CHICAGO, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Wicked was finally dethroned in May from its number one spot on TicketsNow's index of best selling events. The American Idols Live tour, with 6.30% of overall sales, was the top seller on TicketsNow. The tour is shaping up to be the biggest concert series of the summer, leading the concert category with 17.05% of sales.
"With American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and runner-up Katharine McPhee bringing their substantial fan bases, it is not a surprise that the concert series is an instant success," says Kenneth Dotson, Chief Marketing Officer for TicketsNow. "This show appeals to a wide variety of our customers." Wicked didn't fall far; it dominated the theater category with 36.72% of sales and maintaining the number two spot overall, with 5.85%. Monty Python's Spamalot also had a strong showing this month coming in at number two in the theater category with 10.17% of sales.
As the summer heats up, the drama of baseball season continues to build. Baseball teams occupy five of the top ten spots overall in the TicketsNow May Entertainment Index. The New York Yankees climbed to the number three spot overall, with 4.28% of sales and claimed the number one spot in the sports category from long time rival the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox dropped to the number two spot in sports in May and to fourth in overall sales.
The battle between pop and country still continues to be a close one in the concert category.
Tim McGraw edged out Madonna in May in the concert category behind the American Idols Live Tour. McGraw notched 7.87% of concert sales while Madonna came in third at 5.47%. The rest of the top 10 concert artists include Kenny Chesney, Shakira, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Dave Mathews Band, Jimmy Buffett, and Roger Waters.

"Every story I read about the Dixie Chicks mentions their show tickets being given away"
I'm sure they are feverishly re-negotisting their concession cut.
