The Ticket to Great Gift Ideas for Dads and Grads Navigation: Main page » Holidays and Celebrations Author: ARA (ARA) - Finding the perfect gift for the person who simply has everything is enough to drive you crazy. But sometimes, the gift that makes the most lasting impression isn't something they can hold in their hands - it's an experience they'll never forget. Giving an experience - such as tickets to see their favorite band or sporting event - taps the recipient's interests. And, it allows the giver to prolong the enjoyment of the gift-giving process by participating in the experience with the giftee, if they so desire. "Tickets tell the recipient you took the time to find out what he or she likes, and went to the trouble to get your hands on them," remarks Mike Janes, vice president, marketing for online ticket marketplace StubHub.com. "How many times can you give dad that necktie or wallet?" Here are some of the summer's best experiences for virtually everyone on your gift list: * Music - The Police, one of rock music's most influential groups have reunited and are touring extensively this summer for the first time in over 20 years. Dads who saw them the first time around or grads that have never had the chance will love it, Janes says. * Sports - "MLB Baseball is in full swing by graduation and Father's Day. It's the best ticket value on StubHub.com so deals are aplenty," Janes says. "If you live in a market where the NBA or NHL playoffs are happening that can be a great choice for a very memorable event." * Theater - The hit Broadway musical Wicked is touring the country in 2007 and is one of the most critically acclaimed shows in years. Monty Python's Tony-Award winning Spamalot is also on a nationwide tour throughout the year. Both of these are can't miss gifts for the theater lover. Thanks to the Internet, it's easier than ever to score tickets to highly sought-after or sold out events. Web sites like StubHub.com allow gift-givers to get their hands on tickets for virtually any sporting event, concert or theater performance imaginable. StubHub acts as a trading ground where people who have coveted tickets - for more than 20,000 events ranging from the NBA Finals to the Tonight Show - can connect with those who are eager to buy them. "These are regular folks who've been lucky enough to come by tickets they don't need, want or can't use, and who are interested in selling them to the people who do want them," Janes says. StubHub guarantees every online purchase. Because the tickets up for sale on the site are being sold by private parties, buyers can often find tickets for shows that have been sold out for months. Seats range from front row to "nosebleed" and prices encompass rock bottom bargains to big-ticket VIP experiences. To learn more, visit www.StubHub.com. Courtesy of ARA content
