Bonds:Home-Run King?

We are surrounded by insurmountable opportunity." For Pogo fans (circa 1973!) and Barry Bonds fans, this may describe the hiatus that Bonds finds himself in at the moment. It's been nine days since his last home run. It may be insignificant, but one has to wonder if he's getting tired--or his boundless belief in himself and his ability is foundering.

Looking at recent games, he's hit balls, been walked, and has done his job. The big draw for the Giants, however, is the likelihood that he'll match and break Hank Aaron's career home run record. Other younger players are coming along who will certainly break that record one day, but it's Bonds' goal to do it before them . . .

US OPEN TENNIS

The US Open is not only one of the biggest events in tennis but all of sports. Every year, Flushing, NY plays host to the two week long event which attracts the biggest names in tennis and hundreds of thousands of tennis crazy fans. Dates for the U.S. Open Tennis event is August 27 - Sept. 9.


Watch the tennis matches with great tickets at Arthur Ashe Stadium which seats approximately 23,200 as well as the outside courts like Louis Armstrong Stadium which seats approximately 10,200. The grandstand stadium seats apprximately 6,000 and seating here is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Walk down the famous boardwalk off the 7 train to the US Open.
U.S. Open tennis tickets are always tough to find but PlatinumTickets.com specializes in tough tickets and we will have a great selection of seats for the 2007 U.S. Open. The fourth and final leg of the tennis Grand Slam, the US Open (which now features blue courts instead of green) has grown to rival Wimbledon tickets as the most important tennis tickets in the world. The 2006 US Open featured the debut of instant replay and player challenges in a Grand Slam event, although unfortunately that came a bit late for John McEnroe, who surely would have appreciated it. If you had U.S. Open tickets for 2006 you would have seen some world class tennis with Andre Agassi making a heroic last stand before losing in the third round and then Roger Federer defeating Andy Roddick in the men's final while Maria Sharapova took care of Justine Henin-Hardene on the women's side. You won't want to miss out on 2007 U.S. Open tennis tickets, so make sure you check with PlatinumTickets.com first.

For many years the main venue at the USTA Tennis Center was Louis Armstrong Stadium, but in 1997 the facility was updated and the new 23,000-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium opened featuring luxury suites, five restaurants and many other amenities. If you want the best Arthur Ashe Stadium tickets and US Open tennis tickets, including courtside seats, PlatinumTickets.com will have them for you.

With a history dating back to 1881, the U.S. Open has been a showcase of champions over the years with stars like Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and most recently three-time defending champion Roger Federer. In the women's bracket, Serena and Venus Williams have combined for four titles in recent years but a new crop of stars like Kim Clijsters, Amelie Mauresmo, Lindsay Davenport and 2006 champ Maria Sharapova have emerged to challenge the Williams sisters. If you want to be there to see it live and in person in 2007, get your US Open tickets from PlatinumTickets.com.

Minnesota Repeals Scalping Law

On August 1, the likes of Tom Petty and other artists will no longer have to hide the fact that they’re scalping tickets to their own shows in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty Monday signed into law a bill that repealed the state’s 94-year-old anti-scalping law, after it had received overwhelming support from state legislators.

The move comes at a critical time in the secondary ticket industry. Minnesota is one in a wave of states that recently repealed – or are considering repealing – their outdated anti-scalping laws, because legislators are realizing the laws are largely unenforceable in the Internet age. . . . While some have argued that repealing the law will drive ticket prices higher, most echo the sentiments of Minnesota State Rep. Phyllis Kahn who told Minnesota Star Tribune newspaper that the old anti-scalping law represented “the worst kind of socialist interference with the free market.”

Last year, Petty and Ticketmaster cancelled 500 pre-sale tickets to the performer’s Xcel Energy Center concerts in St. Paul after the fan club-issued tickets popped up on secondary ticket websites. But, Petty was among the artists who sanctioned the resale of tickets to the shows through the website Fanfire.com. Tickets on www.Fanfire.com were reselling for upwards of $200.
