Paul McCartney Summerfest 2016 Tickets | Ticket King Inc.

Milwaukee's annual summer music festival “Summerfest” usually has its fair share music “legends”. This summer will be no different. The legendary Paul McCartney will be coming to Summerfest and will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on July 8. Reserve tickets for McCartney will be available, all the way to the bleacher seats. For McCartney, this will be his first performance in three years in Milwaukee, as he last played at Miller Park in 2013. The Summerfest stop will be part of McCartney's “One on One” tour, which will begin April 13 in Fresno, California and will end on August 17 in Cleveland, Ohio. Stops in between will include places like Vancouver, Minneapolis, Sioux Falls, Boston, Washington D.C., and St. Louis. Songs expected to be played include A Hard Day's Night, Let Me Roll It, I've Got A Felling, Here There and Everywhere, and Letting Go.

As many people know, McCartney got his start as the bassist in the legendary rock group The Beatles. Together with George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr as the other three principal members, the group took the world by storm in the 1960's and currently stand as one of the three greatest selling music acts in history along with Elvis Presley and Garth Brooks. Of the four, only Starr and McCartney are alive today. Since the group's 1970 breakup, McCartney has gone on to a great solo career, releasing 17 solo albums to date, with the most recent being New, released in 2013. He also recorded seven albums during the 1970's with the group Wings.

Packers 2016 Schedule Highlights | Ticket King Inc.

The Green Bay Packers schedule was released last week along with the rest of the NFL. The Packers open up the 2016 regular season with a noon game in Jacksonville. That will be a nice change of pace for this team from their usual prime time or marquee opponent week one match ups. The Jaguars will be improved, but this one should be a win for the Packers. After that they will have the honor of being the Vikings first opponent in their new stadium. That should be an interesting game. If the league went according to normal rotation, the Packers wouldn't play in Minnesota first, but we think the league wanted the Packers for this first game. After that, they come home for the Detroit Lions, and play another noon game. After the Lions game is when things get unusual.

The Packers will get a very early week four bye. Following the bye week they three straight home games, against the Giants, Cowboys and Bears. The game against the Bears will be the Packers Thursday Night game this season. Also in November, the Packers will have a three game road trip, although it doesn't look too bad. The three opponents are the Titans, Redskins, and Eagles. The Packers will then finish the season with three straight divisional games, at Chicago, home against Minnesota, and at Detroit to finish the season. Overall, we believe this to be one of the better schedules in the league. Not ideal, but still not too bad.

Lions Mock Draft in 2016 Will Focus on the Offensive Line

As Ticket King continues the tour around the NFC North, we finish with our mock of the Detroit Lions draft. The following is in the words of our in-house analyst T.J. Bryce.  

Round 1: Jack Conklin/OT/Michigan State- The Lions, much like the Vikings, are in desperate need of an offensive tackle. Conklin is projected right into the area of the first round where the Lions are slated to draft at the moment. Conklin is a franchise left tackle who will be asked to protect Matthew Stafford's backside from day one.

Round 2: Kendall Fuller/CB/Virginia Tech- The Lions really need a play maker at the cornerback position. Fuller has ball hawking skills and can take the ball away at the moment, turning moment in his teams favor. The Lions might be tempted if Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook falls this far, but general manager Bob Quinn should avoid that temptation and stick to the Lions list of needs.

Round 3: Tyler Matakevich/ILB/Temple- The Lions also need to work on their inside linebacker depth. Matakevich isn't the most physically gifted player in the world, but he is smart, and can be the starter from day one.

Round 4: Maliek Collins/DT/Nebraska- The 4^th and final major need for the Lions in this draft is a defensive tackle. Haloti Ngata, who was brought in after the losses of Nick Fairley and Ndamukong Suh in free agency last year, isn't getting any younger and the Lions really need to replenish their depth at the position. Collins is a big body with great athleticism and a high ceiling.

Round 5: Charone Peake/WR/Clemson- This is a deep draft for wide receivers, which is why despite the retirement of Calvin Johnson the Lions can wait until this late in the draft to take one. Peake has excellent size, skill and ability, everything scouts look for. However, he played behind a bunch of super talents at Clemson, which is why he falls to round five.

Round 6A: Brandon Doughty/QB/Western Kentucky. The last quarterback the Lions drafted was Matthew Stafford in 2009. Yeah, they need to draft a project. Doughty has a good arm, and threw the ball a lot. He lacks the proper build though.

Round 6B: Mike Thomas/WR/Southern Mississippi- The Lions could really use two wide receivers from this draft. Thomas is a productive player.

Round 6C: Jordan Lucas/SS/Penn State- Lucas is the perfect type of depth player. Excellent understanding of the game, and can hold up his end of the bargain when called upon.

Round 7: Tre Madden/RB/Southern California- Would be much, much higher in the draft if it weren't for his injuries. If he can stay healthy, whoever ends up with him will have the steal of the draft. 

Bears Mock Draft for 2016 | Ticket King Inc.

As we continue our tour around the NFC North, our next mock draft takes us to the Packers oldest rival, the Chicago Bears. The Bears, looking to rebuild, have an extra fourth and an extra sixth pick to use as ammo. Having those picks will be huge during this rebuilding process. 

Round 1: Vernon Hargreaves/CB/Florida- This secondary is bad, really bad. You know what; let's not beat around the bush. This secondary is in need of major work. With the exception of Kyle Fuller, they could legitimately start all over with this secondary in 2016. Hargreaves would be a great place to start all over and would give them their ace cover man right of the bat.

Round 2: Connor Cook/QB/Michigan- This one is going to ruffle some feathers, but yes, it is time to move on from Jay Cutler. The Packers will be sad to hear this, as they experienced many great moments returning Jay Cutler interceptions for touchdowns. Cook is your classic big, strong pocket passer with a rocket arm and his mobility is better than most people realize.

Round 3: Jalen Mills/FS/LSU- The Bears secondary is bad. Not only do they need another corner, but they need to replace both safeties as well. Jalen Mills will come in and start from day one. Mills is a terrific athlete who can cover a lot of ground in a hurry, which could come in handy in a division where you have to chase the likes of Randall Cobb, Golden Tate, and Stefon Diggs around all day.

Round 4A: Miles Killebrew/SS/Southern Utah- Did I mention the Bears secondary is bad? Well, if you weren't paying attention before, the Bears secondary is bad. Like really, REALLY bad. Killebrew is another player who could come in and start from day one. Killebrew would be a good partner to the athletic Mills in the defensive backfield. Mills is an athletic cover safety. Killebrew is a downfield hitter and run stopper who likes to get down and dirty in the box.

Round 4B: Bryce Williams/TE/East Carolina- The Bears just lost Martellius Bennett to free agency. They have a hole at tight end that needs to be filled. Williams can fill it with his nice mixture of size and speed. Williams is unlikely to drop, but he currently does sit in this area of the draft on most boards.

Round 5: Malcolm Mitchell/WR/Georgia- Mitchell is one of the most unique prospects in this draft. He has the ability to be a star, but has never been able to put it all together for an extended period of time. Playing lots of different positions didn't help early in his career and neither did the Bulldogs bad quarterback situation recently, but he appears to have found a home at wide receiver. Now he needs to find a team that will get the most out of his talents.

Round 6A: Josh Ferguson/RB/Illinois- The Bears lost Matt Forte this offseason. Jeremy Langford is going to take over the primary role but they need to find some depth to help him out. Ferguson could be just that and he played right down the road, so the fans will know who he is.

Round 6B: Nick Kwiatkoski/LB/West Virginia- The Bears need to start rebuilding their line backing unit, which has been the backbone of Bears football for a century. Not saying Kwiatkoski will be the one, but he does provide a fresh young body and he will be a good project too. His ceiling is very high, and if they can get him to reach that ceiling, they will have hit a home run.

Round 7: Antwaun Woods/DT/USC- Another athletic type with a high ceiling, which is what the Bears need to focus on, being in the early stages of rebuilding and all. If they can hit on some of these high ceiling types, that will speed up their rebuild considerably. Standing 6' and 320 pounds, Woods is a big body with a high motor, and he can play at the next level.

Green Bay Packers Mock Draft 2016 | Ticket King

College football players test their raw physical skills and talents with numerous scouts from every NFL team watching every year at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Another combine has come and gone, so I thought it was high time for me to release my first edition of my Packers mock draft.

Round One: Hunter Henry/TE/Arkansas- The Packers top priority overall in this draft is adding some fresh young legs to their stale skill positions on offense. I like Richard Rodgers, but the Packers really need a pass catching tight end, especially one who can stretch the field. Henry is just that.

Round Two: Will Fuller/WR/Notre Dame- Expecting a 31-year-old Jordy Nelson coming off a torn ACL, who's calling card is speed, jump ball and double move, to return to form is both unfair to him and unreasonable for the Packers to expect. They need to add a vertical threat in the draft. My original idea was Corey Coleman, but he may not be around when the Packers go to draft in round one. So I instead opted for Henry, and will take Fuller here in round two.

Round Three: Dominique Alexander/ILB/Oklahoma- Alexander is undersized, but about athletic as it gets. The Packers could use more athleticism at the inside linebacker spot, especially one who excels at blitzing and pass coverage.

Round Four: Joel Haeg/OT/North Dakota State- The Packers offensive line battled through injuries last season. All five week one starters missed time at some point. When they are all together, they are one of the best in the business. Yes, they all missed time, but for Bulaga, it's just injury after injury throughout his entire career. At some point they need to cut the cord and move on from him. Haeg is a pass blocking specialist who fits the Packers system perfectly, and could replace Bulaga in short order.

Round Five: Jerrell Adams/TE/South Carolina- In addition to a pass catcher, the Packers also need a run blocker at tight end out of this draft. Adams can line up both off tackle, and in the slot, which gives him good versatility in this offense. But, the most important aspect he will bring to this franchise is his run blocking, which is really, really good.

Round Six: Aaron Green/RB/TCU- Eddie Lacy battled weight issues all season but will return at his normal weight next season. In fact, he is already down a considerable amount of weight if you look at a recent photo of his on Twitter. The Packers can get at least one more season out of Starks. However, they do have a big hole at the third running back spot, and could use an upgrade. Green is a home run hitter who relies on speed, which could be a perfect fit considering the skill sets of Lacy and Starks.

Round Seven: Ian Seau/OLB/Nevada- The nephew of the late NFL legend Junior Seau, Ian is a perfect fit for a 3-4 defense as an edge rusher. Seau has a nice frame for a 3-4 outside linebacker and is a good project that could turn into something down the road. 

Top Ten Free Agents in the NFL for 2016 | Ticket King Green Bay

As move into the NFL off season, the first event to talk about is the NFL combine, which takes place this week. After the combine, the next notable event is free agency. Here is our list of the top free agents in the NFL. Where will these free agents land? Who will stick around? Some are looking to get paid, and some just want to stick with a winning team.

Von Miller/DE/Broncos- All discussion about the 2016 NFL free agent period starts and ends with Von Miller. The Broncos superstar defensive end is coming off a monster season, and was the anchor for one of the best defense's in recent memory. There is no way Miller signs with another team.

Muhammad Wilkerson/DE/Jets- After Miller, the next best defensive lineman is Wilkerson. He is an excellent pass rusher and is also good against the run. The Jets could franchise tag him, but if they don't, the bidding war for his services could get very high.

Josh Norman/CB/Panthers- The former Coastal Carolina product has turned himself into one of the best defensive backs in the NFL. Norman is a true shutdown corner, and it is unlikely the Panthers let him sign somewhere else.

Cordy Glenn/OT/Bills- This is the best offensive lineman on the market. He could get franchised tagged, but if he isn't and he hits the open market, Ted Thompson could strongly consider changing course just a little and making Glenn an offer he can't refuse. It's highly unlikely though, as Glenn probably ends up back in Buffalo.

Eric Berry/SS/Chiefs- One of the best stories in sports history, Berry returned to the lineup after taking nearly a year off to fight cancer and came back stronger than ever. Berry is the best safety in the business, and the Chiefs should be at the top of his list.

Bruce Irvin/LB/Seahawks- The best linebacker on the market, Irvin is an excellent pass rusher in a 3-4 defense who will be top prize for a lot of teams. Expect him to sign somewhere else though as Seattle looks to tighten up the checkbook after some lucrative extensions recently.

Malik Jackson/DT/Broncos- The other major part of the Broncos front seven was Jackson, who hits the open market after a career year and is the best interior defensive lineman on the market. Of the two, we say it is more likely Jackson hits the market than Miller.

Eric Weddle/FS/Chargers- After Berry, the next best safety on the market is Eric Weddle, and with the Chargers cap problems, he signs somewhere else. Minnesota is a distinct possibility here.

Kirk Cousins- The Redskins have found their franchise quarterback. The problem is he is technically a free agent now. No need to hyperventilate though Redskins fans, a deal will get done, it's just a matter of when. He could get the franchise tag which will buy both sides a year to continue to work on a long term deal.
