Does anyone know how to get tickets?

Their website is www.westminster-mo.edu I believe that tickets for the general public go on sale on Monday, but don't quote me. They have an official ticket site where you can buy the tickets from. I don't think David is listed on their site just yet, though. You can call this number for more info - 573.592.6045.

That probably is much help, is it? LOL If I hear anything else, I'll post it here.

I did get to talk to the activities director today at Westminster College. She told me that tickets go on sale Monday 2/2 at 8 am... Tickets will be $10 for the general public and only 350 tickets will be sold. She also told me that students get in free and they have the opportunity to get tickets tomorrow. She said that you can purchase tickets online at their website, there will be a link on Monday directing you there. Or you can call the number to the college. Hope that helps and good luck to all!

Does anyone know if there is an opening band for this show?

Do any of you guys know how far this is from...say St. Louis?
I really want to go but according to google it's like 2 hours away from where i live
and this is the closest he's going to be from my house...I'm going to be really sad if i can't go...

Google is right. Fulton is just southeast of Columbia. If you're coming from St. Louis you would turn south just before you get to Columbia. For those of us in the KC area we have to go through Columbia, then south. We stayed in Fulton several years ago at a bed and breakfast (celebrating an anniversay). The B&B was right by the college. I've thought about trying to get to this one but
if they are only selling 350 I don't like my chances.

Thanks a lot, my mom thought it might be around Columbia, but we weren't sure
...2 hours seems kind of far, especially on a Tuesday
If only it was on a Saturday night or something
Well I guess I'll have to wait a little bit before I see him again
Hopefully he'll come a bit closer in the future.

Public tickets are sold out.

Public Tickets - SOLD OUT!!


Presented by the
Westminster College Student Government Association

Seating is general admission - $10 per ticket.
Limit 2 tickets per person.
Only 400 tickets available to the general public.
Doors open at 7:30pm

I don't think the Westminster ticket site knew what hit them! I got in at about 7:58 and once I had entered all of my information including credit card info (there was NO way to preregister), it took almost 8 minutes before I got my confirmation. The message said that under heavy usage, it might take 3 minutes to get registered. My friend also was trying to get tickets, but she didn't start until 7:59. By that time, the site was getting slammed, and her registration kept getting timed out. She perservered, and we now have 4 tickets between us. There are 4 VERY happy DC fans in south central Missouri

Congrats, Ozark word nerd.

I tried to get them online, but it kept giving me an error after waiting for the 3+ minutes. I was also trying to call, and finally got through there. I got two tickets, gave them my name and phone number, and they said I could pick them up the day of the show. I wish that there was some kind of confirmation number, though. I think that I'm going to try to call them later this week again, just to confirm that I have the tickets.

I'm so freaking excited, though!

Congrats to you too! I got a confirmation number with my online order, so I definitely would call in a day or so (I'm sure the staff needs some recovery time) to get some kind of confirmation that they have your order.

Hope to meet you at the show since we've been "talking" to each other on and off for a few months. I can't believe that in 3 weeks we'll be seeing David Cook at Westminster College. It's surreal.

Oh my gosh! I didn't even realize it was that soon. I was just so worried about getting tickets that I didn't even pay attention to the date, lol.

I hope to meet you (and many other David fans) as well. This is going to be so much fun.

Does anyone know how big this venue is? It says that 400 tickets were avaliable to the general public, but that tickets were free to students. I was just wondering how many people would be there. I have been trying to determine how early I need to be there since there is no assigned seating.

I was looking for this too; their site says 1,400 seats.

Everyone have a great time at the concert!!!

Have a great time everyone!

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes! I am at work now and can hardly stand to be here. Will be leaving in about an hour and hope to be on the Westminster campus about 3. In about 9 hours, I will be seeing David and the band live and in the flesh. OMG!!!!!!

I hope you had a GREAT time--can't wait to hear your recap!!

OMG this is the first time I've seen Terry the Assistant Light Tech! LMAO
