50% Off Discount Tickets to A Wrinkle in Time at Lyric Arts in Anoka

April 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment

A Wrinkle in Time has been on our minds lately due to the recent movie release. Now you and your family can see the stage version at Lyric Arts Main Street Stage in Anoka! Tickets are normally $22, but when you order through Goldstar you can get them for just $11 (plus fees).

Before it became a Hollywood blockbuster, A Wrinkle in Time was a classic YA novel about three kids who teleport across space in search of their scientist father. Now, Madeleine L’Engle’s Newbery Medal-winning tale comes to the stage in a new play from Lyric Arts in Anoka. Join Meg, Charles and Calvin as they set off with Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which to rescue their father from The IT, an evil being trying to take over the universe! Together they’ll prove that love can overcome evil. Don’t miss this imaginative family adventure as it comes to life on stage.

Please note: A Wrinkle in Time is recommended for ages 8 and up. As a courtesy to other patrons, children under age 5 will not be admitted. This is a one act play running 75-80 minutes with no intermission.

There’s even a diving board and a double water slide. And the main pool is just one of the highlights. A children’s wading pool with a zero-depth entry awaits youngsters, and a concession stand complete with umbrella-covered tables gives folks a place to refuel.

St. Paul Saints Baseball Discount Tickets

April 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment

St. Paul Saints Baseball Discount Tickets

I know, I know…there’s snow on the ground, but it IS spring and time to think about baseball! If you’re planning to go to a St. Paul Saints game this spring/summer, don’t pay full price for your tickets – save by getting St. Paul Saints Baseball Discount Tickets through Goldstar. They have tickets for select games from 5/22-7/9 for $9 apiece + a service fee of $3.25 (so $12.25 total).

These tickets are for the Outfield Reserved section (regular price $14 – periwinkle in the diagram above).

You can always just get berm admission for $5 apiece at the gate, but the view isn’t as good (obviously). The berm is a large grassy hill located above the bullpen, behind left field (see the picture at the top of this post for a view from the berm). There is a limit of 8 tickets per person for berm tickets.

Catching an MLB game at a big stadium is great, but there’s a special kind of fun you have from watching pro baseball in a more intimate setting — especially if that setting is beautiful CHS Field and the team is the St. Paul Saints. Part of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, the Saints play the game at a thrillingly high level, with a roster that includes young players on their way up to the big leagues. Come out and enjoy a fun night of baseball against the backdrop of the beautiful downtown St. Paul skyline while sipping on local brews and snacking on tasty local bites.
