Brewers Ticket Prices For Home Games At Miller Park

Brewers ticket prices
What are our Brewers ticket prices, you say?  The short answer is “it depends.” Just like any hot ticket, prices can vary from game to game, and the time of year.  There are days when a Brewers ticket is a bargain, and times when tickets are priced higher due to market conditions. Grabbing a bargain priced ticket might mean going to Miller Park on a weeknight, or sitting in the upper-most level.  Higher priced tickets are usually the better seats at Miller Park.

      ·         Sitting in the infield, just above the visitors’ dugout is one of the best places to see a game.  

·         A ticket for a seat down the left field line has its advantages. It’s easy to see the arc of the pitch from that area, and you never know when a foul ball will come your way.

·         Seats behind the screen are great, but some feel that they lose out on a bit of the action.

·         If you get the chance, check out the NYCE Stadium Club area out in left field.

·         Seats in the 400 level offer a bird’s eye view of the field.

Finally, the Brewers’ opponent can certainly influence the price of our tickets.  Cubs fans call Miller Park “Wrigley North.” When twenty thousand Cubs fans drive north, tickets can be a bit harder to find. During inter league play, ticket sales are brisk.  It’s best to plan far ahead on those occasions.

Whether you are sitting in the uppermost level or just up from the on deck circle, you will find that Miller Park is a great place to see a Brewers game.  This summer, spend some time at the stadium.

BMO Harris Bradley Center Events 2013 | Ticket King Wisconsin

BMO Harris Bradley Center Events 2013
The BMO Harris Bradley Center’s summer and fall schedules are modest this year compared to most around this time. Only four events are planned through the end of 2013 currently, though more are likely to be added throughout the remainder of the season. But, despite the sparse line-up, a few of the acts coming to the downtown Milwaukee arena are sure to be sell-outs.

The Danceworks Mad Hot Ballroom and Tap Competition will roll into the Bradley Center on May 18. Hosting their seventh annual tournament at the venue, Danceworks is a city-wide initiative to get underprivileged youth involved in art and physical activity. The non-profit works directly with Milwaukee Public Schools during the school year, and many of the competitors in the event were first introduced to dance through the various school programs.
The 2013 Danceworks Mad Hot Ballroom and Tap Competition is free and open to the public. Over 2,500 participants are signed-up to take-part this year, one of the largest groups in the history of the event, accomplished with the help of a new partnership with Milwaukee County Transit. Free bus rides to and from the Bradley Center will be available on the day of the competition, and Goodwill plans to provide dance-appropriate clothing for children at the event. Doors open at 10AM on Saturday, May 18th.

UFC Fighting Championship Series In Milwaukee

The ever-popular Ultimate Fighting Championship series returns tothe Bradley Center in August. Dubbed UFC 164, the August 31st fights will be the first in Milwaukee since Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle headlined UFC on Versus 5 at the Bradley Center in 2011. UFC 164’s featured fighters have not been announced yet.

Harley-Davidson will be the premier sponsor of this year’s event. The Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer will celebrate its 110th anniversary as part of the UFC’s Hometown Throwdown series, which honors long-time American companies by scheduling fights in their home cities.

For its part, Harley-Davidson is offering fans the chance to win a custom designed “Street-Bob” motorcycle that will be introduced in the center of the main stage on the day of the event. Scheduled to round-out the 2013 season are pair of iconic acts that will come to the Bradley Center in September and November, respectively.
County Music Award winner and pop-sensation Blake Shelton will bring his Ten Times Crazier Tour to the Bradley Center on September 13th. The second nation-wide tour in as many years for the accomplished vocalist, Shelton is coming-off of three consecutive Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the CMA, as well as the 2012 Entertainer of the Year title. His current tour will promote his new album, Based on a True Story, which has garnered unanimous praise from critics and fans, as well as two hit singles that have reigned at the top of charts for weeks. Fellow country-starts Jana Kramer and Easton Corbin will join Shelton on his Milwaukee stop. 

P!nk’s The Truth About Love tour was not originally scheduled for a show at the Bradley Center this year, though popular-demand has forced the decade-long superstar to extend the tour of her seventh album. Included in that extension will be a November 1st stop in Milwaukee, a show that is already selling tickets quicker than almost any other event at the Bradley Center this year. Acclaim for the tour has been ample in reviews throughout its run thus-far, especially for director Baz Halpin’s visual accompaniment to P!nk’s stellar voice range and physicality during her performances.

Who Did The Packers Pick In The 2013 NFL Draft?


Packers 2013 NFL Draft
The Green Bay Packers took eleven players away from the 2013 draft over the weekend. Locking-in star quarterback Aaron Rodgers until 2019 just days earlier, Packers staff was free to make some unexpected moves later in the process, though they stuck to conventional wisdom to open their choices. 

UCLA defensive end Datone Jones received the first nod from Green Bay, representing the team's sole first round pick at twenty-sixth overall. Jones will likely be in the running for a starting spot come training camp. Running back Johnathan Franklin was also taken from UCLA by the Packers this year, getting the call in the fourth round. He joins a ground corps that has lacked consistent talent for a number of seasons, as does Alabama's Eddie Lacy who went late in the second.

Nine of Green Bay's picks came in the fourth round or later. Along with Franklin, tackles David Bakhtiari and J.C. Tretter were taken in the fourth. The pair is slotted to hopefully revive last year's struggling offensive line, as both are considered dynamic linesman who can play multiple positions.

Micah Hyde and Josh Boyd are another duo who are expected to change positions in the pros. Making up the Packers fifth round picks, the corner and tackle will likely start the summer at safety and nose-tackle, respectively.

Coming late in the draft were four picks that analysts are labeling as experimental. Out of schools like Maryland and Grand Valley State, wide receivers Charles Johnson and Kevin Dorsey and linebackers Nate Palmer and Sam Barrington were virtual unknowns coming into the draft class. General Manager Ted Thompson told reporters that with some available salary cap left over from the Rodgers deal, he and his staff chose to search for some diamonds in the rough. He hopes that camp will prove to reveal a couple that are worth developing into backups or perhaps future starters.

2013 Green Bay Packers Draft Choices


Round 1:
Datone Jones, UCLA
Round 2:
Eddie Lacy, Alabama
Round 4:
David Bakhtiari, Colorado
Johnathan Franklin, UCLA
Round 5:
Micah Hyde, Iowa
Josh Boyd, Mississippi State
Round 6:
Nate Palmer, Illinois State
Round 7:
Charles Johnson, Grand Valley State
Kevin Dorsey, Maryland
Sam Barrington, South Florida

Jimmy Buffett Alpine Valley August 24 2013 | Ticket King Wisconsin

Jimmy Buffett Alpine Valley Tickets
The summer would not be complete without a Jimmy Buffett concert at Alpine Valley.  The date is set, and the Parrotheads will flock to East Troy on August 24.  Buffett tickets for the show will be available after May 13. Opening for Buffett will be none other than Jackson Browne.

Jimmy Buffett has the most loyal fan base in music today. His calls to party "beach style" are hard to resist.  After all, his music reminds us all that "It's 5 o'clock somewhere." Buffett has been making music since 1970, but he broke out of the pack with "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" back in 1977.  Everyone knows the hit song "Margaritaville" was on that album, and that's when all the fun started.

Throughout the 1980's Buffett continued to make great music, releasing eight albums in that decade.  By 1990, Buffett had stared his own record label.  He made five disks in those ten years, with every one of them going Gold or Platinum. He's pumped out eleven live disks too.  Fast forward another decade and Jimmy Buffett is the third richest musician in the world.  From disks, to clothing, to resorts, housewares, and furniture, Jimmy sells it all.  After all, his loyal fans just keep asking for more.  Ticket King Wisconsin has all the best Buffett tickets.  Check out our seating options, and enjoy the show!
