(Photo from joonbug.com)Girl Talk tickets went on sale to UConn students today for his Feb. 13 show at Jorgensen. When I heard the news yesterday, I freaked out. Girl Talk shows are sick. Everyone goes up on stage. Everyone goes crazy. And his music is just a lot of fun. Girl Talk says he's not a DJ, but he mixes songs in incredible ways. You get well-known and obscure rap mixed with oldies and pop songs in all his mash-ups, and it's all ridiculously danceable.
So here's the deal: General admission tickets are $20 for students, $30 for non, and balcony seats are $20 for students, $10 for non. They went on sale to students this morning at 11, and they're on sale to the public Friday at 11. The show is Saturday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. at the Jorgensen theater on the UConn campus in Storrs.
And now here's the bad news: We got stuck with balcony seats because there was a crazy line at the Jorg, and by the time our friend got up to the window to buy tickets, general admission was sold out! We won't get the full-effect of a Girl Talk show since we'll be in seats, but I think we can make the most of it. Also, we're not giving up on trying to get general admission, so I'll be on the lookout for people selling them.
And now here's the ironic part: I saw Girl Talk at Trinity College in Hartford just over a year ago, and it was crazy fun, despite some security/finding a way home issues. Looking back on my review, it looks like I was rambling a lot, so excuse me for that, but if you're interested in seeing how the show went at Trinity, check it out here: http://freesiasingngam.blogspot.com/2008/09/926-girl-talk.html.
And let me just point out that the show at Trinity was free for students and $5 for non-students, and the field house venue wasn't nearly full. Either Girl Talk has since blown up or UConn students just have good taste in music. It sucks that we couldn't get general admission tickets and get the full effect, but taking a step back, it's pretty cool that Girl Talk is getting this response.

You can still buy balcony tickets online. http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=23398
It only says "Sold Out" for "Girl Talk - General Admission" but if you look right above it, "Girl Talk - Assigned" is still on sale.
