My Top 3 New Year’s Tickets at StubHub.com

2006 is in its darkling corpuscular hour, and I thought I’d take a moment to cue you all in to those best shows you should sneak in before the year goes out, especially if you’re a James Brown fan, in which case you should groove your way into 2007. With James. So, for your consideration, my top 3 StubHub New Years shows. Please to enjoy:
1: Top of my list is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, of course, if only because of the seasonality of it all. They’re best known for their dominating stylistic interpretations of classical Christmas songs, so ’tis the season. Quite appropriately as well, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour ends on the December 30th show in Washington DC’s Verizon Center. An anthemic end to 2006.

2: Bob Seger is playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Minnesota on December 30th, where the show begins at 8 PM. He’ll be playing, as on the rest of his tour, with his long-time compatriates Chris Campbell, the Alto Reed saxophones, Craig Frost, Mark Chatfield, Shaun Murphy, and Laura Creamer. His tour is currently slated to run until the end of February, and his ever-American rock/blues show is a great way to round off the year.

And Number 3: James Brown. The legend. Is playing at the B.B. King Bar & Grill in Manhattan on New Year’s eve. (This is a testament to StubHub’s ability to get hard-to-find tickets.) And at the time of press, there are only four tickets to be had. At $136 a pop, these are as cheap a ticket as you’ll get into any bar if you’re lucky/unlucky enough to be in NYC for New Year’s, so jump on the James Brown tickets now.

And of course there are countless other shows going on before the year makes its way into the history books for good, so find a good deal to your favorite band in a city nearby on StubHub.com’s general concert tickets directory, where you can search A-Z for fan-sold tickets to that show you’ve been putting off all year.
