Don't "Hinder" to "Goo" to the Spring Concert
Student Events Team chooses rock over pop

Two nights of rock with The Goo Goo Dolls and Hinder.
The rumors were going on before anything was announced, but the wait for the decision on who will play for the Spring Concert is finally over. Student Events team and administrators decided on having two rock concerts performing bands include Hinder and the Goo Goo Dolls.
After setting the bar so high with having the Black Eyed Peas and the ****cat Dolls last spring, Student Events wanted to keep it up with a well known band, but decided to change the genre to accommodate all students' interests and go rock instead of pop this Spring.
"I am thrilled that this year there is a rock band that is coming to our campus, the Goo Goo Dolls are one of the bands that everyone will enjoy," said Amy Dion, sophomore, Marion, Mass.
Each year Sacred Heart University meets with their event agent that provides a list of performers that are willing to play at college campuses.
Administrators and student government, student life and others who know the needs and wants of our campus gather to decide the best music pick for our campus.
This year the group planned to have Hinder open for the Goo Goo Dolls, but Hinder was willing to do their own concert. So the decision was made to have two concerts instead of just one.
The Goo Goo Dolls concert will be held March 23 and Hinder will be held on April 27. Both concerts will be held at the Pitt Center beginning at 8 p.m. and doors opening at 7 p.m. There will be a concession stand and a merchandise table for the fans.
"It's nice to see rock bands come to play rather then some pop group, I have always been a fan of the Goo Goo Dolls, but just have never seen them." said Erin Barry, senior, Pompton Plains, N.J. "I can't wait to hear the Goo Goo Dolls play their song, Iris."
"Lips of an Angel" is Hinders most popular song now on the radio. The Goo Goo Dolls are best known for the song "Iris" from the City of Angels soundtrack.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, February sixth and will be sold in Hawley lounge. Tickets will only be available to full time undergraduate students from 8 to 10 a.m. Tickets for the Goo Goo Dolls are $15 dollars each and for Hinder they are $12 dollars each.
Student price is valid all day. To accommodate the students interest in both of the bands, a package deal will be offered $20 for both concerts saving students $7. After February sixth all tickets will be general admission and open to the public. It will be $25 for the Goo Goo Dolls and $20 for Hinder.
"The student package deal will definitely have an impact on how many students will come, no doubt they will sell out." said Kelly Linskey, junior, Seal Beach, Calif.
