Your seat location may be somewhat better or worse than your original seat location.

‘Friends’ (NBC) was the greatest show of all time and  I’m confident enough to say so.  It had the perfect formula for success with 3 guys and 3 girls who are all 30-something best friends living in the city, experience many adventures, hookups, breakups, and all to the sweet sound of a laugh track.  Introduce an episode of ‘Friends’ to anyone who has never really watched the show and they will instantly fall in love with Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Monica, and Chandler.

‘Friends’ aired for 10 wonderful years and there has not and will not be anything like it.  Today you will find 3 shows on major networks that are attempting to use the magical formula to recreate the perfect friend group.  However, we are not fooled and will not be swayed.

‘Happy Endings’ (ABC) premiered last night with one of the gals leaving one of the guys at the altar.  How original.  Rachel left her fiancé during the pilot episode of ‘Friends’ and on the ‘Perfect Couples’ (NBC) premiere two of the friends decide not to get married just before walking down the aisle.  ’Happy Endings’ also features 6 familiar characters that you will find uncanny resemblances to in ‘Friends’ and ‘Perfect Couples’ as well as a purple-walled apartment that will take you back to Monica’s trademark apartment.

‘Perfect Couples’ follows the ‘Friends’ path a bit less than ‘Happy Endings’ since the characters are all in relationships with each other, however ‘Perfect Couples’ seems to have taken a page out of the ‘Better With You’ (ABC) playbook, a show that I have enjoyed from the start.  ’Perfect Couples’ compares the lives at 3 couples who are all friends but are in different stages in their relationships.  ’Better With You’ also features 3 couples in different staged relationships, however the characters are related with the two girls being sisters and the oldest couple being their parents.  ’Better With You’ trumps ‘Perfect Couples’ because the characters are naturally funny and it is the only show out of the 3 that boasts a laugh track (a lost art).

There are so many similarities and comparisons between these 4 shows (as if the picture doesn’t say it all) that I could rant about the outrage all afternoon.  So I will leave you with the most important piece of information… Cammi’s official ranking:

4th- ‘Perfect Couples’ (Bad jokes and bad casting! Bleh!)

3rd- ‘Happy Endings’ (Funny moments… if you can get past the ‘Friends’ parallels)

2nd- ‘Better With You’ (Classic comedy that will make you want to hang with your sis)

1st- ‘Friends’ (Need I say more?)

After all of this confusion, I am sure that you are wanting to do something that involves a bit less creative overlap.  Well then check out Circle City Tickets for the best deals on tickets to shows to see your favorite creative music artists this summer!

A complete list is available when you call Circle City Tickets to reserve your premium seating.

Ladies, I will let you in on a little secret…..we can get your seats so close to Bret Michaels and Tim McGraw that you will think that they are singing to you when they are looking into your eyes!!

Multi-platinum-selling. Five-time Grammy-nominated. Singer, pianist, and musical anthropologist, devoting his career to the rediscovery, preservation, and performance of the wealth of material we know as American Popular Song. As proven in sold-out shows in the world’s capitals, Feinstein’s passion for the music fills concert halls with the songs America danced to, romanced to, and grew up to.

Feinstein is now the artistic director of the newly-completed, one hundred sixty million dollar Palladium in Carmel, Indiana — a state of the art concert hall already hailed by critics and performers alike as one of the country’s premiere venues. The hall is as exciting and new, in fact, as this musical event for which it provides the setting.

It’s an evening dedicated to “The Sinatra Circle” — the performers, the songs, and that fabulous era of music in which Frank Sinatra reigned supreme. Backed by a seventeen-piece Big Band and spiced with stories about these bigger-than-life personalities, Feinstein will lead a musical exploration into how Sinatra affected his contemporaries — voices like Rosemary Clooney, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald — and how they, in turn, affected him.

These legends and more are conjured up by way of their equally-legendary songs, some iconic and others familiar but fresh. “Luck Be a Lady,” “Begin the Beguine,” “All I Need is the Girl,” “I Love Being Here with You,” “What Kind of Fool Am I?” “The Lady is a Tramp,” “Once in a Lifetime,” “Sway!”

That’s only a partial song list, of course, and the numbers may change — but what’s definitely in store is a night of classic American songs, the best of the best, in timeless arrangements with the unmistakable Michael Feinstein style.

Following the success of “The Sinatra Project,” this next step — commissioned by Concord Records — once more emulates the unique, Big Band sound Sinatra originated with Nelson Riddle. It sings…and it most definitely swings…in all-new arrangements bringing that sound right up to date, paying tribute to that time when American music captured our spirit of boundless optimism.

Feinstein. Sinatra. Big Band. The perfect combination for an unforgettable evening.

We have tickets in the first 10 row for this special performance.

CIRCLE CITY GIFT CARDS TO THE RESCUE!!!

Circle City has gift cards in any amount that you choose and the “have everything” guy or gal can use them for the hottest summer concerts, baseball, basketball, or football tickets in-town or out-of-town.
Quit stressing over what gift to buy and let Circle City Tickets

I’m a loud and proud Celine fan… nothing embarrassing about it!  So what performer are you a mega-fan of?  John Mellencamp?  Justin Bieber?  Lady Gaga?  Sarah McLachlan?  Roger Waters?  Carrie Underwood?  Chris Isaak?  Well Circle City Tickets has the best seats to see all of these artists and more!  Check us out and see if we can help you get your fanatic fix…

BOSS’S DAY IS OCTOBER 16, 2010!!!!! Having Boss’s Day fall on a Saturday sort of defeats the purpose and leaves our fearless leaders feeling a bit neglected, so I feel we should recognize our bosses a day early.  I have prepared an acrostic in honor of the big guys here at Circle City Tickets thanking them for the many great things they do around the office.  Without further ado… a poem:

B- Being available for your employees even though all we do is whine about the air conditioning, the soda selection in the fridge, the lack of lumbar support in our chairs, or the cancelled US Weekly subscriptions.

O- Only taking a 4 day vacation to Wine Country (when we’re sure you would like for it to be 12 days) so that you can be here to fix our printers, help us with our logins, order our office supplies, and sign our paychecks.

S- Smiling through our mindless stories about our cats, our kids, our spouses, and our elderly grandparents, even though you just heard the same story yesterday.

S- Showing you’re thinking about us by attempting to start planning our office holiday party two months in advance knowing that you will not get any solid plans from us until after the first week of December and all of the good restaurants are booked.

I sure wish there were more letters in the word “boss,” because there are so many great things our bosses do for us employees!  But, more importantly, our bosses do great things for all of you… by providing you with premium access to tickets to sporting events, concerts, and shows anywhere in the country!

Right now my bosses can supply you with tickets to see Wicked in Indianapolis over Christmas, or tickets to hang out in the pit at the Zac Brown Band concert, or get you sideline seats to see everyone’s favorite NFL team: the Indianapolis Colts.  Come to think of it, my bosses are pretty dang cool!

Thanks Circle City Tickets bosses!  We’ll keep working hard for you and you keep working hard for the better of the Indianapolis public!

And what could be scarier than Bob Dylan playing at the Murat Theatre on Halloween?  With songs like Blood In My Eyes, Dead Man Dead Man, See That My Grave Is Kept Clean, Fixin’ To Die, Who Killed Davey Moore?, Seven Curses, and Man In The Long Black Coat you’re sure to get a fright during this spine-chilling performance.

Circle City Tickets still has great Royalty section seats available to fulfill your need for a thrill on the 31st.  Costumes are welcome since I’m sure Bob Dylan will be dressing up… hopefully as a younger version of himself… SCARY!

Consider Circle City Tickets for your gift giving as well. We have gift cards available for you to purchase in any denomination you choose. We have already had many people purchase either gift cards or tickets to give as Christmas gifts. Let us help you find the perfect option for your gift giving needs.

The ESPN pre-season power rankings are in and the Indianapolis Colts are ranked pre-season number 1. Even though the Colts haven’t played a game yet and lost all 4 preseason games, many analysts still think the Colts will be the team to beat this year. The colts start the season off this weekend at Houston and have their home opener on 9/19 with the Manning Bowl against the Giants. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to show that you Believe in Blue call Circle City Tickets to get your tickets today!

In other news, thanks to all of you who commented on my previous blog about your summer time memories. Mike S. from Indianapolis, was randomly selected to receive a commemorative Colts DVD complements of Circle City Tickets! Thanks again Mike!

Even though they put a stage extention and eliminated a number a seats, I feel my wife and I had the best seats in the house. They were right there at the end of the runway. We could not have been any closer. Because of the seat we had, those added seats to section B, we were chosen by one of the cameramen to have our picture on the big screens during one of the songs.

Thanks again.
Dale S.

Call Circle City Tickets when you want to sit in the “best seat in the house” for your event. All of our representatives want to make your event experience a great one!

 Since the twins are expected to be boys, I have, of course, conquered the blue theme. I’m thinking poolside under a cabana at a private residence in Palm Springs. Baby blue chandeliers will hang from the chiffon ceiling with Vera Wang Lace China at each place setting. The six-tiered vanilla cake will boast raspberry filling and buttercream icing and two platinum baby shoes as the topper. Each guest will receive a $2,750 blue and diamond carriage charm from Tiffany’s, so be sure to RSVP with a guest!

Celine Dion obviously is not touring this year, but make sure you check out those artists who are not knocked up. So far August is looking good with a line-up of Jonas Brothers, Rascal Flatts, John Mayer, Hanson (yes, this is the 2010 schedule), Adam Lambert, and so many more! Contact Circle City Tickets @ 800-627-1334 for more information on all of these show and ask for Cammi to RSVP for Celine Dion’s shower.

It was an Indiana night with Indiana boys (and girls) and Tom Petty blew the roof off of Verizon Wireless Music Center. This happened to be my first concert at the Verizon venue in Noblesville and it was the ultimate concert experience thanks to VIP parking and Club access. This is the only way to go—we drove right past the lines of traffic waiting to get in and entered the separate VIP parking lot. Top shelf bar and café-style dining don’t even compare to the lines at the concession stands outside the VIP area. Tom Petty put on an incredible show and we had amazing seats because my favorite ticket broker, Circle City Tickets, always has the best seat in the house!

I want to believe that he and his crew know what they are doing but I can’t get past the arena shows that I have been to that sounded awesome and were part of my young, single adulthood J . The idea of one of the greatest bands (still) alive playing at the State Fair cheapens my memories and makes me say WTF!. Jessica Simpson tours State Fairs. The idea of seeing one of the greatest bands in one of the worst places visually and acoustically doesn’t make me want to march with the army that I am a part of or open my wallet, again, to the Demon. I don’t want to smell the pigs mixed with the pyrotechnics.

The Kiss Army needs to stand up and say “change the venue”!! Go to Verizon, go to the Lawn, go to Victory Field, go anywhere (except Conseco Fieldhouse above the lower level—spend the cash for premium seating!). We will come, we will spend, we will have our arena band memories intact and we will not feel that Kiss has sunk to the level of Jessica Simpson!

Anyway…..I would really have liked to hear what Tiger would have said on the occasion. I’m glad he didn’t win (although I would have preferred an American to win), but you have to be curious about the speech.

That’s’ right -your card will be sent via good old fashioned postal mail -not e-mail! Your inboxes are inundated with enough e-mail right? No one wants another e-mail, even if it’s an electronic greeting card.

Greeting cards sent through the mail are the least intrusive most pleasant way to communicate. Think of the greeting cards you receive in the mail and how many of those you throw away without opening! I would bet the number is ZERO!

Ballroom Dance. Like this.

That is something that we don’t do in the SEC. But in the SEC, we do this:

You “win” Purdue.

At Circle City Tickets, we are proud to support the Big Ten in whatever “sports” they turn out to be good at.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxgWza9xHRw

That however, it not the main purpose of this blog, I just wanted to include it.  Goodness knows I would never miss the opportunity to express how much better SEC football is than every other conference, but this blog is not about that.

Actually it is.  Just kidding.  This year the SEC set a new record with 49 players from the conference selected in the 2010 NFL draft.  That was 15 more players than the Big Ten had selected–30% more players!!

Not only did the SEC have the most overall players selected, they also had 23 players taken in the first three rounds–the “premium” rounds–more than the second place Pac-Ten which had 15.

So for 11 of the past 13 years the SEC has had the most players taken in the draft.

That is dominance.  Something the SEC knows well.  (And something the Big Ten knows by another form of the word, i.e. “dominated”).

Let Circle City Tickets help you find tickets to see these former SEC football players in the NFL.

Roll Tide.

**Oh, it is also worth mentioning that there are 7 SEC teams ranked in the top 25 rankings for college baseball.  The SEC is loaded this year and no doubt the winner of the college world series will probably once again be from the mighty Southeastern Conference.

The sixth seeded Ravens will find a well rested and fired up Indianapolis Colts team lead by newly crowned league MVP Peyton Manning. The last time these two teams meet was Nov 22 in Baltimore. That day the Colts came away with their 7th straight win over the Ravens, 17-15. Manning passed for 299 yards and one touchdown but still gave up two interceptions. The Colts Defense allowed 354 total yards but held the Ravens to five Ravens field goals.

The Colts hope to continue their playoff journey this weekend with a win against the Ravens. Did you miss the last run to the Super Bowl the Colts had in 2007? Don’t miss it this time! Circle City Tickets is once again the place for tickets to all of the Colts Playoff games. Circle City Tickets has seating available in all levels at Lucas Oil Stadium for the game against the Baltimore Ravens on January 16th at 8:15 pm.
