WAMplified tickets

Uh. Oh. I am officially double booked. April 3rd, 2010 I am already supposed to be at the Varsity Theater's Black Lips show. But it looks like I may have to bail on those plans, it appears something else has come up. While you will not need Northrop Auditorium tickets for this show and it looks like my Varsity Theater tickets for the Black Lips will be tossed, you will be needing a Weisman Art Museum ticket. One of my favorite local guys, Har Mar Superstar, is going to be the musical guest at the next WAMplified event at the Weisman Art Museum on the U of MN campus.

One ticket to this show will not only pay for you admission to the concert to see Har Mar Superstar, but admission includes 2 drink tickets and a tour of the museum. WAMplified is an event that the Weisman Art Museum has 3 times a year and it incorporates music with the current exhibition the museum is showcasing.

Northrop Auditorium tickets
Weisman Art Museum tickets for WAMplified are on sale now. Minneapolis music fans are going to have a severly hard time deciding what to do on the night of Saturday, April 3rd. Beachhouse is at the Cedar Cultural Center, the Black Lips are at the Varsity Theater, and now Har Mar Superstar at the Weisman. Being a music fan can be exhausting sometimes!

See you at the show!

Northrop Auditorium tickets

If you have recovered enough from the cancellation of Mariah Carey's show and were still hoping to make it over the U of MN's Northrop Auditorium for a show then maybe you would want to check out one of their many dance shows or ballets. There are a lot of Northrop Auditorium tickets for these events and are priced fairly reasonably.

Here are a list of dance shows coming to the Northrop:

February 12th and 13th: Pilobolus - Mixed Repertoire (Different programs for each show)

March 3rd: Akram Khan Company: bahok

March 12th and 13th: The Suzanne Farrell Ballet


Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale for all of the dance performances listed above. I have not been to one, however, my roommate has been to quite a few of the ballets. It is a cheap and different thing to do on the weekends. Some of the Northrop Auditorium tickets are fairly inexpensive and students even get an additional discounted rate.

Mariah Carey tickets

Sadly, I hate to report that it looks like Mariah Carey is no longer making a stop in Minneapolis on her Angels Advocate tour. The February date was on her website (however, no ticket information) for quite some time, however, that date is no longer listed. However, she now has two dates at the Chicago Theater in Chicago, IL on February 13th and 14th. If only we could have had Mariah Carey here on Valentine's Day - that would have made Northrop Auditorium tickets a very hot item for this year's Cupid holiday. What a better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with Mariah Carey singing top 40 love songs from the last 20 years? Well, I could certainly think of a few - like buying Minnesota Wild tickets and checking out the game at the Xcel against the Canucks - but hey, to each their own!

If you were really dead set on going to a show at the Northrop Auditorium there are still plenty of Northrop Auditorium tickets left for the Chelsea Handler show on April 4th. Does anyone know if Chewy is going to be there? To be honest, I want to see Chewy almost as much as I would love to see Chelsea Handler!

Northrop Auditorium tickets
are on sale now the hilarious Chelsea Handlers. Ms. Comcast herself will bring her stand up show to the Northrop on Saturday, April 3rd. Handler is touring in support of not only her show, but her fifth book, "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang."


Minneapolis would much rather welcome the beautiful Chelsea Handler any day instead of Ms. Mariah Carey Nick Cannon!

Chelsea Handler tickets

Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale tomorrow for the just announced Chelsea Handler show! You know her as Chelsea Lately from her show on E! (it's on after my man, Joel McHale hosts the Soup aka the best show on television).

When Chelsea Handler was here last summer at Treasure Island Casino it was a very popular ticket. The show was far beyond sold out and a lot of fans were not able to attend because there were no tickets left.

Chelsea Handler Northrop Auditorium tickets will be in demand so if you want to go be sure to buy your Northrop Auditorium tickets as soon as possible. The show is only a few short months away so it is anticipated that it will sell out.

Chelsea Handler is touring in support of her book, "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang." Sadly I don't think that Chewy will be on tour with her. Chelsea Handler will have opening acts at her show, but it won't be Chewy! We can only hope ...

If you're not familiar with Chelsea Handler's jokes, perhaps you know her name from her famous boyfriend, Ted Harbert, who owns Comcast - the worst company of all time! They have been in the tabloids a lot - one of those make up and break up all the time couples.

Northrop Auditorium tickets go on sale Friday!

Mariah Carey Tickets

What has replaced Louiepalooza's advertisement on the Northrop Auditorium page? Mariah Carey's face! While Northrop Auditorium tickets are not on sale yet for the Mariah Carey show at the Northrop there is a lot of talk about the show! There is a message that tells the details of the show have not been finalized, however, I wonder if the Northrop Auditorium knows that the concert is only about a month away.

There has not been an onsale date announced for the show yet, which is a little worry some to Mariah Carey fans. The concert is scheduled to be on February 16th - which is only a month away. The Northrop Auditorium's capacity is about 4500 people - that is a lot of tickets to get through in less than a month - and a Mariah Carey ticket onsale Minneapolis date has not been announced yet. What is a Mariah Carey fan to do that wants to buy Northrop Auditorium tickets for the Angels Advocate tour.

Northrop Parking

Did anyone go to the Louie Anderson shows yesterday? I heard that Northrop Auditorium tickets for both shows were sold out...?

A lot of people ask "Where to park when I go to the Northrop?" Well, to be honest parking close to the Northrop can be difficult. The Northrop Auditorium is located in the heart of the University of Minnesota's mall area and is surrounded, for the most part, by other campus buildings. There is one Northrop Auditorium parking ramp by the facility that sells out fast, especially if there is an event. Also, a lot of staff of the U of MN park in the Northrop ramp - so the spaces fill up quickly.

You can also park in the Washington Avenue ramp, which is never out of space, but is a ways from the Northrop Auditorium. I am an alumni of the U of MN so I know my way around the Northrop quite well, so getting from the ramp the Northrop Auditorium is not difficult. It is kind of a maze, the Northrop Auditorium is in the middle of the East Bank and the maps on campus are a little confusing.

So next time you have your Northrop Auditorium tickets for Louie Anderson, Mariah Carey, or one of their dance exhibitions remember to plan ahead when you are looking for Northrop Auditorium parking. The early bird definitely gets the worm (or the better parking spot!)
