Sure, Em and your man at Yankee Stadium is exciting as shit but a black-tie Sade and Hov party with Ms. Alicia Keys floating around is my pick for hottest ticket of the year. Plus it's for a good cause.

Keep a Child Alive's (KCA) Black Ball brings celebrity and philanthropy together to fulfill hopes, dreams and raise funds for children and families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Hosted by KCA co-founder Alicia Keys, this event takes place in New York and in London and has raised over $10 million since 2004.
