And here I thought you were going to be talking about Opening Night for the Thunder. I'm looking forward to both.

The countdown and fireworks will begin around 11:30 outside by Kerr Park.

And the Flaming Lips and Stardeath and the White Dwarfs will still be going on at the Cox Center.

And at the Ford Center will be Thunder vs. Golden State.

Lots to do downtown that night for the entire family.

Do you know when tickets will go on sale for the Flaming Lips? Thanksgiving time?

I think they wanted to get through the parade before they started messing with that. They should go on sale pretty soon. I would just check their myspace page as well as their website. I'm sure the artscouncil will put it up as well like last year.

The Flaming Lips show is not an official part of Opening Night this year. I'm sure the concert details will be posted at The Official Flaming Lips Website

Thunder fans can show their ticket stub at Opening Night HQ (north entrance of the Cox Center) to get a wristband for $8.

Opening Night wristbands go on sale November 28th at metro 7-Eleven stores, Homeland stores, MidFirst Bank locations, Mathis Brothers, and Penn Square Mall. You can also buy your wristbands at the event for $10. All the details are at Oklahoma City Arts Council, OKC Arts Council | Arts Council of Oklahoma City
