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!)

Louie Anderson tickets

Louispalooza is only a few days away! Louie Anderson tickets sold like hot cakes this holiday season. There are very few Northrop Auditorium tickets left for Louie's not one, but TWO holiday shows on January 2nd, 2010.

As I have blogged before Louis Anderson always performs two shows around New years Day, which ever date is closer to a weekend. This year January 2nd is on a Saturday allowing Louis Anderson and friends to have a 5pm and 8:30pm show.

Very limited Northrop Auditorium tickets are available for both Louie Anderson shows. Plan ahead if you think you want to bring in the 2nd day of the new year with Louie. You don't want to be left outside in the cold and miss all of the laughs!

Louie Anderson - two performances - one day only - Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 5pm and 8:30pm - with special guests Scott Hansen and Mary Mack!

Mariah Carey tickets

Pop songstress and superstar Mariah Carey has just announced a show at the Northrop Auditorium on February 16th, 2010. This show comes as a surprise to Mariah Carey fans because in her 20 year career she has only embarked on 3 tours. Considering her vast catalog of hit pop songs that is not a lot of road time!

Northrop Auditorium tickets onsale dates and times have not been announced yet, nor has the opening act been announced. Perhaps it will be her actor hubby Nick Cannon?! It could be a supergroup tour of sorts!

Although no information about Mariah Carey at Northrop Auditorium has been announced, I am sure Northrop Auditorium tickets will not be cheap, I can see Mariah Carey having an extremely high face value for her premium seats. And it is possible that the show will sell out seeing as she does not tour frequently - making her shows a big deal!

Come on, don't you want to see "Emotions" live? Just a little ....

Stay tuned for onsale dates and times!

U2 Tickets Minneapolis

The Univerity of Minnesota will not know what to do with itself this June - it is about to be rocked like it has never been rocked before.

Don't miss the concert event of 2010!

Zac Brown Tickets Now Available

New show announced at the Northrop! This show is a little out of character for the Northrop - the Zac Brown Band is bringing a whole lot of country to the U of MN campus this winter. It will be tough for Minneapolis concert goers to choose between Zac Brown and Bryan Adams - both concerts are taking place on the same night.

Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale now for the show on December 5th.

The Zac Brown Band is on tour in support of their album "The Foundation" which was released in 2008. They are known for their songs, "Chicken Fried", "Whatever It Is" and "Toes."

I am not much of a country fan so i might be sitting this one out!

Louis Anderson's Annual Holiday Show

Louis Anderson has announced his annual holiday season show at the Northrop Auditorium. Usually the show falls on New Year's Eve, however, the show this year will be on January 2nd. If you were planning on bringing in another New Year with good ol' Louis at least you have enough notice to find other plans.

If you are looking for a time to see Louis Anderson before then I believe he has a show coming up very soon at Treasure Island Casino.

Louis Anderson, a native of Minnesota from Minneapolis was raised in St. Paul - this year's New Years Eve show (well, almost) is his 4th year of performing this annual event. You may know Louis Anderson from his ongoing Comedy Stint in Las Vegas which has kept him busy. Before Vegas, Louis Anderson had the Louis Anderson cartoon show and very briefly hosted the revival of Family Feud - I love that show!

Northrop Auditorium tickets for Louis Anderson went on sale last week and they are now available. Louis Anderson tickets will sell out for this show, a lot of his fans and family look forward to this yearly event.
