1) Commonly abbreviated "
TBA" on tickets and the like, To Be Announced is a common occurrence in sports and concerts. It simply means that a
contender or act has not yet been officially announced to appear at the venue by the powers-that-be.
Although similar, with a bit of
overlap, this is not to be confused with "To Be Determined" (
TBD). That one implies that such an announcement cannot be made at all until certain conditions are met.
