Four Things To Do This Week In Milwaukee | Ticket King Wisconsin
Milwaukee isn't just a sports and festival town. Sure, when summer is in full swing, the thing to do is head on down to the lakefront and take in the sites at one of the many ethnic festivals. The Brewers wrapped up their season nearly one month ago, the Bucks have yet to play their first regular season game, and the Summerfest grounds are closed for the season. So what is a Milwaukee city dweller to do this week?
Jersey Boys At Uhlein Hall
Check out the Broadway In Milwaukee musical Jersey Boys at Uhlein Hall this week. There are performances running through the weekend, with a 1pm matinee on Sunday afternoon. This musical focuses on the 1960's band The Four Seasons. Opening in 2005, the Broadway production was quick to win a Tony and a Grammy.
Indigo Girls With The MSO
The Indigo Girls have teamed up with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and created a musical experience that cannot be missed. This is a one night only event, so grab those Indigo Girls tickets now.
Rain - A Tribute To The Beatles
Coming to the Milwaukee Theater on Friday it's Rain - A Tribute To The Beatles. After sold out shows across the country, Rain makes a brief stop here in town. The show starts with a video montage of the early days of the Beatles, and ends with live performances by musicians dressed to look just like the real thing.
Creatures And Creators Halloween Party At Turner Hall
88-Nine Radio Milwaukee hosts a great Halloween party at Turner Hall. Enjoy everything from DJ's to actual live music by the Fatty Acids. Of course, there will be a costume contest. The final act of the evening will be a Michael Jackson versus Prince dance party. We're not sure what that's all about, but it sounds quite interesting.

Admirals Tickets For Home Opener October 11 | Milwaukee Admirals Promotional Schedule 2013
The Milwaukee Admirals are ready to kick-off their 35th
season in the American Hockey League on Friday, October 11. Following a loss in
their final preseason match against the Iowa Wild last week, the Admirals open
the 2013 season in Canada at the Abbotsford Heat. Earlier this week, the staff
at the BMO Harris Bradley Center were prepping the ice for the team's
home-opener on coming up against Chicago. The frozen rink will be the only
permanent structure at the downtown venue for the seven-month season, as other
surfaces set for basketball and music performances will be laid right on top.
The Admirals preseason finale in Iowa looked like it would
end on a high note until the Wild's Taylor Matson scored an equalizing goal
with just four minutes remaining in the third period. Milwaukee defenseman
Scott Ford put a puck past goalie Darcy Kuemper early in the first to manage
the Admirals sole score of the night, failing to capitalize on their only
powerplay of the game later in the period.
Iowa came away empty from four of their own power plays
during regulation, though a penalty in overtime to the Admirals Miikka Salomaki
was the catalyst for a game-ending goal by forward Zack Phillips. The night's
slow play was highlighted by a stellar performance from Admirals reserve
goalkeeper Marek Mazanec. Taking the place of starter Magnus Hellberg
30-minutes into play, Mazanec stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced, including
seven in overtime.
The Netminder corps of the Admirals 2013 roster is one of
their strongest in years. A strong backup in Mazanec, the team holds a 2012
top-five performer in the Swede Hellberg. Drafted by NHL affiliate Nashville in
2011, Hellberg has stopped 916 of nearly 1000 shots against him since then, and
is expected get the call to play behind the Predators Pekka Rinne soon.
Returning Admirals Lead The Charge
Others returning from last season's playoff team include top
scorer Austin Watson, who managed an Admirals-best 20 goals in his rookie year
in 2012. Also a familiar face, the team's leading assist-man forward Taylor Beck
will be back in 2013. Beck is part of a trio of Admirals to have gotten
late-season promotions to Nashville last year who will be back in the AHL in
2013; the other two are Joonas Rask and Kevin Henderson.
The coveted Calder Cup is the priority for the end of the
2013 season, a feat the team fell short of last year with four losses in the
first round of the postseason. Though, maintaining the Admirals diligent
fan-base is an equally as important goal say officials at the organization. One
of the most attended farm-teams in the league, the Admirals have again
partnered with a number of sponsors to host five fan-promotions this season.

Milwaukee Bucks Begin First Week Of Camp | New Bucks Squad Comes Together
The revamped Milwaukee Bucks and new head coach Larry Drew
concluded the first week of camp this week with the Bucks annual Fun Fest on
Saturday. The open practice featured scrimmages, drills, fan interaction, and
much more for the over 1,000 that filled the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The day
was also the first time fans got to see the new MECCA floor-inspired court
played on since it was debuted last month.
Drew was pleased with his new team heading into Saturday's
event. Following a week of practice including private scrimmages on Thursday
and a defensive focus on Friday, the head coach told reporters he was excited
about the prospects this season. Point guard Brandon Knight echoed those
thoughts, though he admitted that there were still kinks to work out for the
relatively unfamiliar 19 faces in camp this year.
Larry Sanders was one of just four players on the court at
Fan Fest who wore a Bucks jersey last season. He and Knight teamed up with O.J.
Mayo, Ersan Ilyasova, and Caron Butler for two 12-minute scrimmages against
Gary Neal, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Olek Czyk, Luke Ridnour, and John Henson to
highlight the day. The ten were supported by a bench featuring the likes of
Nate Wolters and Marquette's Junior Cadougan.
Dubbed the black team, Sanders and his teammates for the day
are expected to be one of the starting-line options for Drew this season. The
five lost a scrimmage on Thursday to Neal's and Antetokounmpo's second-line,
though redeemed themselves in-front of the home crowd with a 41-29 win. Knight
led the game with nine points, followed by Sanders with eight.
First round draft pick Antetokounmpo put-up seven points for
the white team in their unsuccessful effort against the starters. Fellow rookie
Wolters led the bench with five. The pair took a break from the action to join
fans in a free-throw contest during a timeout. Shooting with a teammate from
the audience, the rookies kept the competition close, though Antetokounmpo and
his partner narrowly won by a margin of 13-to-12.
Bucks Squad Without Udoh and Delfino
Notable absences from Saturday's Fan Fest included returning
power forward Epke Udoh, Carlos Delfino, and Zaza Pachulia. Udoh was the only
unconfirmed omission prior to Saturday, as Delfino and Pachulia were both
sidelined earlier in the week. Staff for the team could only reveal that Udoh
complained of soreness that morning. Former Piston forward Khris Middleton was
the bright spot on the injury report Saturday, returning to participate fully
despite spraining an ankle on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers 2014 Full Schedule | Ticket King Wisconsin
An exciting home-stand against the Braves will begin the
Milwaukee Brewers 45th year in the majors. The team announced their
full 2014 schedule earlier this month, revealing a mixture of enticing
interleague play, two exhibition games, and the return of a number of forgotten
opponents to Miller Park.
The Brewers 2014 schedule starts on Monday, March 31st.
Atlanta visits until that Wednesday, before the Brewers head to Boston for
their first away-series of the year. The team stays on the east coast for another
meeting in Philadelphia, and then returns to Miller Park to open divisional
play against Pittsburgh.
Fans will have a chance to see their team prior to the start
of the regular season at Miller Park as they take on the Kansas City Royals in
a pair of exhibition games on March 28th and 29th.
Following the series at the Red Sox, the Brewers remaining
interleague schedule is one of their best in years. The team plays the entire
American League East through May, June, and July, including their first games in
Toronto and Tampa Bay in nearly a decade. Baltimore makes their first trip to
Miller Park since 2008 as part of the interleague schedule, and a rare
home-and-away two-game series against Minnesota is the highlight.
There is no love lost between the Brewers and their division
rivals St. Louis and Chicago. In 2014, Milwaukee plays 13 unique series against
their fellow NL-Central counterparts, in addition to multiple meetings with the
Reds and the Pirates. The Brewers host 11 consecutive games at Miller Park in
September for their longest home-stand of the season. From the 4th
to the 14th, the Cardinals, the Marlins, and the Reds travel to
Milwaukee. The 10-day schedule is straddled by a pair of 9-game away-series.
Marking the last road-trips of the year, the Brewers take-on
the Padres, San Francisco, and Chicago from August 25th to September
3rd. Then, following the home-stand, the team meets in St. Louis,
Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati from September 15th to the 24th.
The Brewers end the 2014 season at Miller Park against the Cubs on Sunday,
September 27th.
