Indie-groove band Goose coming to CSU for fall concert after 2 soldout shows at Red Rocks
Colorado State University is bringing the American indie-groove band Goose to campus for a concert Saturday, Oct. 7, the day after the second of its two sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, school officials announced Wednesday.
Student tickets are available for free on a first-come, first-served basis while available through the Lory Student Center Box Office, using student's netID login. Only a limited quantity will be offered. The concert, offered in partnership with AEG Presents, will be held on the West Lawn of the Lory Student Center, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Gates will open at 5 p.m., CSU said in the announcement on its online publication, Source.
General admission and VIP tickets, priced at $50 and $100 apiece, respectively, will be sold through on online lottery on the band’s website, www.goosetheband.com/tour. Lottery requests can be made any time before 3 p.m. Sept. 11, and all requests will be treated equally, regardless of when they were received. Winners will be notified at 4 p.m. Sept. 11. There is a two-ticket limit per order. Tickets are nontransferrable and will be issued the morning of the show. No refunds will be allowed, officials said.
“Northern Colorado’s thriving music scene is part of what makes our community so special and what makes Fort Collins one of the best college towns in the country,” CSU President Amy Parsons told CSU's Source. “We’re thrilled to be part of this broader ecosystem and to offer outstanding live music to all members of our campus community and the broader community.”

CSU has hosted a number of top musical performers over the years, including The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Macklemore, Nico & Vinz, Ludacris, Chicago, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
