The BCS National Championship is set for January 7th at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and if you don’t already have your ticket, be prepared for to open your wallet. BCS tickets are currently going for over $650 each just to get an upper end zone seat. For the best BCS tickets on the 50 yard line you’re looking at over $1200 each.

And before you shell out that kind of cash you better make sure you’re going to get the tickets you ordered and get them in time. You can try Stubhub or Ticketsnow, but they have a tough time guaranteeing the exact seats will get to you on time, if at all. Because they have to contact the season ticket holder, hope he has not already sold them, and pray he runs right down to Fedex to get them shipped to you before the game.

A better bet would be to try a ticket broker with a great Better Business Bureau record. Since Stubhub and Ticketsnow get most of their tickets from ticket brokers it only makes sense to buy direct and save the extra markup. And ticket brokers can communicate directly with other brokers and guaranteed the tickets are shipped out on time.

Some ticket brokers such as PreferredSeat.com will also email the tracking information to you so you know exactly when your tickets will arrive. You just can’t beat the customer service of a good ticket broker over the poor communication you get from large corporate ticket sellers and a good ticket broker will be familiar with the events and venues, where a salesperson at Stubhub wouldn’t have a clue.

There’s still time to order your tickets to the BCS National Championship and you can sure you are getting what you order, on time, when you buy your BCS tickets from a reliable ticket broker such as PreferredSeat.com.

Many times we are asked the question; What are the best seats for Wicked the Musical? Can you see the production better from the orchestra seats, the loge or the balcony seating?

For most of the venues that Wicked the Musical will be performing at this year the answer will be the same, about 5-15 rows from the stage in the center orchestra section. Many people prefer this location so they can see the details and expressions of the actors better.

The loge or mezzanine sections, which are the elevated sections that overhang the orchestra section give a great overall view as well, and usually have more head clearance so you can see over the person in front of you easier. Though the elevated sections set you back further from the stage, you don’t find yourself moving your head from side to side as much to take in all the action on the stage.

The center sections of the orchestra and balconies have the best view of the stage, but seats in the side sections that are not all the way to the right or left can still give a good view of the entire stage. The poorest viewing is from the balcony seats, especially from the last rows, but they are also the most affordable Wicked tickets available.

Wicked the Musical is currently on sale for the Gershwin Theatre in New York, the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco and more than a dozen venues across the country. Wicked Tickets on sale soon include the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans on January 9th, and the Adrienne Arsht Center and Durham Performing Arts Center on January 15th 2010.

Cheap tickets are on sale now for the Nick Jonas and the Administration tour that hits the House of Blues in Dallas this weekend and for much of the upcoming Nick Jonas tour dates.

Ticket prices for Nick Jonas were much higher several weeks ago, but supply has outstripped demand and Nick Jonas and the Administration tickets have plummeted as the concerts get closer.

Multiple dates at many of the venues including the Beacon Theatre, Tower Theatre and The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles have added to the abundance of tickets and Nick Jonas fans can now get tickets at great prices.
