HOTTEST TICKETSTICKETS are expensive, crowds are a hassle, the restrooms are a biohazard and the grub at the concessions would probably be healthier if it was actually made with grubs. None of that matters when the lights dim and that special song sends primal chills down your spine.You don't get that thrill sitting watching music on TV or listening on your iPod. You gotta be there.This summer, there is right here in Skyscraper Park, with more than 100 major acts ready to rock.

No Jay-Z and Mrs. Z? They haven't been announced, but I'd bet my vinyl copy of "Reasonable Doubt" that Jay and his bride will do the Jam.Sideshow: It's hard to resist Alicia Keys at MSG on June 18.
