Boston has the hottest tickets in the country

By Globe Staff

Sorry, Tuukka Rask. Your goaltending may be a big reason why the Bruins have advanced in the hockey playoffs. But when it comes to boffo box office, you're behind pop chanteuse Lady Gaga, not to mention Derek Jeter and A-Rod of the dastardly New York Yankees.

So proclaims FanSnap, a live-event ticket search engine based in California. According to FanSnap, Boston looks to be the hottest ticket market in the country in coming weeks. Local sports are on fire. Not only are the Bruins and the Celtics in the playoffs, but the Yankees coming to town for a series with the Red Sox next week. (FanSnap points out that Boston is the only market in the country to with teams still in both the pro hockey and pro basketball playoffs.)

Add a local concert schedule loaded with big-draw names such as Diana Ross, Jimmy Buffett, Conan O'Brien, and Tim McGraw, and fans will be hard-pressed to find a good reason to stay home.

So which tickets will cost the most? According to FanSnap, tickets average $264 to see Lady Gaga, $233 to see the Yankees at Fenway, and $194 to see the Bruins play the Philadelphia Flyers.
