Madonna has just announced details for the Madonna 2012 World Tour, where you'll be able to see her and her guns up close. Tickets will be going on sale February 13th here in the States, and in New York, her big show will take place on September 6th at Yankee Stadium. Her Madgesty does love the sports as of late and has been known to support the Yankees. more ›

Madonna is expected to hit the road on a tour later this year—following her Super Bowl stint—in support of her upcoming release, titled MDNA (and yes, she knows that title sound an awful lot like a popular drug). Warming up the press machine, the performer told Newsweek in a recent interview that she's well worth the hundreds of dollars her fans will shell out to see her. Specifically, the 53-year-old star told her fans, "Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it." more ›

There are still six more solid months between us and the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, but that's nothing considering the hype started long ago. So naturally, when tickets went on sale for opening night (July 19th at midnight), those coveted IMAX tickets sold out immediately. Which means there's currently a lot of price gouging happening on Craigslist, with single tickets going for around 100 bucks. more ›

Fun fact that most renters don't realize? Property owners can (and frequently are) ticketed for the litter outside their buildings. And what offends a ticketing sanitation cop can include furniture and sometimes, as in the case of Queensman Raymond Janson, trash cans out for pick ups. Hey, people gotta make their (totally not real) quotas somehow! more ›

Chances are, if you bought tickets from event Leviathan Ticketmaster from October 21, 1999 (DAVE, bro!) through October 19, 2011 (RADIOHEAD, bro!) you paid an Order Processing Fee. If so, you may be entitled to a taste of the recent settlement of a class action lawsuit against the company. Sure, Ticketmaster admits no wrongdoing, and the settlement only gives you a discount of $1.50 apiece for up to 17 future purchases, totaling around $11 million plus $16.5 million in legal costs. But at least they've learned their lesson: if they're going to make money off fees, they have to tell us about it. See? The system works. more ›

Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum went mostly off the grid for over a decade following the 1998 release of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, a move that may have made him even more of a legendary figure in the music scene, even if that wasn't the outcome he was going for. The mysterious musician would pop up now and again at his friend's shows over those years, eventually easing himself back into the public eye with his own smaller shows. Then last month he played at Town Hall. Mangum was noticeably uncomfortable in the venue, asking the house lights to be turned on and for the audience to sing along, in an effort to make the experience "more human." So it was somewhat surprising that he's going back on the road, announcing new tour dates. more ›

Earlier this week we reported that a city councilman was going to attempt to make ticket buying more fan friendly. Yesterday morning, councilman Dan Garodnick held the first hearing on what we'll call, for now, The Radiohead Law (since that band's concerts in New York last month are what inspired him). He Tweeted from the hearing yesterday, "One witness talks about the difficulty of getting Knicks tickets. Knicks games these days are trying enough!" more ›

Want to sit next to your pals at the big concert? Or stalk the guy you like offline? Well now Ticketmaster will let you do those things! The company has teamed up with Facebook, and starting today you can buy tickets via an interactive seating chart, which shows where your Facebook friends are sitting. more ›

Over the past five years the city has been adding more and more red-light cameras to our intersections. We're up to 150 of them in the city now, and that number could go up again. The Daily News got ahold of records that shows that the cameras—which auto ticket drivers who blow through reds without needing a cop on hand—are turning into a steady cash cow for the state and Albany wants more. more ›

Got the end-of-weekend blues? Well here's a cycling story that's sure to imbue you with enough self-righteousness and indignant rage to make you forget your troubles: a cyclist is complaining about receiving $1,500 in fines for running red lights. "It's absurd," pedicab driver Juan Rodriguez tells the Daily News, referring to his miserable luck in getting three red light tickets, despite the fact that 30 people probably ran a red light in NYC by the time you finish reading this sentence. "When you look at the fines leveled and the actual offenses, it makes no sense." more ›

With future Mayor Alec Baldwin and merry dancers Radiohead scheduled to host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 24, we're actually excited about SNL for once! We even kind of wouldn't mind seeing it in person...except that it's notoriously tough getting tickets (especially when one works on Saturdays), with the 7 a.m. lines and all. However, there's a little loophole that can possibly save us (and you) an early morning wake up. more ›

Good news for fans of sitting near playgrounds without children! Back in June we told you about four twentysomethings who were ticketed by the police because they were sitting, eating doughnuts, in a Bed-Stuy playground unaccompanied by children. Two months later at least half of those tickets have been dismissed and sealed. Meanwhile in Manhattan, at least, it seems that cops are giving elderly women warnings about where they are sitting rather than tickets. Oh, and the Parks Department seems to understand that their signage can be a little confusing if placed in the wrong spot. more ›

Oh the sweet, sweet smell of schadenfreude: as if the ticket-fixing scandal being investigated through the whole city and scaring cops out of writing traffic tickets weren't enough, it turns out that NYPD officers themselves owe approximately $1 million in unpaid parking tickets, according to the News. And the majority of those stem from the Internal Affair investigation into parking placard abuse. more ›

Here's a shudder-inducing new partnership destined to (further) destroy the music industry: Ticketmaster has announced a partnership with Walmart to sell tickets at some of its stores, including ones right here in New York—the AV/Club believes the deal may have formed in the bowels of Hell. more ›

It's the end of the month, which means it's time for the NYPD to get cracking on filling those ticket quotas which have been lying around all month. Can't just keep going after dead people, sometimes you gotta get them while they're still breathing! To that end, a reader wrote us that cops have been pulling over cars on the Williamsburg Bridge for the past two days to give tickets to people with tinted windshields. Read his account below: more ›

Never forget...to beef up your servers. That's the message the cash-strapped 9/11 Memorial and Museum learned this morning when it let the public at its new ticket reservation system. "Due to a large volume of requests, some people are unable to come into the site and make reservations," memorial spokesman Michael Frazier said today. "But many people have been able to get in." more ›

The police may not be ticketing for smoking in the parks, but they are still ticketing parker visitors for crimes like...eating a doughnut in a playground. Yup, this weekend the police gave two young women in Bed-Stuy summonses for eating doughnuts in a playground while unaccompanied by a minor. more ›

In response to the record-breaking number of summonses for bicyclists this year, as well as the NYPD's reluctance to release the data on the cycling crackdown, Transportation Nation have crowd-sourced a map of the locations where cyclists have gotten tickets, and what for. Take a closer look at it below. more ›
