What: Taylor Swift & Vance Joy Concert
When: Saturday August 29, 2015
Where: Petco Park, San Diego
Description: Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomenona: a superstar who managed to completely cross over from country to the mainstream. Other singers performed similar moves — notably, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson both became enduring mainstream icons based on their ’70s work — but Swift shed her country roots like they were a second skin; it was a necessary molting to reveal she was perhaps the sharpest, savviest, populist singer/songwriter of her generation, one who could harness the zeitgeist and turn it personal and, just as impressively, perform the reverse.

Speak Now, delivered almost two years later in the autumn of 2010, consolidated that success and Swift moved into the stratosphere of superstardom, with her popularity only increasing on 2012’s Red and 2014’s 1989, a pair of records that found her moving assuredly from country into a pop realm where she already belonged.

Cost: $36.50 – $200

What: San Diego Chargers vs. Seattle Seahawks – Preseason
When: Saturday August 29, 2015
Where: Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego
Description: With some big-time playmakers around Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers, including budding star Keenan Allen and explosive young tight end Ledarius Green pared with Antonio Gates, this is a team that has all types of weapons this season, which could spell major trouble for the rest of the division. With lots of talent on both sides of the ball, the Chargers clearly have no intention of going quietly in their quest to get right back to the postseason. This is a team that can do a little bit of everything thanks to the well-balanced roster that ranks amongst the deepest in the NFL, which has fans ready to roll in a fresh season that could play out in any number of ways.

Cost: $52 – $452
