Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers coming to the Xcel Energy Center

Rock-legend Tom Petty is slated to perform at the Xcel Energy Center on June 22nd at 7:30. Tom Petty Tickets have been selling like crazy for this concert proving that whatever the Xcel Energy Center is doing to promote their concerts over the lacking Target Center concert schedule is working.

Though most people would argue that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers do not really need to be promoted at all. Over their decades long career, they have released hit songs like: Mary Jane's Last Dance, Won't Back Down, Want it All, and You Don't Know How It Feels. This Tom Petty Concert Tour will promote the band's latest album Mojo.

If you are planning on going to the Tom Petty Concert at the Xcel Energy Center, you better buy your tickets now before they are all sold out!

Looking for something to do while it rains all weekend? Head to the Xcel Energy Center for the Minnesota High School Hockey Tournament

The snow may be melting and spring may be right around the corner but Hockey season is still in full swing at the Xcel Energy Center with the Minnesota High School Hockey Tournament this weekend.

The Minnesota High School State Hockey Tournament started on Wednesday with the Class A teams playing quarterfinal games. Class AA played quarterfinals on Thursday. Today both classes play semi-finals. Third place and the Minnesota High School Championship Game will be on Saturday.

Minnesota High School Hockey Tickets are required for all games. Although the Xcel Energy Center has High School Hockey Tickets, they are releasing them just before game time, making the X a very chaotic place to be. A friend of mine, who went on Thursday told me that he went to Ticket King, just a block from the Xcel on 7th Street and purchased Minnesota High School Hockey Tickets with no line and no hassle. If you are planning on coming downtown for the tournament, keep Ticket King in mind!
