Give the Gift of Entertainment

Looking for a unique holiday gift that will generate more enthusiasm than the tie or the scarf you gave last year? Consider giving tickets to a coveted entertainment or sporting event this year.

Giving tickets is an easy yet personalized way to take care of just about everyone on your gift list this holiday season. Whether the recipient is a fan of opera, a football fan or a theater buff, you can do all your shopping online at GottaHavetickets.com.

This easy-to-use Web site gives you access to the most popular and hard to get tickets in major cities across the country, from Broadway to L.A. Normally, it would be a hassle to buy tickets for someone who doesn't live in the same city. But GottaHaveTickets makes it easy. All you need to know is a little about the recipient's taste in music, favorite sports team or whether they prefer opera to comedy.

Then, go online at www.GottaHaveTickets.com and check out the great variety of tickets available. For example, does your cousin love country music? Simply go to the concert section, choose "country/folk" and you'll see a list of musicians currently on tour, along with the cities and dates they'll be performing. You'll then be directed to a page where you can inquire about tickets for a particular venue.

Is someone on your list a NASCAR fan? Or maybe they'd rather paint their faces green and yellow and head to a Packers game. Make their holiday special with tickets to their favorite sporting event.

The site also lets you buy tickets to the hottest shows in Vegas and on Broadway. If someone on your holiday list has been very good this year, make the entertainment part of a larger gift. Give tickets to a popular Broadway play or Vegas show along with plane tickets and hotel reservations. You can find it all on GottaHaveTickets.com.

Closer to home, consider a gift of tickets plus a gift certificate for dinner. Even less expensive, but just as appreciated, would be an offer to babysit while the lucky ticket holder heads to the game.
