The July 23rd Tom Petty show at the Target Center is turning out to be a hot ticket! I checked with local ticket broker Ticket King two weeks ago and they had about 150 tickets and now they have less than 50! That is unusual for a local broker to be so low on inventory on such a big show, but that just proves how popular this tour stop is going to be. Tom Petty 4th row on the Target Center floor is going to cost you $870 per ticket! Wow! If it were me, I would buy up those 21st floor tickets at $200 each before they sell out!
After a sparse showing for the Steve Miller Band, the Target Center is ready to rock to a packed house and Tom Petty will deliver! Buy Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tickets today!

Tom Petty comes to Target Center July 23rd
So, I’m pretty stoked that Tom Petty is coming to town (Heartbreakers will be in tow). I mean, Tom Petty is always cool, but add the fact that they’ve been together for the last 30 years and it makes it that much more of an event that I really want to be at. Who knows when they’ll tour again, you know? I’ve heard he does a great job at singing all those songs that everyone wants to hear. Songs like "Mary Jane’s Last Dance," "American Girl," "Free Fallin’," the list goes on and on. He does encores and he’s a rock star, without that ‘I’m-a-rock-star’ attitude; the kind of guy who would have a beer with you.
For such a great guy, he’s pulling a power move that I don’t care for. Apparently, the first twenty rows of the Target Center floor seats are considered ‘Fan Club’ seats and are only available to those people who are in his fan club. So, not only do you have to pay $40 per year to even be in the club, but the tickets you’ve purchased are will-call only, meaning you pay for them in advance and the night of the show, you are verified by your ID and then escorted to your seat, making it literally impossible for anyone else to enjoy that seat.
Personally, I would pay good money to be no more than 20 rows away from the legend, himself. But these entertainment promoters have us in a headlock; either pay $40 and maybe get a chance at your dream Tom Petty ticket, or sit further away. I think it’s another marketing scheme. I mean, I already buy the man’s albums and I would definitely plan on buying some merchandise at the concert (I love my band t-shirts). I think it’s just a scheme to get more money. I would rather pay that money to know that I’m getting the seats I really want.

Tom Petty at the Target Center
In the light of his Super Bowl XLII half-time performance on February 3rd, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have announced a summer 2008 tour. Tom Petty tickets for the Target Center show on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 went on sale Monday, February 4th – the day after Tom Petty’s Super Bowl performance. Tom Petty has some big shoes to fill after Prince’s performance at the half time show last year, but a performer like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will have no problem!
Tom Petty is touring in support of his last album, Highway Companion, which he did without the Heartbreakers. Although critically acclaimed and loved by fans, it is vast catalog of crowd favorites that keeps the fans coming back!
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be making a stop in every major city starting May 30th and continuing through the end of August. The last time Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were in town was in 2006 with Pearl Jam. In 2006 they played two consecutive nights at the Xcel Energy Center. Opening the show time around will be Steve Winwood, who in addition to a solo career, he has been a member of Traffic and the Go.
Although the concert is not until the end of the summer it’s best to get your Tom Petty tickets early – they are sure to be the hottest ticket in town – even in July!
