No plans for the weekend? Go to a show. Go see the big game. Even for so-called sold out events, as the big day approaches more tickets become available and prices start to go down.
Why? Because once the show has started, those tickets are worthless? The same tickets to a hot-hot-hot Broadway show that could cost as much as $300 each through a ticket broker several weeks before the event might be available for the same day or next day at a price well below face value. Ditto for concerts and sporting events.
If you have no plans tonight, tomorrow night or next weekend – surf around and see what’s available in your area. And if you’re about the head off on a last minute get-away… Take a surf and see what’s happening at your destination.
And if you’re wondering how you’d actually get your hand on those tickets if you need to use them tonight or tomorrow? No worries. You’ll most likely be able to pick up your tickets at or near the box office.

Whether you’re a north sider or a south sider. A Sox fan or a Cubs fan. If you live in Chicago you’re pretty excited right now. And you’re getting ready for a really big game. Or seven. North side or south side, Sox and Cubs fans agree on very little – except that Abt Electronics is the place to shop for appliances, home entertainment, electronics and more. And it has been for over 70 years. That’s almost as long as it’s been since the Cubs and White Sox both made it into post season play in the same year!
Especially this week!

North side. South side. It doesn’t matter. If you’re from Chicago, you’ve probably never dared to dream of a Cubs/Sox World Series during your lifetime. After all, if you’re a Chicagoan you can barely dare to dream of your own team making the playoffs – forget about the cross town rivals!
Well this might just be the year. For the first time in over a century, but the Cubs and the White Sox have made it into post-season play.
There’s excitement in the air and die-hard and fair-weather fans are joined together in their love of their team.
And despite the cross town rivalry, Cubs fans and Sox fans are joined together too – by their love of the game and their love of this great city.
I just can’t believe it! Could this really be the year?

Usually most energy bars pretending to be candy aren’t very successful as either. Many people (myself included) find them overpoweringly heavy on artificial sweeteners. Truth be told, they’re often not that high in electrolytes either. I recently discovered these new power beans. They’re made by Jelly Belly and although I won’t say that they taste the same as the non-nutritional originals, but these sport beans are quite tasty and extremely refreshing and energizing.
Definitely worth a try. Refill your Energy with Sport Beans from Jelly Belly!

Imagine – enjoying the Superbowl in a luxury suite. With 19 of his nearest and dearest friends. And a catered football feast.
Did you know that there are actually entire luxury suites available for the biggest game of the year? I had no idea. And don’t worry if a the ‘dinner and a game for 20′ package is out of your price range. There are lots of other seats available, too. It’s a Valentine that he’d NEVER forget.

If you’re looking for a fun and memorable baby gift, I love the idea of teeny-tiny team jerseys and gear. A gift like this is especially perfect for a new addition a family of die hard fans, but it’s also a fun way to pay tribute to the new parents’ college days or home towns.
And for all those new grandparents, aunts and uncles – this is a great way to start the indoctrination early, especially if there’s a little intra-family fan rivalry to be nurtured!

I can’t believe I am sitting down at my computer to write something about sports – but here I am! For those of you who are interested in the subject, I’m glad to have hit on something that brings you to my site. For those of you who are not, never fear, I can’t imagine I’ll be waxing poetic about the Superbowl when the time comes. The truth is I don’t really care about sports very much. If I attend a pro game of any kind, I’m generally more excited about the hot dogs than anything else. But when pushed for an answer, I will identify myself as a White Sox fan.
And I guess that I really am. I was raised by a die hard second generation Sox fan who had no doubt that his children would grow up to be die hard third generation Sox fans. “No daughter of mine will ever set foot in Wrigley Field” was something I heard regularly from my father when I was growing up. The burglar alarm code in our childhood home was “1959″. Why? Need you ask? The year the Sox won the pennant! In my adult life I have generally remained ignorant of the events of baseball season - with the single possible exception of the game schedule’s impact on traffic. Until 2005, that is. No, I am not a fair weather, jump on the bandwagon poser fan. But I found myself inexplicably drawn to the Sox that summer. By July, I was hooked. By August, I was obsessed. I knew all the players’ numbers and posiitions. I watched every inning of every post season game. I screamed and yelled. I jumped up and down. Halfway through the playoffs, I lost my voice. I rearranged all my televisions for the World Series. I invited people over for nearly every game and served a full buffet of stadium foods every night. I cried when they won. World Series Champions. I cried a lot. I was a true Sox fan.
As all this was happening, I kept making comments to myself like: This is so weird. Why are you so into this? You hate sports on television. And then – why are you crying? The morning after it was all over I understood why. I found myself compelled to bring a pennant to the cemetery for my Dad. And I wasn’t alone. There were loads of other people there doing the same thing. As I’m sure there are each fall, in the home town of the new World Champions.
I learned to love the Game that year. I loved the Game for my Dad. Because he didn’t get to see it. I loved it the way he would have. I loved it like it was in my blood. Because it is. Since then I find myself attracted to Sox memorabilia and logowear. I used to think that kind of stuff was silly. Now I get it. It’s part of who I am. It’s where I come from. If you know someone who was raised in a family of fans and are stumped for a gift, consider the gift of childhood fandom. Coffee mugs and pens make great stocking stuffers and have the bonus of practicality. Many teams even offer licensed items featuring past logos, just like way back when… Tickets are a great choice, especially if you plan on going to the game, too. And especially if the team in question is doing well. And even if the’re not. Win or lose, what ever you choose, the gift of retro-fandom is sure to strike a sweet, nostalgic chord with the recipient.

We’ve all got a serious sports fan or two on our gift lists. It’s a great idea to get that shopping done early. You have a pretty good idea of what you want to get. It’s pretty easy to find a gift that will thrill. Just memorialize the team, right? No reason to procastinate.
Well, here’s another reason to do that fan shop shopping early. Take $10 off purchases of $100+ at FansEdge through Nov. 19

As we like to say here at the savvy shopping blog, there’s no such thing as a sold out show. You just need to know where to shop.
Even the hardest to get seats for the hottest ’sold-out’ shows like Hannah Montana are readily available from reputable ticket brokers. No risk. No worries. You know exactly what seats you’re getting and exactly what you’ll pay. And the prices are often lower than you’d think. Particularly as the event date draws even closer. If you know someone who’s DYING to attend a particular concert, play or sporting event – let your fingers do the surfing. You have nothing to lose.

And plenty of chances to catch a game. Or two. Yankees. Mets. Cubs. White Sox. Red Sox. Where ever you might be and which ever team you might favor, you can just about ALWAYS get a seat.
Never fear, even if your team is in first place (which mine is not) there are seats available through brokers. In fact, the closer it gets to game day and time, the easier it often gets to find good seats for a decent price. Make sense, when you think of it. Once the game has started those tickets are pretty much worthless. Most brokers have a representative at or very near the ball park so you can easily get your tickets without having to make a special trip. Love that!
Play ball!
