How To Find The Cheapest New Kids On The Block Tickets For The Mixtape Tour

June 5, 2019

American boy band New Kids on the Block will co-headline the "Mixtape" tour with Salt-n-Pepa, Naughty by Nature, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. The tour started at US Bank Arena on May 2 and runs through July 14 in Sunrise, Florida. The band will make two stops each Rosemont, Illinois (June 13-14), Boston (June 28-29) and the New York City area (June 30 and July 2). 

The most popular venues are up to 95% sold out on the primary market, and most available seats are on the corners toward the back of the stage. Comparatively, there's a bigger selection with seats in front of the stage available on the secondary market, meaning fans should shop around.

The two Boston shows, June 28-29, are nearly sold out. Limited balcony seats are available starting at $74.95 through primary vendor AXS, as compared to $108 on the secondary market, with a bigger selection.

The May 28 show is about 85% sold out on the primary market via AXS. Seats in Section Floor2, right in front of the stage, are available for $99.95 on the primary market, and similar tickets are available on the secondary market for $116.

One of the cheaper shows, the July 9 Charlotte, North Carolina tour date shows it's worth comparison shopping -- balcony seats start at $59.95 on the primary market, versus $39 on the secondary market, both for Section 203.

-----------------

(1/23/15) It may only be mid-January but we already have a contender for most random package tour of the year following the news that New Kids On The Block, TLC and Nelly are to join forces for a North American trek dubbed The Main Event.

The unlikely touring buddies will kick off their run of summer shows at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center on May 1 – tickets for which are available on TicketIQ at a get-in price of $117 – and will take in a further 40 performances before wrapping up at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center on July 2 ($127).

No strangers to the concept of the joint tour, New Kids On The Block have shared the stage with the likes of Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men since their 2008 reunion, but this latest match-up is easily their most intriguing to date. 

TLC, who recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their fifth album, have played a number of one-off shows since the death of founding member Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, but this will be their first major tour since their Fanmail trek back in 2000.

Nelly, who will soon appear on the big screen in Jennifer Lynch’s mystery thriller A Fall From Grace, will also make his return to the US live scene after completing his current Australian tour with fellow rapper Lupe Fiasco.

There are still plenty of tickets on offer at TicketIQ for most dates with the June 16 show at Columbus’ Nationwide Arena currently with the lowest get-in price at $79 and the June 21 gig at New York’s Madison Square Garden with the highest at $370.

Fans should expect to hear the majority of the eleven US number ones the three acts have amassed between them including “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever),” “Hangin’ Tough” and “Step By Step” (NKOTB), “Creep,” “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs” (TLC) and “Hot In Herre,” “Dilemma” and “Shake Your Tailfeather” (Nelly).
