Northrop Auditorium tickets

If you are looking for holiday gift ideas for someone difficult to buy for maybe take a look at the upcoming ballet and dance events at the Northrop. Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale now for the winter dance season which primarily includes ballets.

The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will take the stage on Tuesday, March 8th at 7:30. Their performance is called "Trace, In Hidden Seconds, Red Sweet."

The Paul Taylor Dance Company stars in "Cloven Kingdom, Brief Encounters, Esplanade" on Tuesday, November 30th. A little early for holiday gifts, but sounds interesting nonetheless.

February 3rd, 2011 the Northrop Auditorium will host "Swan Lake" from the Voronezh State Ballet Theatre of Russia.

Northrop Auditorium tickets are available for all of these shows in a variety of price levels.

Does the Northrop Auditorium Need Upgrades?

I'm a guest blogger today for the Northrop Auditorium website. I come to the blog asking one major question: Does the Northrop need upgrades to attract more big ticket performers? We know what the Northrop Auditorium is and what it is like. Unfortunately, the Northrop Auditorium does not attract big ticket performers. So my question is what recommendations would you give the Northrop Auditorium in order to get bigger names? Feel free to leave comments and suggestions.

Northrop Auditorium tickets

Not a lot has been going on the Northrop lately. However, one very notable public figure will be making a very rare special appearance this spring: The Dalai Lama.

Mariucci Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale now for the May 8th Dalai Lama event. Expect security to be abundant and the campus area to be hectic. Maybe finals week is not the best week for this appearance. Although I am sure the Center for Spirituality and Healing (who is presenting the event) had little to do with the date. The Dalai Lama will speak when the Dalai Lama will speak, no?

This will be the Dalai Lama's first trip to the US since 2001. The theme of the event is "One Heart, One Mind, One Soul." Not only seen as a spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama will speak on his ethics, happiness, harmonies, identity, culture, and religion.

Mariucci Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale now for this event, however, run a quite a steep price. Ticket prices go up to over $200 per ticket. That is a little steep for the everyday college student. This is a once in a lifetime event - perhaps its something that you cannot really 'put' a price on?

Furthur tickets

Nope, that is not a spelling mishap. That is really how Phil Lesh and Bob Weir spell their musical outfit, Furthur. Loved by Greatful Deadheads and hippies alike.

The touring band that Phil and Bob are touring with is quite an impressive cast. Jeff Chimenti (of RatDog), Joe Russo (toured with the beloved Trey Anastasio), and John Kadlecik (Dark Star Orchestra). That is pretty much the dream list to any jam band lover's guest list, no?

Formed in 2009, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir created Furthur. Before then they crossed paths again they had been touring independently. I think the Further show will do well in Minneapolis, we love our jam bands around here. One of the more beloved local bands is Trampled By Turtles.

Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale now for Furthur: Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. This show at the Northrop will definitely sell out so don't miss the Monday, November 8th performance.

Lady Antebellum tickets

Are you read for some Lady A? Lady Antebellum is at the Northrop Auditorium tomorrow for a sold out show. If you are still looking for Northrop Auditorium tickets for the Lady Antebellum show you might want to snap them up asap. The only way to get them is in the secondary market and there are not many of them.

Lady Antebellum is touring with there "I need you now 2010 Tour." The tour has sold out in every city it's booked in, Chicago even has two shows. Lady Antebellum was recently nominated for 5 American Music Awards - one of their competitors in the 'best group' category is Train. Now, I am no country fan, but I will be rooting for Lady A any day before I root for Train.

Northrop Tickets are also on sale for their 2010 winter dance season which include:
U of MN Dance Performance (Thursdays in October)
Paul Taylor Dance Company (Thuesday, Nov 30)
Northrop Auditorium tickets are free for those dance events.

Lady Antebellum tickets

Looking for Lady Antebellum tickets? Good luck - the Northrop Auditorium has a pretty hot show on their hands. To tell you the truth, I do not know a whole lot about lady Antebellum - I know that they should for sure have booked a larger venue, like the Target Center.

Lady Antebellum reached the most desired success that a country band could want: crossover success. Their song "Need You Know" was a top 40 hit on the county charts and the pop charts. Few artists can achieve dual market success and when they do it is always a hot concert ticket!

The Nashville, Tennessee trio has had quite a year. They won the Grammy for best country song in 2009 and made a splash at the American Country Music awards as well. The trio had an 'in' in the music industry, singer Hillary Scott is the daughter of country music star Linda Davis and guitarist Charley Kelley is the brother to pop star Josh Kelley. It's easy to get your foot in the door when you're already in, no?

Lady Antebellum tickets are on sale now through secondary vendors, however, it looks like the Northrop Auditorium tickets are sold out from the Northrop.
