Wisconsin’s favorite ‘American Idol’ to play Weidner Center

Milwaukee native Danny Gokey, an ‘American Idol’ runner-up several seasons ago and a pop-country success with his debut album, will play the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts at UW-Green Bay for one show only on Thursday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m.  Tickets go on sale this Friday (Oct. 15) at 11 a.m. at most Ticket Star locations (see caveat in next item, below).

No tickets, yet, at Union’s ticketing/information desk

While tickets for a pair of Weidner Center dates — Danny Gokey in November and Bryan Adams in December — WILL go on sale this Friday morning (Oct. 15) at Ticket Star outlets, they WON’T be available here. Yet. The University Ticketing and Information Center informs us that they’re waiting on computer equipment and software training and likely won’t be able to sell Gokey or Adams tickets over the counter that first day.
