HOTTEST TICKETS

TICKETS 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. These are the 10 best shows of the season, along with a "sideshow" alternate for each, in case you just can't snag a ticket.1.
