Olympic Gymnastics Won Our Heart and National Tour of Gymnastics Tickets

Down here at PerfectTix, we have been LOVING keeping up with all of the Olympic events over the last couple of weeks. We know that all of you have been keeping up with all of the amazing wins that the United States has had over the last couple of weeks - and we're realizing that pretty much everyone is just as obsessed with the gymnastics events as we are. With the National Tour of Gymnastics tickets being now available, we want to recap some of our favorite gymnastics moments at the London games. Basically, if you love this sport as much as we do you can re-live some of these amazing moments with the US Olympics Gymnastics team at the Gymnastics Tour when it comes to town this fall!

1. Gabby Douglas - she is adorable and has an obvious excitement for the sport. Every time she performs, especially on floor, she's electric. Check out some of her awesome performances at the London Games here:






2. The US Women's Gymnastics gold medal win - the fab five sent a chill down our spines and warmed our hearts. And now we can't get enough gymnastics.





3. Aly Raisman's gold winning floor routine stole our hearts

PerfectTix Loves Events just as much as you do

One of the biggest questions we get down here at PerfectTix is if we like to go to as many events as it seems like we would go to. And the answer is simple: yes, we LOVE going to events! We love checking out the events that our customers love - because we want to have our finger on the pulse of what's important to you, the people we secure seats for. In fact, when someone emails or calls us to ask about tickets to a certain group that we're not familiar with, the first thing we do is put them on our stereo to check them out. If it's a band that's important to our customers, it's important to us too!

We love all things Minnesota: Gophers tickets, Vikings tickets, Wild tickets, Timberwolves tickets, Twins tickets...any and all of the above. We're big concert fans - especially when it comes to country music concerts.

What this does for you: It makes us experts on the events you want to attend. It gives us the ability to direct you to the type of seats that gives you the best value for your money. We can tell you about where in a stadium has the best sight lines and where to sit if you want to get a specific experience at a game or concert.

Basically, we want to be your expert advocate when you're looking for tickets. We make sure we're up on what's important to our customers and knowledgeable on the data that keeps you having a great time at every event!

The Summer Olympics are ALMOST here!

Down here at PerfectTix, we know that it's almost time for the summer Olympics to start - in fact, opening ceremonies are FRIDAY NIGHT! We're super excited for the summer games and know that all of our customers are, too. So - in honor of the opening ceremonies Friday night and the upcoming summer sports events we want to know: what's your favorite Olympics event? It doesn't have to be summer specific - it could be one of the winter games, if that's your gig. Tell us in the comments what YOUR favorite Olympic sport is and you can choose to receive either Neil Young's new CD Americana OR Madonna's new cd MDNA - it's that easy!

Our shortlist of Minnnesota events you need tickets to

We're over the halfway point of the summer at this point - can you believe it? Yeah, neither can we! But even though we're almost through the month of July, there are still a LOT of things we're looking forward to here at PerfectTix. Specifically things that we think ya'll need to grab some seats to! Here's our top five:

1. Twins tickets - yes, the team is pretty much OUT of the playoff race. But it's like that's given them a kick in the behind and the games have turned into interesting events again! Plus, there's nothing better than ballpark food...

2. KISS tickets at the State Fair: Where else will you see grown men parading around in facepaint and monster shoes?

3. Vikings tickets - for the pre-season, of course! They're traditionally the least expensive tickets of the year, which means you'll be able to bring your kids and not feel bad if they don't want to stay past halftime.

4. Rascal Flatts tickets - they're legendary and playing at the state fair. Can we say awesome, intimate concert please? Usually these guys hit up the big stadiums. It will be a nice change to see them at the Fair again - it's like they're going back to their roots!

5. Demi Lovato tickets - for the teenager in you. Or, you know, if you actually have a teeny bopper at home that wants to get out to a concert this summer!

PerfectTix and Madonna Tickets

Do YOU want your very own copy of the new Madonna CD? For FREE? Then you should be checking out the PerfectTix Facebook page because we're going to be giving away a TON of them in the next couple of weeks - just for liking us! And if you're a super Madonna fan, you should know that she's coming to town in October for a super concert at the Target Center. We have some pretty awesome seats to see this legendary artist - and she rarely comes to the Twin Cities so it's a concert you know you don't want to miss. Need help picking out great seats? Want them to be a surprise for the Madonna fan in your life? No problem! Give us a call at 612-524-5388 and we can help you out. Oh, and if you mention this post, we'll even throw in a free MDNA cd with your Madonna Tickets!

Ten Summer Concerts Our Customers Love

Down here at PerfectTix, we know that it's summertime - which means three things: baseball, hanging out by the pool and SUMMER CONCERTS.

There's just something about hitting up some awesome summer concerts that can make your summer amazing. And this summer is proving to be no different. Our customers have spoken and here are the TOP TEN concerts that people are clamoring for tickets to:

1. Brothers of the Sun tickets - Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw will be heating up the stage TOGETHER at Target Field. Not only is this concert hot because of the acts that will be on stage, it's also the FIRST live concert to ever take place at Target Field. Definitely a show you don't want to miss!

2. Blake Shelton tickets - Blake Shelton is one of the hottest names in country music AND one of the hottest names in live television right now with his role on "The Voice". He's coming to the State Fair Grandstand later this summer and his fans are STOKED!

3. Rascal Flatts tickets - This hot trio will be back to their roots - at the State Fair Grandstand - this summer in a showstopping performance that's already selling out. Fans of all ages are excited to check out this summertime MUST of a show.

4. Demi Lovato tickets - One of the hottest summer shows for teens and tweens, the State Fair will be overrun by her fans this summer when she's set to take the stage at the Grandstand. Surprise the Demi Lovato fan in your life with seats to the show of the summer!

5. KISS tickets - Between their awesome tour last year, steadfast fans and the Gene Simmons show on A&E, this show is again proving to be one of the most sought after of the summer. Don't miss out on all of the great music and people watching when KISS takes over the State Fair!

PerfectTix: what goes on here during the week

Down here at PerfectTix, we're always hard at work to bring you the best tickets at the best prices to all of your favorite events! But what ELSE do we do down here during the day while we're working?

We're often listening to music - and while country music dominates the airwaves, we also check out music from new bands and other groups that we sell tickets to. We like to be educated on the kind of music our customers like! We like to order lunch - we're big fans of Pizza Luce (it's right across the street!), Jimmy John's and all of the awesome local restaurants in downtown like 508, Black Sheep Pizza and more. We're always open to trying out new restaurants, so you should drop us a line: email us at brent@perfecttix.com if you have an awesome suggestion for a new lunch hotspot!

Twins vs. Brewers tickets at Target Field are HOT for June

It's a super stormy day down here in downtown Minneapolis! But I guess that storm season kind of goes hand in hand with the Minnesota summers, doesn't it? Regardless of the weather, we're hard at work down here at PerfectTix getting ready for a super exciting Twins vs. Brewers series this weekend! We can't wait for this big rivalry to play out on the grass at Target Field - and we know that there are a lot of Twins fans that are ready to get out and support the hometown team as well.

Pictures From The PerfectTix 5k

Did you know that PerfectTix sponsored our very first 5K about a week ago in Minnesota? Well, we did. All of the money raised went to help a friend of ours raise money for the Ragnar Relay, a race that benefits a very important charity that was founded in the Twin Cities: Bolder Options. We couldn't have been happier with the turnout, and our racers couldn't have been happier with the cool PerfectTix 5K shirts! Check out some of the pictures from the event below:

PerfectTix Loves the Minnesota Twins

Yes, there's a chance of snow this weekend. And yes, that means that it could be a little bit chilly down at Target Field. But that doesn't mean that you can't get out and enjoy a game! We love the Twins no matter what here at PerfectTix. Whether they win or lose, the thing is is that you're sure to have a blast down at Target Field. If it gets a little chilly, check out one of the bonfires or go into the concourse to grab a snack and people watch for a bit while you warm up. You'll probably be having so much fun bundling up in your Twins gear that you won't care what the weather brings, anyway!

We have awesome Twins tickets for every game on the Twins schedule. Whether you just want to get in the door or want, want to sit above the dugout or want to be in the VIP Champion's Club, we will get you taken care of. Great seats at competitive prices is what we're about at PerfectTix!
