Take Stock

Ticket fans, don't take our assumption as a shocker—you're going to attend 1310 AM-The Ticket's Ticketstock 2006 on both Friday and Saturday, so you probably know everything about your favorite sports radio station's largest public event of the year. P1s (industry slang for dedicated listeners) know that local sports heroes like Jason Terry, DeMarcus Ware and Hall of Famers Rayfield Wright and Troy Aikman will be on hand to sign free autographs, and your favorite jocks will be at the Plano Centre, 2000 E. Spring Creek Parkway, to do more than just chat. All-host band the Ticket Timewasters perform a concert on Friday, and Mike Rhyner’s Petty Theft plays on Saturday. Doors open at noon on Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturday—show up early both days to snag tickets for autograph lines. Visit theticket.com.
Fri., Feb. 17, noon; Sat., Feb. 18, 10 a.m.
