I tried purchasing tickeets to New Kids on The Block / Backstreet Boys at Mohegan Sun and it said sold out. Then, when I called tickmaster, they said there were no packages at all. Does anyone know what's going on?

VIP tickets (as in the type where you meet the band, good tix, free merchandise etc) generally sell out super fast. I've seen packages sell out in 2 minutes or less when trying to buy VIP for previous NKOTB shows.
I know on the NKOTB side today was the general sale, the forth and final sale of VIP tickets for NKOTBSB (Block Nation Members had 2 Pre Sales and there was 1 Amex Pre sale) Ticketmaster couldnt give you any information because they do not handle the sale of VIP packages - depending on which bands VIP package you were after you'd have to contact either I Love All Access (NKOTB) or Ground CTRL (BSB) for more details.
Sorry you weren't successful. Maybe they'll announce another show, Mohegan is a popular venue.

Mohegan sun Casino only allows a certain amount of packages sold, because they offer the majority of them to their "players club" VIP members. Also, Getting tickets can be tricky to any even there. My Friend works in the VIP/Comp area, so she gives me free tickets to anything I want. She said that they reserve about 30% of tickets before they go on sale, to give away to their high rollers. So even if you are the very first person to get tickets during a pre-sale, just know that 30% have already been taken. Mohegan sun usually doesn't allow the groups/promoters to have "VIP" packages, since they typically create their own, just for the VIP's. Hope this helps...
