Garth Brooks set up a series of 9 concerts in Nashville, TN to benefit the victims of the recent flood in Tennessee.  Garth Brooks is one of the most popular country stars so it is not surprising in the least that these shows sold out quickly.  What is quite surprising is that even though these shows are sold out, Garth Brooks tickets are selling for as little as $2 on the secondary market.  This is a best of both worlds scenario for the charity benefit concert, tickets were sold out so Brooks raised over $3.5 million for the flood victims and all of Garth Brooks' fans can go see him perform for only a couple of bucks.

The New Kids on the Block Backstreet Boys joint tour for Summer 2011 has potential to be epic.   Tickets to see the two boy band all-stars perform together went on sale this weekend and it looks like there are still a few tickets available as of 11/22.  The NKOTBSB Summer Tour features all of the original members of the respects bands except  for former Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson who will be absent from collaborative tour.  New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys performed yesterday as the closing act of the American Music Awards and showed off a nice little preview of what we can expect out of the NKOTBSB Tour.  There are currently only six dates scheduled but hopefully they will expand the tour to include more cities.
