Outta Pocket Tickets

Outta pocket concert tickets.

Get Outta Pocket tickets and tap into the artistic aggression of hard rock/metal. The genre began when Hard Rock crashed through the music scene in the mid-1960s with an edgy infusion that infiltrated the standard rock sound. It introduced a type of psychedelic distortion primarily driven by electric and bass guitar. The emerging genre was impossible to ignore and moving into the 1970s, bands like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith took Hard Rock to its pinnacle. True to music’s inevitable evolution, the sound got heavier and moodier, resulting in what has become known as metal. The hard rock/metal sound came to the forefront and appealed to a wide variety of listeners.

It represented the rebellion and artistic freedom of youth during the 70s and established itself as a channel of creative expression throughout the 1980s. Revered as one of the most enduring genres of music, it broke barriers and established itself as the signature sound of timeless bands like Black Sabbath and Metallica . It continues to influence artists and listeners alike, living on in the music of contemporary collectives like Mastodon, Korn and Disturbed. Witness the dynamic genre performed live when you buy Outta Pocket tickets from TicketSmarter.

Pair of Powerball tickets worth $50K sold in N.J. on Jackpocket app

• Updated: Apr. 09, 2024, 12:25 p.m. |
• Published: Apr. 09, 2024, 12:14 p.m.

• Jeff Goldman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

A pair of $50,000 Powerball tickets were purchased in New Jersey for Monday’s lottery drawing.

Both were bought online by players using the Jackpocket app , state lottery officials said Tuesday.

No one across the country hit the $20 million jackpot, pushing the top prize for Wednesday’s drawing to $1 million with a cash option of $14.5 million.

Monday’s winning numbers were: 6, 21, 23, 39 and 54 . The Powerball drawn was 23 with a Power Play of 2X .

There were no second-prize, $1 million tickets sold nationally.

The jackpot rolled back to $20 million after someone who bought a ticket in Portland, Oregon won the massive $1.326 billion prize over the weekend.

In addition, no one hit the secondary, $10 million Double Play jackpot on Monday. Those winning numbers were: 7, 40, 45, 58 and 61 . The Double Play number drawn was 14 .

The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $1 million, while the odds are 913,129 to 1 to win a third prize of at least $50,000.

Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot is worth an estimated $97 million with a cash option of $45 million.

Athletics will become the first sport to introduce prize money at the Olympics this summer.

World Athletics, the international athletics federation, says it will pay Olympic gold medal winners $50,000 at the Paris games.

The athletics governing body said it is setting aside $2.4m (£1.89m) to pay the gold medallists across 48 events at Paris' track and field programme.

The tweet below on the price of olive oil has gone viral - so we thought it was a good opportunity to resurface our feature from March that explains what's going on.

At the time, our  spending calculator  revealed the average price of a 500ml bottle of olive oil had risen from £3.54 in January 2021 to £7.45 now - an eyebrow-raising jump of 110.5%.

We spoke to experts about why - and here's what we learned...

Groves becomes graveyards

We start in Italy, where, according to a  survey by the polling firm Istituto Piepoli , 45% of consumers have rediscovered seed oil in the kitchen, and the industry is facing an existential crisis.

Mike Carlucci, managing director of the Italian food importer  Tenuta Marmorelle , says production in parts of Italy is becoming impossible due to a natural disaster that has nothing to do with the climate.

"The events of the past 10 years have made olive oil production in Puglia [which produces 40% of Italy's olive oil] almost impossible," he said. "This is due to the rising bacteria disease Xylella Fastidiosa."

The disease attacks and kills century-old olive trees, severely diminishing yields.

It spreads about 20km to 25km a year, Mike says, leaving a "graveyard of withered and barren trees which were once stunning beautiful olive groves".

Many producers have been forced to replace their trees with more resilient varieties but...

"Even if the new trees manage not to succumb to Xylella, it will be at least nine to 12 years before they produce a notable amount of oil," says Mike.

While prices are up across the continent, in the UK another factor is in play: Brexit.

"The cost of customs documentation leaving Europe and entering the UK is approximately £95 per shipment," says Mike.

"Transporters have all imposed a Brexit surcharge for extra admin duties performed by them in the importation of goods from Europe."

Pallets coming into the UK from the continent are now subject to more stringent fire resistance rules - meaning the cost of pallets has "tripled, even in some cases quadrupled".

'Never had a shortage like it'

Another issue, as has been widely reported, are the wildfires and droughts in southern Europe last year.

These weather events have lead people to extreme measures, according to Sarah Vachon, olive oil sommelier and founder of  citizensofsoil.com .

"You can ask the elders in the villages in Greece and they've never had a shortage like this," she says.

"I see lots of producers selling their previous harvest's oils, since they're able to get a high price for it and might have held on to it over the year. 

"This means the consumer is not getting fresh EVOO. And when it's not fresh, it not only loses its flavour, but it also loses a lot of the health benefits (namely antioxidants like polyphenols) which drop significantly over time."

On top of climate change, there's a flood of cheap sunflower oil coming from Ukraine - so while the price of olive oil is going up, the cost of alternatives are going down.

200 trees stolen overnight

The result is an industry in crisis - and organised criminals are taking advantage.

"Around half of the farmers I work with have a story to tell about thieves stealing their liquid gold," says Sarah.

"Sometimes it's the oil itself, or the olive fruit at the groves, or even an insane story from one of our producers about thieves coming in the night and uprooting 200 freshly planted trees."

Maria Dawson, managing director of the organic food seller Clearspring, says the industry is seeing "some of the lowest levels of olive oil production for five decades and unfortunately a shortage of supply".

The company has managed to secure a stable supply for the coming year, but Maria expects the market to remain uncertain - with no price reductions in the near future, even if 2025 brings better harvests.

Olive oil sommelier Sarah isn't hopeful, either.

"Olive oil is already facing record prices, and the way the climate is changing across the Mediterranean basin (which is warming 20% faster than the rest of the world), the shortages we've seen will likely continue."

Euan Blair's apprenticeship company Multiverse will use AI to pick prospective job applicants.

The son of the former prime minister Sir Tony Blair has bought talent intelligence platform Searchlight, whose artificial intelligence technology claims to identify candidates for job vacancies four times more effectively than traditional methods, for his firm.

It does this by removing the biases and assumptions that may affect decisions by managers and then shortlisting candidates.

According to Searchlight's website it reduces "unconscious bias" with "impartial AI algorithms designed to catch what the human eye may miss".

It also provides "rigorous analysis" of work experience and hard and soft skills.

Mr Blair said what often held companies back was "the gap between the transformation they want to see, and the skills that will unlock it".

"Searchlight's AI, platform, and exceptional talent will allow us to better diagnose the skills needed within companies and deliver impactful solutions," he said.

Multiverse was founded by Mr Blair in 2016 and has since grown across the UK and US.

It works with more than 1,500 companies, including Microsoft, Citi and Just Eat, and has trained more than 16,000 apprentices.

Premier League club Crystal Palace has come under fire after a bereaved fan was told he would need to pay extra to transfer his late father's season ticket to another member of his family. 

Haris Armstrong said his sister, to whom the season ticket would be transferred, would've had to pay extra for the ticket - something the club later put down to poor communication. 

"I was told that I actually would not be able to renew my dad's seat on the early bird offer and that as it was my sister's first ST, she would be charged at a higher rate," Mr Armstrong said in a post on X.

He was also told that loyalty points accrued by his father over many years were non-transferrable when he asked that they be given to his sister. 

The Palace fan said there was "essentially no mechanism to transfer an ST upon someone's death. The surviving family get penalised and have to pay more money."

Mr Armstrong's post went viral and has been widely discussed by fellow fans online. 

He accused the club of looking to "financially capitalise on someone's death". 

Mr Armstrong labelled the handling of his request "careless, greedy and insensitive" and an "absolute disgrace".   

After we reached out to the club, Crystal Palace spoke to Mr Armstrong, who issued a subsequent clarification. 

He said he was told the "price issue was an admin/staffing error and apparently early bird tickets should always be offered when fans pass away". 

Mr Armstrong also said he and the club discussed bereavement policy "so things like this don't happen again".

Crystal Palace told Sky News: "We are very sorry for the loss of Mr Armstrong's father and we send our condolences to his family. 

"The club's policy in these circumstances is to allow the friend or family member who is part of a group to retain the seat for another friend or family member on the same terms if they want to keep it. 

"Mr Armstrong's father did not take advantage of the early bird discount but paid in monthly instalments; however, if the family member taking the seat prefers to use the early bird discount, then we are happy for them to do so. 

"We apologise if this was not communicated clearly.

"Regarding loyalty points, the policy has been [that] these do not transfer as they are linked to a named individual; however, in the light of these circumstances we will review this. In any event, supporters can buy an away season ticket to guarantee every game."

US inflation increased more than expected in March - in a blow for hopes of an imminent interest rate cut.

Americans paid more for gasoline and rental housing in the month, helping push consumer price rises to 3.5% - up from 3.2%.

It is a stark warning to other economies that the path back to the internationally recognised 2% target is not always smooth.

Financial markets now anticipate the Federal Reserve will delay cutting interest rates until September. 

Profits at Tesco have reached £2.83bn - up more than £300m from a year earlier - as the UK's largest supermarket group said it had brought down prices.

More people are shopping at  Tesco , due to improved product value and quality, the company said.

Profits topped £2.83bn last year, up from £2.5bn a year earlier, while the amount of money Tesco took in was also up.

For the last four months, one of the biggest talking points in the betting and gaming industry has been who will become the next chief executive of Entain, the FTSE-100 combine whose businesses include Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Bingo, Bwin and BetMGM.

The post was vacated when, 11 days before Christmas, the  former incumbent Jette Nygaard-Andersen unexpectedly resigned  with immediate effect.

Since then, the job has been done on an interim basis by Stella David, former chief executive of William Grant & Sons, the Scotch whisky group behind brands such as The Balvenie and Glenfiddich - but the hunt remains ongoing for a permanent CEO.

One of the favourites for the role has now ruled himself out.

Richard Flint, who is well regarded in the industry after his successful stint as chief executive of Sky Betting and Gaming, set tongues wagging when he recently announced he was stepping down as a non-executive director of Flutter Entertainment, the new owner of SkyBet and parent of Paddy Power and Betfair.

However, Mr Flint has told Sky News he is not seeking another executive position.

A British diamond manufacturer has had its adverts banned for not making clear its gems are synthetic.

The ads for Skydiamond had the headline: "Say hello to the world's first and only diamond made entirely from the sky."

In small text below, the company said it made diamonds using the four natural ingredients of the "sun, wind, rain" and "atmospheric carbon".

"Now that we can mine the sky, we never need to mine the earth again," it read.

Skydiamond also responded to a question on its FAQ page about whether they were real diamonds with: "Skydiamond is a perfectly formed real diamond."

The adverts sparked a complaint from the Natural Diamond Council, which believes the gems are lab-created, but the Sky Mining Company, which trades as Skydiamond, said they made clear they were not naturally occurring or mined from the earth.

The Advertising Standards Authority sided with the Natural Diamond Council.

"We considered that while some consumers may have been aware that synthetic diamonds could be manufactured or created in a laboratory, many would not," it said.

Application fees for new passports are rising tomorrow by about 7% - so get in quick if you need to renew yours. 

It's the second year in a row that passport application prices have increased, following a 9% rise in February 2023. 

Here is a breakdown of the price increases... 

Adult - £88.50 , up from £82.50

Child - £57.50 , up from £53.50

Paper form 

Adult - £100 , up from £93

Child - £69 , up from £64

Fast track (one-week service) 

Adult - £166.50 , up from £155

Child - £135.50 , up from £126

Premium (same-day service) 

Adult - £207.50 , up from £193.50. 

It could be worth renewing now if you have less than 10 months left on your current passport. 

Some countries - such as Turkey, Thailand, Egypt and Singapore - require you to have at least six months' validity on your passport. 

If you're travelling within the EU, your passport...

• Must have been issued less than 10 years before the day you enter the EU/Schengen Zone 
• Must be valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave.

The cheapest way to renew is through the gov.uk website, and you can expect to get your passport within three weeks for standard applications. 

Italy is allowing Britons who can work remotely to apply for a year-long "digital nomad" visa.

The scheme opened for applications for non-EU citizens at the end of last week - having been talked about for years.

Anyone wanting to take advantage needs to meet a few criteria, according to Italian law firm Studio Legale Metta - including:

• A university or college degree (minimum three years) from an accredited institution, an accredited professional licence, or accredited superior professional experience.
• At least six months in the industry in which they intend to work remotely.
• A work contract and a salary of at least €28,000 (£24,000).
• No specific immigration crimes within the past five years. 
• Evidence of a place to stay in Italy. 
• Health insurance. A private medical insurance usually costs between €350-700 a year.

The firm advises applying four to five months in advance.

Italy is trying to encourage growth amid an aging population.

A charity boss providing free haircuts for the homeless says it is helping people on the streets feel less "invisible".

Haircuts4Homeless, founded by Stewart Roberts, has 80 centres across the UK and has delivered 60,000 haircuts over the past decade.

Mr Roberts told Sky News' Breakfast with Kay Burley that some people have had "no communication with anyone" before getting their hair cut.

"Sometimes it's a quiet one, sometimes they just open up and... they tell you their stories," he said.

He said the situations charity staff hear of can be "really sad", but they also manage to have "amazing laughs" during the sessions.

Mr Roberts said he celebrated 18 years of sobriety yesterday and has struggled with drug problems in the past.

"I really relate to people and the struggles that they have," he said, though he noted it was a "misconception" that everyone on the streets was an alcoholic or a drug addict.

"But often it's the case that they will turn to that and you can't really blame them when they're in such bad positions," he said.

Asked how people can help, Mr Roberts said the charity is always looking for volunteers and sponsors as it "doesn't run itself".

"The main thing is, we're trying to humanise the face of homelessness. It's making sure that you spread our message out," he added.

The popular comedian has lamented increasing prices for performers wanting to take part in Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 

Manford said prices, especially for accommodation, were an "absolute joke" and were fuelled by "pure greed". 

"I've just priced up a week up there and even if every show sells out, I'm still operating at a loss," he wrote on social media site X. 

The comedian said this was less of a problem for him "as it's part of a much bigger tour" and because of the "stage of my career" but he feared it would shut out new performers. 

"No idea how anyone starting out is managing to get up there and showcase their talents!" he said. 

Manford said if prices stay high then "the only people who can do it are people with money or backing". 

A quick search on Booking.com puts the price of the hotel for the duration of the festival at about £4,000 upwards (looking at places with three stars or above) - although many are charging much more.
