There Goes The Hype…Hough Concert Delayed

Julianne Hough was supposed to be at Marietta College April 24th…two weeks from now.  However, due to her commitment to “Dancing with the Stars,” the concert has been delayed until June 1st.  I’m sure the five students and ten area fans are disappointed to hear about the delay.

If you bought a ticket through iTickets, you have until May 18th to get a rebate on your tickets if you cannot attend on the new date.

Unlike the sell-out crowd that packed the DBRC back in 2007, selling tickets for the ballroom dancer turned country singer  has been difficult.  Tickets are still on sale for the new date.  Marietta College students, staff, and faculty are eligible for reduced-rate tickets at $19.  Regular price is $23 for general admission, and $28 for VIP tickets.

Doors open at 6:30, concert starts at 7:30 with opening act Phil Stacey (former American Idol finalist).

Julianne Hough Coming to MC

Evidently it’s time for another large-scale concert at Marietta College.

Following the success of Taylor Swift, Julianne Hough will be at Marietta College’s Dyson-Baudo Recreation Center April 24th, 2009.

The two-time “Dancing with the Stars” champion, who is also evidently moving up in the music business, will have former American Idol finalist Phil Stacey opening the show. Read more…
