Feel free to stop in our office at 8301 N Keystone Ave, Indianapolis. We love to see you, and are always glad to help you find what you need!

Saturday Aldean came to town with Luke Bryan and Lauren Alaina with The My Kinda Party tour, which has be breaking records all summer for fan attendance and sold out concert venues. According to an article posted in June by TicketNews, Aldean’s concert was ranked seventh on Pollstar’s Top 20 Concert Tours.

Klipsch Music Center where the concert was Saturday had some of the cheapest tickets for the Aldean tour across the country averaging $71 for a ticket.  But whether you had a cheap seat like I did on the lawn or VIP access in the pavilion, you were sure to have a good time!

School is back in session but the concert series is still going strong with guests coming to town like The Contours-50 Years of Motown on August 30-31, Jon McLaughlin on September 1, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy wrapping up the series on September 7-8.

Tickets are $22 beforehand and $27 at the gate.

Multiple vendors help provide food items for the events but concertgoers are able to pack their own picnics.  Concerts are quite popular so to ensure you get a prime spot and don’t get stuck in traffic, leave early.  Gates open at 6pm and concerts begin at 8pm.

Enjoy this summer time fun before summer officially ends!

Matt Kearney and Andy Grammer both opened for the concert and when Train did finally come out at about 9:00, the building was electric.  They started off with mostly older songs that I didn’t really know including a mashup of a few different songs.  Towards the middle of the performance it really picked up and they started playing those songs everyone’s heard on the radio for the last couple years.

Everyone had a great time! My group and I were sitting in the second level of the Fieldhouse, but in the first row.  It was great because we could stand and sing, but we could also sit down to take a break and still see the concert.  The only con for me was that I think I ate too much junk food, and it probably would have been worse if the concert was at the fairgrounds. Dodged a bullet there but if you do go to the fair, watch out for that.

However, our favorite part of the concert, and we all agreed, was how the lead singer of Train, Patrick Monahan, involved and used the audience.  Once he took the camera from the camera guy and filmed the audience as we sang a part of “Save Me San Francisco”. Then he brought three girls up on stage who had responded to him on Twitter and they got to sing a song with him. Only one of them actually knew the words so he just had the other two dance.  At the very end of the concert he wanted everyone to see the future of Indianapolis, so for his very last song he brought up two young boys, I would say no older than 5, and they got to be on stage with him for the final song.  Afterwards they receive a signed guitar, it was a cool moment.  All things considered Train put on a great show and I would gladly go back and see them next year if they decided to return.

Nickelback (July 21)- Nickelback is one of those bands that have become cool to bash. The Canadian rockers have sold millions of records without receiving much critical acclaim. Their music may be a little milquetoast but it is undeniably catchy. Occasionally one of their songs will come on the radio and I’ll start singing along. Then I realize that societal norms dictate I change the channel or risk having complete strangers judge me as they drive by. Maybe going to one of their concerts will cure me of my self-consciousness.

Wiz Khalifa (July 28)-  My first introduction to Khalifa was the ubiquitous “Black and Yellow.” I wasn’t impressed at the time, but he has grown on me. Wiz Khalifa’s skills can’t be compared to the greats of his genre, but his rhymes are simple, smooth, and delivered with incredible diction.

Jimmy Buffett (July 31)-I’ve been called a lot of things in my life but never a parrothead, the nickname for devout followers of Buffett. I’ve been told by reliable sources that Buffett puts on a great show and I am a fan of the songs “Margaritaville” and “It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere.” Here’s a fun fact: part of the music video for the latter song was shot at the Klipsch Music Center, back when it was the Verizon Center.

Which artists coming to town this summer are you willing to abandon air conditioning for?

Tickets for pavilion seats helped make our Lady A concert experience!

What made my concert experience so amazing? Two things: My pavilion seats and the musicians themselves.  Having seats inside the pavilion allowed for better viewing and the ability to comfortably sit during sets. I’ve sat outside before but am glad I chose tickets for the actual seats for this show. It was worth it being closer to the action on stage.

Dave, Hillary, and Charles were the real reasons this concert was stellar. Their voices sounded just like they do on their albums. I couldn’t believe it.  Here we are standing in 90+ degree heat on a muggy Sunday afternoon and Lady A is belting out their tunes and sounding just perfect. It was obvious they love what they do and the fans loved them for it.

The only negative was exiting the parking lot. My suggestions: Pack water in a cooler for after the concert while you wait and make a playlist with new songs to listen to. It will help pass the time as you will have a lot of it (usually) when leaving. Don’t like to wait? I’d suggest purchasing VIP parking to get in and out at a faster pace.

After spending a great week here I decided to write on this blog about my time here and the best upcoming concerts (in my opinion), and to support my #1 ticket broker. I know that’s surprising considering I speed a lot and its not the cops but you get the idea. Also I would like to thank Angelo Peduto for “hosting” or “putting up with” me this week. Thanks for reading and again check out the artist!!

Are any of you excited for upcoming concerts??
IF you are not then get excited!!
Circle City Tickets have a great supply of some of MY favorite artists!

My homie SNOOP and WIZ KALIFA along with MIKE EPPS are in town on February 2 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse

THE BLACK KEYES are coming to town on JUNE 11

Your original tickets will be honored at Conseco Fieldhouse the night of the show. Conseco Fieldhouse has stated that you will be given seats in a “comparable location”.

Please be aware of the following:

1) Should you decide to keep your tickets and attend the show at Conseco Fieldhouse;
Your seat location may be somewhat better or worse than your original seat location. We will not be able to make any adjustments to your original purchase price based on your seat location at Conseco Fieldhouse. We suggest arriving as early as possible. The box office has stated that the doors will open at 6:00 PM. They may allocate tickets by section rather than by exact seats, so arriving early may be helpful in receiving the best seat location.

2) If you decide not to attend this concert at Conseco Fieldhouse, please return your tickets to us by 12:00 noon tomorrow (August 18) for a full refund (less shipping). We must receive your tickets back in order to provide a refund.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Circle City Tickets, with it’s announcement of “No Fees” on all purchases, makes it a industry leader and easier for customers to see what the true cost of their purchase is without waiting to get to the end of a internet transaction, as is necessary on most competitor sites.

“We want our clients to know exactly what they are paying for when they see the price listed next to the seat locations” commented Angelo Peduto of Circle City Tickets. “The customer should not be surprised at the end of the transaction when the they see an additional fee added on that is labeled a service charge” “We tell you the price from the start and that is what you pay” “No Surprises”

Circle City Tickets has two office locations in Indianapolis:

North

Suite 100
Indianapolis, IN 46240

Downtown
12 West Maryland
Indianapolis, IN 46204

*PLEASE TAKE NOTE:  CIRCLE CITY TICKETS IS  OPEN AND IS STILL EASILY ACCESSIBLE! All traffic coming from 465 and the north side still have access to both the north and southbound lanes north of Woodfield Crossing Boulevard outside of our office.  Traffic coming from south on Keystone will need to turn right at the 80th Street light and then an immediate left onto the access road running parallel to Keystone that will lead you straight to our parking lot entrance.  

If you are looking to go to the Kenny Chesney concert at Verizon Wireless Music Center this weekend, Circle City Tickets still have lawn tickets available as well as VIP parking!  You can conveniently (now that you know the short cuts)  pick up your tickets at our north side office or you can schedule a pick up at our downtown office.

And be sure to check out Circle City Tickets discussing the damage on WTHR Channel 13 (around the 1 minute mark):

‘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.

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.

The application, which is available for free at most mobile app stores, allows customers to buy tickets, view venue information, including seating charts, and utilizes GPS to recommend “Hot Events” in the user’s area. When it comes time to order, tickets can be purchased with a single touch of the screen.

“The technology is amazing, and so convenient for our customers,” commented Angelo Peduto of Circle City Tickets. “And ultimately, customers can be confident that they are still dealing with the same people at Circle City who have been in business for 25 years.”

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.

Whether there’s an event you’d like to see, or someone you’d like to surprise with the perfect gift, we’re ready to help you.. You can call us at 317-254-9500 or 800-627-1334. Another option is to log on to our web site at circlecitytickets.com where you’ll see our myriad options as well as have the convenience of ordering online.

“This new office puts us right in the heart of 4 major Indianapolis venues – Conseco Fieldhouse, Lucas Oil Stadium, White River State Park, and Victory Field,” explained Angelo Peduto, partner at Circle City Tickets.

The downtown office will be open weekdays 10:30 – 5:00, with extended hours on days of events including all Colts home games. Customers can buy, sell and pick up tickets at the new office, just as they can at the original location – at 8301 North Keystone Avenue on the north side.

“Our service is what puts us a notch above ordinary ticket sellers. We have a reputation for finding the tough, high-demand tickets, meeting short deadlines, maintaining fair prices, and generally taking great care of our customers,” added Peduto. “This new location is just another huge convenience for our customers.”

I got my 8th row center stage aisle seats from Circle City Tickets. We are counting the days until the show!
I know that Circle City Tickets have “Poncho Seats” available if you want an up close and personal Blue Man experience. Get your tickets and party like a Blue Man!!

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!

If any of you enjoyed one or more of the movies listed, then I am open to hearing your opinions.  But my consensus remains that nothing beats the original.

Which brings me to my main point:   Colts Play Superbowl in Miami II was bound to disappoint.  The casting was similar, but missing a few key stars.  The wardrobe was mixed up a bit buy switching from white jerseys to blue.  The villain was a fresh opponent.  The set was changed from rainy Sunday to warm evening.  And of course the ending had to change in order to keep audiences in suspense.  Colts fans give this Miami re-do two giant foam thumbs down.

Now that Indianapolis has had nearly two weeks to get over their disgust, it is time to check the showtimes for this upcoming week of  some fresh originals or additions to a favorite series available through Circle City Tickets.

The album Move Along itself was certified double platinum in the US by the RIAA.

The All-American Rejects’ third album, When the World Comes Down, was released on December 16, 2008. The first single “Gives You Hell” garnered much attention internationally, with the song peaking Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 2 on Pop 100 charts, as well as in the top twenty of the UK Singles Chart and number three on the Australian ARIA Singles chart.
