Still not sure what to get the special man in your life this Father’s Day? Don’t settle for a lackluster item when the gift of entertainment is so much better. From taking in a ball game to rocking out at a concert, we’ve got tickets to all the events he’s sure to love. Here’s our foolproof Father’s Day gift ideas to please any dad.
MLB Games
It’s convenient that Father’s Day falls in the thick of baseball season, particularly for those dads who are regulars at the ballpark. Ticket Club has got you covered with tickets to every game across the league this season, so why not take him out to the ball game? Several ballparks are celebrating Father’s Day by offering a variety of giveaways for all dads in attendance, making him feel even more appreciated. For those doting dads who are baseball fanatics, take it up a notch and treat him to a special event, like this year’s MLB All Star Game in July or the August 11 Giants-Pirates game that will feature the official retirement ceremony for Barry Bonds’ No. 25 jersey.
NFL Games
Father’s Day may fall months before the NFL season begins, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to snag tickets to a game. The season kicks off Thursday, September 6, featuring the newly crowned Super Bowl champs Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Falcons at home. Treating dad to a day at the stadium to see his favorite team is the gift that will not disappoint, and the league’s full schedule of games can be found here. There’s plenty of intriguing match-ups on the docket throughout the season, including annual Thanksgiving games between the Bears vs. Lions, Redskins vs. Cowboys and Saints vs. Falcons.
The Eagles
These California rockers are more than likely to appear on many dad’s music playlists. Luckily, they’re in the midst of a massive North American tour that is one of the most popular treks this year. While they are now without founding member and vocalist Glenn Frey, who passed away in 2016, The Eagles still know how to put on a great show. Their reconfigured lineup features Vince Gill and Frey’s son Deacon, along with longtime members Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. Joining the rockers on select dates of their cross-country trek are special guests like Jimmy Buffett, Chris Stapleton, James Taylor, Zac Brown Band and the Doobie Brothers.
Billy Joel
The Piano Man is a perennial favorite for many music-loving dads, and a ticket to one of his stand-out concerts makes for a flawless Father’s Day gift. Billy Joel continues his record-breaking residency at Madison Square Garden, which will hit the 100th show mark on July 18. However, Joel will also make stops at historic venues like Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Kauffman Stadium throughout the summer, proving that you don’t always have to be in a New York state of mind to see the Piano Man in concert.
Bob Seger
Dads who are fans of Bob Seger and that old time rock and roll are in luck. Seger and his Silver Bullet Band announced new tour dates set to begin this fall and run through early 2019. The rocker, now 73, abruptly postponed his Runaway Train Tour last year after experiencing back pain that led to surgery. Despite his medical setback, Seger remained optimistic about returning to touring and repeatedly assured fans he’d be back as soon as possible.
Springsteen on Broadway
Rock icon Bruce Springsteen found an unlikely home on Broadway when he premiered his Springsteen on Broadway series last fall. What was originally meant to be a short eight-week run has since expanded to become a bona fide phenomenon, which has even earned The Boss a Tony Award. By overwhelming demand, Springsteen has continually added performances to the career-altering residency, and will remain a mainstay at the Walter Kerr Theatre through December. Help dad relive his “glory days” by taking in this one-of-a-kind show.
Steve Miller Band & Peter Frampton
Two driving rock forces have united this year, as the Steve Miller Band and Peter Frampton teamed up on tour. With classic 70s tunes like “The Joker” and “Baby I Love Your Way” to their names, a ticket to this show will make the perfect gift for rockstar dads. The tour gets underway just before Father’s Day in Indiana on June 12, and will hit major markets like Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, San Antonio, and Los Angeles in the months to come. Their co-headlining outing will conclude in late August so don’t wait to grab tickets and treat Dad to a unforgettable concert experience.
