Phoenix Tickets Finder

James Blunt has a show scheduled in November here in Phoenix Arizona on the 17th. I’ve done a little searching around and it looks like there are lots of good seats available through the brokers. Here is what my hunting with the top aftermarket companies turned up:

We Have Seats - Lots of seats ranging from $75-427
StubHub - They have seats ranging from $69-421. Plus you can sell seats through their system.
TicketsNow - Tickets ranging from $65-435.

I recommend checking them all because tickets come and go with these guys.

And now a little James Blunt trivia… it turns out there is more to him than the one overplayed song.

James Blunt (born James Hillier Blount, 22 February 1974) is an English singer-songwriter whose debut album, Back to Bedlam, and single releases — especially the number one hit “You’re Beautiful” — brought him to fame in 2005. His style is a mix of pop, rock, folk and adult contemporary. Along with vocals, Blunt plays a wide variety of instruments including the piano, guitar, organ, marimba, and mellotron.

He is signed to Linda Perry’s American label Custard, and became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when his song “You’re Beautiful” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997.

Blunt’s dramatic rise to commercial success has garnered hostility. His short-notice billing at a major summer festival, ousting the now lesser known Declan O’Rourke, led the latter to refer to him as “James cucking funt” live on-air on an Irish radio station. The name James Blunt has now become Cockney rhyming slang (a ‘right James’).

The Sunday Telegraph’s Mandrake column has claimed that Blunt is in fact three years older than his publicity claims. Critics of Blunt have cited this, along with vast marketing investment and ‘inoffensive’ songs, in seeing him as more in the mould of a commercial act rather than a genuine singer-songwriter, despite Blunt initially having little to no investment from both the independent record label he was signed to or from distributors Atlantic Records.

On May 29, 2006, the British press reported that a local radio station Essex FM had announced that it had banned all songs by Blunt from being played, after listeners of the station repeatedly called and said they were “fed up with them”. The station had actually just stopped playing the hit single “You’re Beautiful” after having it on constant rotation for 14 months. They played the single “Wisemen” 26 times the next week.

A survey conducted in 2006 reported that Blunt was the fourth most annoying thing in the UK, beaten only by cold callers, queue-jumpers and caravans.

According to The Sun, You’re Beautiful has eclipsed Robbie Williams’ Angels as the wedding favourite in the United Kingdom. In the same article, Goodbye My Lover was revealed to be a funeral favourite as well, with two high profile funerals in Canada using the song in memorials for Montreal police officer Valerie Gignac and Toronto teenager Jane Creba.
