A&O Concerts

A&O Productions is proud to announce that six-time Grammy Award winner John Legend is coming to Northwestern University on Friday, October 9th in Welsh-Ryan Arena (Northwestern’s main basketball arena). The “Ordinary People” singer is no ordinary artist, and this is no ordinary A&O show. The show will be a part of the festivities celebrating the Inauguration of incoming President Morton Schapiro, and is A&O’s first show in Welsh-Ryan since Kanye West in 2005. Welsh-Ryan is the BIGGEST venue A&O has ever held a concert in, so get excited to party with more students than ever. Opening for Legend will be a TBA Special Guest.

Tickets are $10 for Undergrads and go on sale online this Thursday, Sept. 24th at 10:30am, using the Norris Box Office online system.  Tickets will go on sale to Graduate Students, faculty, and staff on October 1st for $17. (Please see note below.) Undergraduates may purchase 4 tickets per Wildcard, and you can now print the tickets out right at home (goodbye Norris Box Office lines)! All tickets include transportation to and from the venue; buses will be making the short trip from campus to Welsh-Ryan because we know Legend will leave you weak in the knees. Free shuttle busses will leave from the Arch, Foster/Ridge, and Tech beginning at 6:00PM. Floor seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at 7:00pm. Show begins at 8:00pm. And remember, this is a closed show — WildCARDs will be checked at the door. Doors will open at 7, show at 8.

We had an extremely enthusiastic student response to our upcoming Joshua Radin concert on March 1st and all available passes have been picked up from the Norris Box Office. If students are still looking to attend the event, the best option is to find a friend with an extra pass. However, in an effort to fill as many seats as possible, a pass will only guarantee a seat if presented no later than 8:20 pm (10 minutes before the start of the event). At that point we will begin seating students without passes and any empty seat will be filled.
