Tickets (starting at $79.50) for the VMAs at Barclays Center, that Kanye, Lady Gaga, and others are performing at, go on sale today at 9 AM. Free pit tickets went on “sale” the other day.

These guys might have once been laughed at as goofy chart toppers, but for a whole generation of kids, blink-182 are an important and influential band, and some of those kids might like to know they’re doing a few shows this September ahead of their appearance at Chicago’s Riot Fest. No NYC dates, but they’ll be close by for shows at Revel Ovation Hall on September 7 in NJ, Mohegan Sun Arena on September 8 in CT, and Sands Bethlehem Event Center on September 12 in PA. Tickets to their PA show go on presale today at 10 AM to anyone who bought tickets for the cancelled May show. Venue and Ticketmaster presales for both their PA and NJ shows start Thursday (8/8) at 10 AM, and a general on-sale for all three shows starts Friday (8/9) at 10 AM.
