CONFIRMED: Kelly Clarkson at OFEC in March

***UPDATE 8:43 P.M.:*** We now have complete ticket info courtesy of Dwight Glenn Productions. Tickets will range from $34 to $49, depending on seating, and the entire floor section will be general admission and standing room only. Doors are scheduled to open at 6:30 p.m. with music beginning at 7:30.

***UPDATE 1:02 P.M.:*** Drury University’s Mark Miller and local concert promoter Dwight Glenn are both confirming the concert as taking place March 14 and that tickets will go on sale December 2 through the Drury ticketing site. A press release from Miller does not confirm ticket prices, but Glenn tells us tickets will sell for $49 and less. That’s not a concrete set of prices yet, but it’s something.

Drury University’s O’Reilly Family Event Center is raising the local American Idol concert ante—former winners David Cook and Scotty McCreery are already on the way—by bringing the show’s first champion, Kelly Clarkson, to SGF for a concert Wednesday, March 14 with opener Matt Nathanson. The concert is currently listed on Clarkson’s website and Pollstar, but has yet to be formally announced by OFEC or a local promoter. According to Clarkson’s site, fan club tickets are scheduled to go on sale November 30 and be available to the public December 2. Having a two-time Grammy winner with one of the most powerful voices in modern pop music coming to SGF’s newest big-ticket venue is obviously big news, but we’ll have to wait just a bit longer for more official details regarding ticket cost and more. We’ll keep you posted; this will be developing fast.
