I just had a staff meeting with my Niswonger team members this morning and an interesting point was made as we were talking about ticket sales.\u00a0 When you plan a season of 26 different events, you never really know what the public will take to \u2026 and what they may not!\u00a0 There are some concerts you think are slam-dunk winners in the public eye, but there are also sometimes surprises.<\/p>\n
Although I felt booking the Texas Tenors was a good idea, I had no idea they might be the first concert to sell out.\u00a0 After all, they are not until April 17 of next year.\u00a0 Well, as it stands right now, there are less than 100 tickets left to sell for their concert at the Niswonger.<\/p>\n
What makes all this even more ironic is that they are part of the Community Concert Series this year.\u00a0And although over 500 people bought the entire package of five concerts, another 500 plus have selected the Texas Tenors as part of their Select Series.\u00a0 I will admit that their PBS special is outstanding, but I really had no idea so many would be this interested.<\/p>\n
This being said, if we have only about 100 tickets remaining, that means once they sell out, we can no longer offer the complete series of Community Concerts.\u00a0 So, I just want to make everyone aware that the \u201cdeal of the century\u201d- five concerts starting out for just $60, may soon disappear!<\/p>\n
And what are those five concerts?\u00a0 Just to remind you, they include Ethan Bortnick, Christmas with the DePue Brothers, the zany Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, Riders in the Sky\u2019s salute to Roy Rogers and the Texas Tenors.\u00a0 Each of these shows is selling quite well, but it is certainly those tenors from Texas who are putting the series availability in jeopardy.<\/p>\n
Now that we are talking about concerts at the Niswonger in jeopardy of selling out, I should mention that our opening concert with American Idol winner and Country\/Christian singing sensation Scotty McCreery, is right on the heels of the Texas Tenors.\u00a0 We will be on location selling tickets at the Van Wert County Fair, and I have a good idea that we will be sold out for Scotty once the fair is over.\u00a0Remember, you can get tickets online at NPACVW.ORG<\/a>, as well as by calling the box office at 419.238.NPAC (6722.)\u00a0 Of course Jerry loves seeing you face to face at the box office too from noon to 4 p.m.\u00a0 Scotty\u2019s concert is September 20 at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n This also gives me the opportunity to transition to the fair.\u00a0In case you haven\u2019t heard, Charlie Daniels will be in concert at the fair on September 1, the day before the fair officially opens.\u00a0 That means you don\u2019t have to pay to get into the fairgrounds.\u00a0 Good call!<\/p>\n Charlie is a friend of the Niswonger, having performed here back in 2010.\u00a0That\u2019s nearly five years ago — hard to believe!\u00a0 I remember Charlie being very gracious and warm.\u00a0His concert was exciting and enjoyable, but as I told the fair representatives, I think Charlie Daniels is even better outside.\u00a0I heard him outside several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed him.\u00a0What a fun time!<\/p>\n The Van Wert County Fair is taking a step forward in bringing a big name performer like Charlie in once again.\u00a0His show will be clean, family oriented, country, southern rock and probably even a little patriotic.\u00a0I think he is a perfect fit for the Van Wert County Fair.\u00a0Tell your friends and relatives that we need to support the fair and that a good time will surely be awaiting those who attend.<\/p>\n FIN\u00c9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just had a staff meeting with my Niswonger team members this morning and an interesting point was made as we were talking about ticket sales.\u00a0 When you plan a season of 26 different events, you never really know what the public will take to \u2026 and what they may not!\u00a0 There are some concerts […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-21 18:01:26","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67267\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
