque du Soleil – Dralion! It is a fascinating fusion of ancient Chinese acrobatic arts with Western contemporary circus traditions in the avant-garde approach unique to Cirque du Soleil. The show’s title itself is a fusion of “dragon” (representing the East) and “lion” (representing the West). Prepare to be awed and amazed! Get your VIP Tickets before they sell out!
