Kylie Minogue had a fresh show that I have never seen before and it was as exciting as stepping into a Madonna show for the first time.  I think it will go down as better than even Britney Spears Femme Fatale Tour that is coming up this Summer.  Kylie’s dancers were incredibly hot and could do acrobats, dance, and stand and model their hot abs and beefy thighs.  There were so many muscles and toned men on her stage and in the crowd as well.  No screaming tweens here.

Kylie Minogue came out on a horse, had boys flying in the air like angels all on a breathtaking set with Greek columns and Gods and Goddesses of love.  It was a stunning array of illusions and some gorgeous costume changes with our Australian Diva. She performed Outta My Head and other popular songs and ended with All My Lovers.  I just did not want her show to end though I thought surely she will come back but never did for an encore.  The Diva has left the building.

Kylie stops off in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl then in Las Vegas at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace which would be the perfect place to see this show especially because of its theme.  Do not have your tickets yet for Vegas or Hollywood?  You can still buy them at APHRODITETOUR.COM.

With the rise of Credit Card reward programs that offer customers preferred seating, first access to certain events, concerts and shows. The days of waiting online in the cold and early morning ticket reservation is over. Some cards allow customers to have access to tickets before they’re available to the public, while others offer VIP packages and reduced pricing on premium seating. Some of the other types of reward perks that come along with the assorted programs are:
• Concierge services
• Discounted or even free tickets to assorted family attractions, museums and zoos
• Exclusive access to private events and screenings

When looking into various Credit Card reward programs, it’s a good idea to look at each card individually, and assess the type of perks that are included.

Although there are other cards and programs, the list above serves as a good guide to gauge the benefits and perks of the most popular cards. There may seem to be no downside but with many reward program Credit Cards there lies membership fees. These membership fees vary greatly depending on the company, but they usually range in the $120-$155 range. That’s why it’s important to understand the type of Credit Card program that is being used, as to not stumble upon shocking fees after the first year. Taking that into consideration, concert and event reward programs are an excellent option for the occasional concert goer or devoted fan.

Bonus Tip: Sign-up for every email newsletter such as LiveNation, Ticketmaster, and the new Groupon Live that is coming out for every city you are considering a premium seat. You can also bookmark pages such as MonsterBallTour.com to keep them on your “Radar” for upcoming events.

Current Summer concert tours for 2011 include Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj, Glee Live in Concert, Get $leezy Tour, American Idols Live, Adele Live, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Robyn.  Although the hottest tours this Summer may well be the NKOTB and Backstreet Boys along with everyone trying to see Adele perform live.

In addition a new remix EP for the song “Put Your Hands Up” will be released on May 31st which will include the album track with brand new remixes including the Pete Hammond remix that Kylie shared with fans as a thank you for the support of the song during the live shows on the European leg of the tour. Kylie sent the following message when she posted a lyric video with the remix on her YouTube channel: “Thank you all for making Aphrodite Les Folies’ such an amazing experience for me. Those of you who have been to a show will know that ‘Put Your Hands Up’ goes OFF! So as a tour thank you I wanted to share this 80′s-tastic remix by the legendary Pete Hammond. I like this look Kylie has with her American tanktop this kind of looks like Madonna’s American Life meets Ke$ha’s flag she is always displaying.

Nicki Minaj will be joining Britney Spears on this huge Summer tour along with Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo. If you recall Jessie and the Toy Boys recently sang at the White Party Palm Springs Pool event. Nicki Minaj has been quoted as being very excited about the upcoming tour although Britney’s long term choreographer Brian Friedman is overbooked for the tour dates so she will start out with fresh new moves from James King’s great line of new choreographers.
