Top seeds Kentucky (1), Tennessee (3), Mississippi St. (1) and Vanderbilt (2) all remain in the tournament. Fans expected these teams to make it deep into the tournament. So, unlike the other big conferences where many top seeds lost early and fans sold tickets, there aren’t the thousands of SEC Tournament Tickets available. This lack of ticket supply keeps prices higher than the other conference tournament championship games.
There are currently 1,500 SEC Tournament Tickets to the Sommet Center in Nashville. SEC Championship Game tickets start at $100 and average $431 each - more than double any other tournament championship game.

Searches for NCAA Tournament Tickets are increasing across the SEC. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi St. and Vanderbilt all expect invitations to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
Georgetown, Marquette, Notre Dame and West Virginia remain in the Big East Tournament (tickets). Top seeds, Syracuse and Pittsburgh lost earlier than their fans expected.

Big East Tournament Championship Game tickets are down $50 in just the last few days.

Six ACC teams - Duke, Maryland, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and Clemson seem to be locks — with Georgia Tech in, but on the bubble. If the Yellow Jackets lose to to UNC in the first round of the ACC Tournament (Tickets) at Greensboro Coliseum Complex - Arena in Greensboro, North Carolina, they likely won’t be dancing on selection Sunday. One more win is probably all Georgia Tech fans need before they start looking for NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament tickets.

“Glee tickets” has been one of the most popular ticket-search terms used on FanSnap since the fictional kids from McKinley High sang at the World Series. In the last few days, FanSnap has been abuzz with searches for “Conan O’Brien tickets” — since the former Tonight Show host began Twittering about taking his show on the road. There are currently hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of Glee Live tickets and Conan O’Brien tour tickets can currently be found with FanSnap.
That got us to thinking.
Both are less traditional tours birthed from television shows, albeit under very different circumstances. One is a brand new show with lots of buzz and and seemingly endless numbers of fans that can’t get enough of their singing. The other one of the longest running shows on television with a very public shake up.
Which tour will be more popular?
Both tours will be in New York within a few days of each other. Glee is performing three shows at Radio City Music Hall on May 28 and 29. Conan O’Brien will be performing at Radio City on June 1. There are three Glee Live! events, at Radio City in two days. Conan has one. Here’s how it breaks down.
Glee Live in New York
4,000 tickets available
Lowest price ticket = $90
Average price for a ticket = $220.
Conan O’Brien in New York
1,000 Conan O’Brien tickets available
Lowest price = $113
Average price for a ticket = $230.
The edge goes to O’Brien.

Conan O’Brien’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television tour is being billed as “A night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence.” Check here for Conan O’Brien tickets.
Some performers put out a press release or go on TV to announce a tour, but not late night TV funnyman, Conan O’Brien. Conan creates a Twitter account — http://twitter.com/conanobrien — and start tweeting. Conan’s first tweets were a few weeks ago. He starts off tweeting with some funny stuff about being unemployed and having time on his hands. Then, he decides to follow just one person on Twitter at random. By Conan following her and tweeting about her a few times, she gets 20k followers. (see video below)
