Ticket America Has Your Jay-z Tickets

His is a household name in the United States and around the world and even those who aren't fans can sing some of the lyrics to his popular songs because they ring through with words of truth about growing up with hard knocks and having 99 problems. Known to the world as Jay-Z, husband of super celebrity Beyonce, Sean Carter is a power figure like the world has never known. Recipient of more awards for his music than time will allow to mention, endorsed by Reebok with the RBK S. Carter shoe line, the list goes on and on for this one-man show that puts the world on notice with hard core lyrics that defy auto tune made sounds.

Also the business man, Jay-Z is the founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Roc-A-Fella Films, Rocawear, Armadale and the 40/40 Club. With more than 33 million albums sold to date, Jay-Z was quoted as having retired but seems to be giving no indication of slowing down or stopping the jams that just keep coming year after year. Jay-Z is also a philanthropic with the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, Annual Jay-Z Santa Claus Toy Drive and Team Roc; the last of which is a charitable organization that helps underprivileged children from New York City.

Jay-Z and singing sensation Alicia Keys recently performed at Game 2 of the 2009 World Series to a packed house in New York. Baseball fans were treated to more than just an awesome game as Keys and Jay-Z rocked the house. Regarded by many as a unique performer, entertainer, and accomplished business man, there's little you can say about Jay-Z that isn't good. Jay-Z has been the first hip hop artist to meet with Prince Charles and is also the first artist to perform a full-length concerts on live television with his special in 2003 on Showtime.

Getting concert tickets to a Jay-Z tour event can be more than a bit challenging, as has been the case in the past. His Jay-Z and Friends Tour features greats like R. Kelly, Snoop, P. Diddy, Redman, Foxy Brown, T.I., Method Man, Ja Rule, Mary J. Blige and Pharell. Entitled "Best of Both Worlds", this tour was nothing short of phenomenal. Rock The Mic Tour was next in 2003 and sold out consistently around the country. Musical greats featured on this tour included Busta Rhymes, Sean Paul, Missy Elliot and 50 Cent.

The Sprite Liquid Mix Tour was a complete success its first year with Jay-Z as headliner and completely sold out. Performing on the tour with Jay-Z were musical entertainers Hoobastank, The Roots and N.E.R.D. The Blueprint Lounge Tour was a sold out event as well but Jay-Z's most successful hip-hop tour event to date has been the Hard Knock Life Tour. Reaching out to 52 cities across the U.S., the Hard Knock Life Tour featured artists DMX, Memphis Bleek, Method Man, Beanie Siegel, Ja Rule and Redman. The Hard Knock Life Tour gave birth to the behind the scenes DVD "Backstage".

With so much of the road of accomplishment already under his belt with tours, records, businesses, marriage, interviews and more, many question what Jay-Z will do to amaze us next since he has crossed so many boundaries and barriers. One thing is for certain however and that's that anytime Jay-Z chooses to hit the road, the tickets are quickly snatched up and the tours are well worth the price and the way to get to a live performance by this unmistakably top shelf hip hop artist. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy his next tour by securing your concert tickets right away.
