Goo Goo Dolls Tickets at Pala Casino

By: Jamie    Category: Pala Casino Events Center, Concerts

The Goo Goo Dolls are coming to the Pala Casino this February. I’ve never been to a concert at Pala but I hear these casinos have some great venues. It’s exciting that the Goo Goo Dolls are coming to San Diego. I love them. I remember when I was in high school and hearing the single “Name.” I remember trying to figure out what the name of that song was. Since then I’ve been a big fan. They put out some great music so they are sure to be a great band to see on stage. If you want tickets here’s what you can do.

Check out AIW Tickets they have tickets for $175.

You can also check out these sites to see what they have available:

TicketsNow also has seats available starting at $155. Lastly, check out StubHub. They aren’t showing any inventory right now, but that may change.

Here’s some info about the Goo’s from Wiki:

It was not until the release of their single “Name” from the same album that the Goo Goo Dolls experienced any commercial success. A Boy Named Goo became the first album in Metal Blade history to achieve double platinum status. The undisputed success of “Name” marked a fundamental change in the band’s sound toward a more polished, commercial direction.

In 1998, “Iris” was released on the City of Angels soundtrack, and the Goos were propelled to stardom, as the song stayed on the Billboard charts at number one for 18 weeks and was nominated for three Grammys that year. The song was also included on their sixth album, Dizzy Up the Girl, which was released that same year and spawned single hits “Slide”, “Iris”, “Black Balloon”, “Broadway” and “Dizzy.” The album’s slick production and toned-down edge put off many long time fans, feeling the Goo Goo Dolls had abandoned their college/indie rock roots. However, they were replaced with legions of new fans; a result of the band’s mainstream exposure. (Most Goo Goo Dolls concert sets feature few, if any, songs the band wrote before 1995, reflecting the band’s more current mainstream sound.) Although the lyrics to “Black Balloon” are vague and unclear, as this is an essential aspect of Rzeznik’s style of writing, the song, according to the lead-singer himself, regards drug abuse and the emotional consequences of indulging in them. In 2001, the Goos released their first ever compilation CD, What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce. Next, Gutterflower (2002) achieved gold certification, producing the hits “Here Is Gone”, “Sympathy”, and “Big Machine”. 2004 saw the release of the Goo’s Live in Buffalo: July 4th 2004 which propelled “Give a Little Bit” to #1 on the US Adult Top 40 chart.
