Luke Bryan at the Xcel Energy Center March 2nd

Get ready, St. Paul because Luke Bryan is coming to the Xcel Energy Center! As a country fan, I could not be more excited to see Luke Bryan in concert.


The concert at the Xcel Energy Center will be on Sunday, March 2nd with opening acts Lee Brice and Cole Swindell. Not only does Luke Bryan have the current No. 1 album (and one of the year’s biggest sellers in “Crash My Party”) but Bryan was the recipient of the Academy of Country Music Awards' Entertainer of the Year award. Our boy Luke Bryan has five number 1 country singles, including the recent “That’s My Kind of Night.” I'm also pumped to hear his other hits like "Drunk on You" and "Crash My Party".

My favorite Luke Bryan song is "That's My Kind of Night" and I can't wait to see him live in concert on March 2nd at the Xcel Energy Center.

Jason Aldean tickets for Xcel Energy Center February 17, 2012

Jason Aldean tickets are flying off the shelves for the St Paul, Minnesota Xcel Energy Center concert on Friday February 17! If you're hoping to go to this concert and have not gotten your tickets yet, I suggest you bite the bullet and get your Jason Aldean tickets now!

Ticket King only has one set of tickets left in their inventory! Don't panic too much, they can still help get you tickets, they will just have to get them from another office for you! But there are not very many tickets left out there, and the Xcel Energy Center is sold out of Jason Aldean tickets! It's not often Xcel Energy Center tickets are sold out so far ahead of the concert! You know this one is a big deal!

Jason Aldean tickets for Xcel Energy Center February 17, 2012

Jason Aldean tickets went on sale this morning for his show at the Xcel Energy Center on Friday, February 17th at 7:30pm. This Jason Aldean St. Paul concert has already proven to be quite popular! I don't know if the box office has any tickets left, or if they do, I think it is very few, or possibly only limited view!

Jason Aldean is bringing supporting acts Luke Bryan and Lauren Alaina with him to the Xcel!

If you're hoping and planning on getting Xcel Energy Jason Aldean tickets, I'd get them now. I'm pretty sure if you wait, you'll be left out in the cold on concert day!

Jason Aldean is no newbie to the Xcel Energy Center; this concert will be his third visit to St. Paul Xcel. However, this tour is his first headlining visit to the Xcel.

I just read in Country People magazine that Jason Aldean is a HUGE Georgia Bulldogs fan. He even bought a bulldog that has shared bloodlines with the Georgia Bulldogs mascot bulldog, and he named his bulldog Athens, after the city name of where the Bulldogs play. This man has got some team spirit for the Georgia Bulldogs!

I also learned that Jason Aldean has two daughters! Crazy! I had no idea he was a father!

Jason Aldean Laughed Until We Cried lyrics:

Goin’ through my closet the other day
I found an old yearbook
Flipped right to the page of that senior trip
Down there on that Panama strip
We all started yellin’ when we smelled the beach
Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.’s
We only had a few days
And a whole lot of memories to make

Oh man we were livin’
Didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin’ cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin’ to granddad
We all knew it probably be his last
He was crackin’ jokes and we were takin’ turns
Tellin’ stories ‘bout fishin’ or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him
We all felt like kids again

Oh man we were livin
Sittin' there reminiscin'
We sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this a little of that
Kinda happy kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin’
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile
And I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
And my mind went back to a few years ago
When we tried so long
We almost gave up hope
And I remember you
Comin' in and tellin’ me the news

Oh man we were livin’
Goin’ crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried

Rave Reviews for Recent Xcel Energy Center Concerts

This year the Xcel Energy Center has had several great shows come through and this last week has been no exception.

On Sunday night, No Doubt rocked the Xcel Energy Center with a high-energy show that was reminiscent of the No Doubt that so many of us knew and loved in the 90's. Opening with "Spiderwebs", Gwen Stefani and the rest of the band made it clear, time apart had not taken away thier ability to rock. Following up with hits like "Hella Good", "Underneath it All", "Its my Life" and "Don't Speak" the concert was awesome from start to finish. The band took time to say a sincere thank you to the crowd and seemed to be enjoying the Twin Cities. Gwen revealed that they had watched the Minneapolis fireworks and that they were beautiful. The show ended with an encore of "Rock Steady", "Stand and Deliver" and "Sunday Morning". For all of you who missed it, the show was great and the crowd was the best... it was a great night to be in the Xcel!

Then last night Il Divo performed at the Xcel to a crowd of pop-opera fans. Dressed in their typical Armani suits, Il Divo looked the part of an international sensation... and then they began to sing, and swept away any doubts that this may be just another boy band. The group has true talent and concert goers last night witnessed a great performance. The guys later said they love to tour but would also love to put down roots somewhere and have a standing act, perhaps Vegas?

With the summer just getting into full swing there are still great concerts to go to and tickets left for the Xcel Energy Center!

Xcel Energy Center Tickets

There are several places that you can buy Xcel Energy Center tickets. Here are the top 5 spots that I can think of:

>>Ticketmaster
>>Ebay
>>Craigslist
>>Ticket Brokers
>>Scalpers


Of course, ticketmaster is the first place that most people think of, but a lot of times they are sold out and you can never talk to a real person, everything is automated. Besides I can never remember to log-on exactly at 9am or 10am to get tickets to my coveted event.


I have heard a lot of horror stories about Ebay so I don’t even want to try that, but I have tried Craigslist (hasn’t every one?) and have not had much luck getting tickets. Several times the tickets had already sold and they forgot to take the ad off. Three times the person never emailed me back and once the person never met me when they said they were going to. Plus I have noticed a lot of the tickets for sale are just Internet companies posting on craigslist. That takes too much time – it was exhausting even writing about it.

The next choice is the million ticket brokers out there. With the explosion of the Internet it seems there are hundreds of ticket selling websites out there. I prefer to use an online site that also has a store front, like Ticket King St Paul. They have an office just half a block from the Xcel Energy Center so I can pick up my tickets when I want and I don’t pay shipping fees and they don’t charge extra service fees at check-out so the price you see on their website is the price, no % fees at the end. I respect that.

Of course, you can take the chance and buy from scalpers on the street the night of the show/game, but I am just one of those nervous people that isn’t willing to risk my seat location until minutes before the curtain opens / puck drops. No thanks.

Perhaps I should add a 6th choice of the Xcel Energy Center box office, but I have never used them because it’s not convenient.

Leave me a COMMENT on how you find your Xcel Energy Center tickets!

Taylor Swift Rascal Flatts Rocked

I haven’t been doing that great of a job updating this Xcel Energy Center blog, but no worries I am back on track and I am getting my friends to help me! Below is a post from my friend KC who won tickets to last Friday nights Rascal Flatts concert – thanks for the review KC! Read on…

My mother won tickets to the Rascal Flatts concert from the local country radio station and gave them to my sister and me so we could have a night out on the town and it was quite a night! We sat in section 115 which normally would be so-so seats, but since the Rascal Flatts stage was enormous and included large catwalks that came all the way out to the edge of section 115, the seats were actually pretty good.

I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and her opening act performance did not disappoint. I hate to even call it an opening act because a lot of the crowd was there primarily for her (including me). There were tons of tween girls decked out in their Taylor Swift shirts and skinny jeans. Taylor sang all her top songs, but she didn’t sing Oh, My, My which is one of my favorite songs – I guess she can’t sing them all. I would 100% buy Taylor Swift tickets, she is amazing.

Rascal Flatts had a cool stage set-up with really high-tech graphics/light show. My sister and I both agreed we had forgotten how many “popular” songs they had and how we knew the words to every Rascal Flatts song. The Xcel Energy Center was totally packed and everyone was on their feet the entire time, my feet were killing me! LOL!

Celebrity sightings: My friend Cortney over at style and sports claims she saw Minnesota Wild players James Sheppard and Josh Harding at the show. Minnesota Vikings players came out on stage after the Flatts show, I saw Jared Allan for sure and I think Bernard Berrian and two others that I couldn’t quite make out from my section 115 seats – LOL!

After the show we called my parents to Thank them for the tickets, my mother was already in bed, but my dad was up watching some car race on TV and I think he appreciated our enthusiasm and thoughtfulness to call. If you have never been to a concert at the Xcel Energy Center, you are missing out – buy Xcel Energy Center tickets today and get out to St Paul for a guaranteed good time.
