The Jigga Man is going to put Dallas in an Empire State of Mind when he comes to the American Airlines Center February 23 with no less than Young Jeezy in tow, and tickets go on sale Saturday morning at 10 a.m.

Then to co-sign the street cred that Jay-Z provides the AAC, John Mayer will perform at the arena a couple weeks later on March 9, with opener Michael Franti and Spearhead; tickets for that show go on sale to the general public November 21, with pre-sales for American Express cardholders November 16-20. As if pre-sales weren't ridiculous enough, there will be pre-pre-sales with purchase of Mayer's Battle Studies at his web site.
