Thanksgiving week is a great time to get together with family and friends and there are many things you can all do together besides just sitting around and eating turkey. There are a number of great live holiday shows during the holidays throughout the country in theatres and arenas.

Some of the most popular are the theatre shows such as Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Wicked the Musical, The Jersey Boys, and White Christmas.

Mannheim Steamroller will be touring this holiday season, bringing their Christmas sounds and multimedia effects to the stage. This is the 25th Anniversary of the first Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album and they have sold over 356 million albums under the direction of Chip Davis. Mannheim Steamroller tickets are available for all the cities on the tour including the Gammage Auditorium, Nokia Theatre LA Live , and more.

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra have a unique Christmas sound as well, with a rock n roll over the top lazer light show to dazzle the audience. The Trans Siberian Orchestra may be a little too loud for some with the electric guitars, but most will enjoy the renditions of Christmas classics and original material. Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets can be purchased online for the HP Pavilion, Toyota Center, Allstate Arena and many more.

If it’s sports the family is interested in then there’s the three football games on Thanksgiving day with the Green Bay Packers vs the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, the Oakland Raiders vs the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboy Stadium and the New York Giants vs the Denver Broncos at Invesco Field. There are plenty of NFL tickets and games available for these games and the entire weekend.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets, Wicked the Musical tickets, the Jersey Boys tickets and White Christmas tickets are on sale now online.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be playing at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and there are still plenty of tickets available for all the concerts.

Bruce Springsteen

The best ticket prices for the cheap seats are available on Friday night, which has the most inventory of tickets on sale, followed by the Wednesday night show. There are no front row seats for the Springsteen tour since all of the floor seating is general admission, standing room only. But for several of the shows you can buy general admission Springsteen tickets for less than the face value at Ticketmaster.

With the high unemployment rate in the New Jersey area it’s no wonder ticket sales are down a bit, but that’s good for the consumer because now you can see a great concert by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at a discounted price. Bruce and the band will be back at Giants Stadium on October 8th and 9th, then over to the Wachovia Center on the 13th, 14th, 19th and 20th of October.

The U2 tour makes a stop at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia, this Wednesday, October 1st and like Springsteen the floor seats for U2 are all general admission and on sale for less than the face value of U2 Tickets at Ticketmaster, running $35 for general admission U2 tickets at the time of this post.

There are some very good seats available for U2 in the lower level near the stage, but if you want to stand in front of the stage, you better get there very early! You can catch U2 at the new Cowboy Stadium on October 12th, and the Rose Bowl on October 25th as well as a few other tour dates before they wind up the US portion of their tour.

The Dallas Cowboys will be playing the Carolina Panthers tonight at Cowboys Stadium for a NFL Monday Night Football game that will be testing quarterback Tony Romo once again.

Tony Romo

Without Terrel Owens this year, things are not going to be any easier for Tony, especially after last years playoff blowout that saw the Cowboys lose to the Philadelphia Eagles 44-6.

The Cowboys shouldn’t have too much trouble with the Panthers, who have lost their first two games and are putting up some of the worst stats in the league. But the Cowboys are playing at home on NFL Monday Night Football, and the loss of the first home game at the new Cowboy Stadium last week won’t go away anytime soon for Jerry Jones.

Dallas Cowboys tickets are on sale for all the home games at Cowboys Stadium and for any road game as well.

The Dallas Cowboys franchise is once again the most valuable team in US sports franchises with an estimated value of 1.65 Billion. And we can safely assume that does not include the new Cowboys Stadium which cost over a billion to construct.

Dallas Cowboys #1

The Washington Redskins are not far behind at just under 1.65 billion. The NFL team with the least value is the Oakland Raiders who are down again this year at 765 million, but what more can you expect from a team with their record and history of problems.

The average value of NFL teams is still over a billion, so even though eight of the teams saw a decline in value, they don’t seem to be worrying too much yet. The NFL is getting ready to kick off the new season on Thursday September 10th with the Tennessee Titans taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field

NFL tickets can be purchased for any home or away game at PreferredSeat.com, without any hidden fees or service charges.

The San Francisco 49ers aren’t sitting around waiting for Michael Crabtree and his agent Eugene Parker as they prepare for the first preseason game against the Denver Broncos at Candlestick Park next week. If the guy doesn’t have enough sense to realize he’s playing with bad cards, then why would the 49ers want him in the first place?

Frank Gore is ready!

And with next years talent coming out, who else would want a player that demands more than the 10th pick of the NFL draft deserves. It would be nice if the NFL would take the position the NBA did with rookie salaries and get rid of this problem for once and for all.

As far as those players that are ready to play, it looks like Frank Gore is in shape and fired up for the new season. He was quoted on 49ers.com, “I’m ready to play”. Gore looks to be in great shape and he has lost some weight to keep his energy up for the long season. Look for the 49ers to improve over last year, but just how much improved remains to be seen.

San Francisco 49er preseason tickets are on sale now for all of the 49er preseason games at discount prices and the regular season tickets for the San Francisco 49ers are on sale now also. including:

San Francisco 49ers vs Denver Broncos game on Friday August 14th,
49ers vs the Oakland Raiders on Saturday, August 22nd
