Yankees World Series Tickets Online

Yankees to sell limited number of World Series tickets online begining Wednesday
Sensing that the club's first trip to a World Series in six years could be on the horizon, the Yankees announced on Tuesday that they will be selling a 'limited number' of World Series tickets beginning on Wednesday on Yankees.com beginning at 10 a.m.

Here are the details, direct from the Bronx:

A limited number of tickets for 2009 World Series games at Yankee Stadium will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, October 21 at 10:00 a.m. Tickets will be sold online only at yankees.com from the start of Wednesday's on-sale until 9:00 a.m. on the date of the Yankees' first scheduled World Series home game.

Subject to availability, tickets can be purchased online at yankees.com and at Yankee Stadium Advance Ticket Windows beginning at 9:00 a.m. on the date of the Yankees' first scheduled World Series home game.

Please note that World Series tickets will not be available for purchase at Yankees Clubhouse Shops, Ticketmaster outlet locations or via phone sales.

Tickets purchased via the Internet for Yankee Stadium World Series Game 1 and Game 2 must be purchased utilizing "print at home" technology. There will be no option for Will Call or express shipping for Game 1 and Game 2.

Garth Brooks Vegas

Garth Brooks headed to Vegas, baby

Garth Brooks fans rejoice! He's heading to Vegas.

Family guy and country superstar Garth Brooks will launch a five-year residency of weekend-only shows at the Encore Theater in Las Vegas.
Brooks and Steve Wynn, chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts, announced their partnership at a press conference in the theater Thursday afternoon.
Tickets for the concerts, which will cost $125 - not the typical $25 for a Brooks concert - for the first five weekends go on sale on Oct. 24. The first show is scheduled for Dec. 11.
Tickets are first-come-first-serve and special "evasive actions" are being taken to avoid scalping, said Wynn.
The show will be a one-man show - just Brooks and his guitar - including the occasional special guest, which will likely include his wife, Trisha Yearwood, from time to time.
Garth will perform on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only, for 15 weekends each year. That's a special arrangement to accommodate promises he made to his three daughters - now ages 17, 15 and 13 - to be a stay-at-home father.
"I confess, I had to buy him a jet plane," Wynn said, explaining how Brooks will be able to travel back and forth so quickly between Vegas and his home in Oklahoma.
Brooks said he took up Wynn's offer to come out of retirement because Wynn took his family into account in making his offer.
"He's taken care of my children, he's taken care of my wife, he's taken care of (ex-wife) Sandy," Brooks said.
The country star said that fans should not expect any new music or any new tour from him until his youngest daughter is in college, and that Vegas is the only place people will be able to see him perform until then.
He said his personal life isn't going to change much in the next five years except that "I'm going to get to play my music."
Said Wynn: "This is Garth Brooks' home
