I love the backpack. I had a totebag style clear bad until we wore it out and then bought this one. I like it because it is easier to carry through crowds. Plus it has a couple of sections to organize things.

We buy most of our tickets through ticketmaster. I like the easy way to look at the stadium seating to pick the best seats. Also ticketmaster makes it easy to resell the tickets if something comes up and you can't go.
