Huge sale on sports, theater tickets and more

You’re probably not thinking about baseball games and theme parks right now.

But TravelZoo has just published news about a huge nationwide sale on Broadway shows, Las Vegas shows, sporting events, theme park passes and more, in the hope that you might want to buy some of these tickets as holiday gifts. I know I’d rather have tickets to a concert or play than a bat-shaped candy dish or yet another scented candle.

Here are some of the highlights of the sale:

• Up to 75% off ticket packages to Major League Baseball games.
• Up to 80% off packages and single tickets to National Basketball Association games. Some tickets are as cheap as $5.
