Hey Beatles fans!! Tickets on sale NOW
Did you know…? It has been almost 50 years since the Beatles one and only Minnesota performance at the Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington With tickets prices at $3.50, $4.50 and $5.50, they sold 28,000 tickets to the Aug. 21, 1965 concert The Beatles performed for about 30 minutes, offering 12 songs The decibel level of the audience was so high that the Beatles could not hear themselves play through the woefully inadequate public-address system Before the concert, the Beatles staged a press conference in the stadium's Minnesota Room. Our favorite question: "Is your hair real?" George: "Our hair's real, lady. What about yours?" The highlight of the press conference came when the host, Twin Cities disc jockey Bill Diehl from WDGY, introduced two staffers from Minneapolis' B-Sharp Music, who presented George Harrison with a new Rickenbacker 360-12 guitar on behalf of the musicians of Minnesota. George "lit up like a kid in a candy store" when he received the new 12-string model The Beatles' performance in Minnesota caused regional guitar sales to boom. "We couldn't keep them on the walls in the store for months after the show," said B-Sharp's Butwin. "Guitar sales alone must have quintupled." Met Stadium was demolished in 1985 to make way for the Mall of America, which opened there in 1992
