New York events

New York sizzles with culture. At its core, the world's entertainment capital throbs with a relentless energy. The Big Apple boasts Broadway, neon billboards and bagel shops. Elsewhere in the "Empire State," cities like Buffalo and Albany are flourishing music and sports hubs. There's an abundance of sporting events all over the state that include teams like the New York Knicks or the Buffalo Bills. Even events that only happen a couple of days a year like the US Open for tennis attracts sports fans from all over the globe. There's definitely something for everyone in New York.

New York tickets

New York gave birth to various music genres. First came doo-wop, then disco, then hip-hop. The state doesn't have one "sound," but a confluence of musical movements. Punk, pop, soul, electronica - all of these genres made New York a musical nerve center. When it comes to entertainment variety, nowhere else in the United States comes close: visitors can watch classical music at the Metropolitan Opera, jazz at Village Vanguard and a pop concert at Madison Square Garden. Outside of New York City, Poughkeepsie and Long Island have sizeable alternative music scenes.

New York is home to hundreds of music festivals. Central Park SummerStage runs through the summer and features a roster of independent artists on the cusp of superstardom. Hot 97 Summer Jam, on the other hand, showcases big-name hip-hop and R&B acts. These New York concert tickets are always highly sought-after.

Sports lovers can watch the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium - one of the most famous venues in baseball - or the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. Fans of college sports should check out Albany Great Danes football at Bob Ford Field.
