They did a whole tour together probably 10 years ago. Bummed I didn't go.

It's kind of hard to find in good quality but any EJ fans should try to find the TCM Crossroads show he did with Ryan Adams.

EJ presales started at 10. For AMEX I pulled section 118, $220, not bad I guess. They also have some various VIP tix on sale, I pulled F2, row 15, front middle section, $425. Not paying that much for EJ.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Also plan on getting tickets for Anthony Jeselnik at the Pabst. $29.50 is insanely cheap.


I'm going to have to grab a couple tickets to go see this.. he's so damn funny.

Looks like it's prompting me for a pre-sale password? Never been to a show at the Pabst before. Have tickets not officially gone on sale yet?

Presale code for Jeselnik is SPIN. I just checked and the best seat it had was section 1 LT , row Q

Curious how Gaffigan tix are selling so I just checked. Tons of them left. Lots of lower bowl tix but it will cost you at least $100 (with fees) to sit in the LB. Uppers will be around $75 with fees. Not worth it IMO

It's so weird the price comparison between Jeselnik and Gaffigan. You'd think the tickets would be more expensive in a smaller venue like the Pabst. Instead they're 3 times cheaper than the cheapest ticket for Gaffigan.

I wanted to see Jeselnik when he came up to GB a few years back. I find him funny if you don't take him too serious. If people are up tight and/or no sense of humor, he is NOT your cup of tea AT ALL. The children death bits are a little rough sometimes, lol, but once again, can't take it too serious. I haven't heard any new stuff though, so I'm going off of the stand-up I watched probably 4 years ago already. I did like the one about the kid that died playing hide & seek b/c no one found him, everybody was devastated, but AJ didn't understand b/c the kid is one of the few people that could say they died a winner, haha.

The Bucks should pay attention to what the Falcons did with concessions at their new stadium - they lowered prices considerably, made transactions easier, and still made 16% more money on concessions than they did the previous year:

Foo Fighters is sold out, no surprise. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a second show. Hell they're doing 2 at Wrigley this summer. Seems to be plenty left for Maroon 5. Still some really good EJ seats for the AMEX presale, I just checked and pulled section 107.

Someone told me Elton is likely to add a Madison date and perhaps Lambeau date for his farewell tour. Not sure how credible.

The lineup of entertainment for the first year of the new Bucks arena is already filling up with impressive names, from Elton John to Maroon 5 and many more. Today, the arena added another major name to its stage: comedian and movie star Kevin Hart, who will bring his "Irresponsible" comedy tour to the new arena on Thursday, Sept. 13.

He’s in Wisconsin multiple times a year. Pretty tough sell.

Doubt he performs at Lambeau. The Packers organization is the worst when it comes to allowing non-packer events at Lambeau. It’s a real shame since tax payers were promised the stadium would be used for so much more.

That's not true at all. The Packers actively seek out concerts, there have been several there. There aren't a lot of acts that can fill a stadium obviously but if a big act is doing stadiums the Packers try to book them if they are available before August. The limited time frame does eliminate some acts.

In addition there are a lot of events in other areas of Lambeau.

Grew up in Green Bay and my uncle served in city council for two decades and this is completely false. The Packers board changed their stance on outside events after the snowcross fiasco over a decade ago. Since then, the stadium itself has been used for the Jason Aldean tour and that is about it. Sprinkle in the Badger hockey game and the Badger-LSU game and that is what you have as far as outside events. The Atrium is used for weddings/corporate events. The Packers also use it for the Packer 5K/Marathon every year. The Packers have the right to veto any event at the stadium and have used it non-stop. The Board has claimed these events cause massive damage to the field, meanwhile every other stadium in the NFL is used more frequently and hosts other events (HS sports, Soccer, etc.) that cause much more damage than a rock concert.

I believe Kenny Chesney has put on a few shows there as well.
