Britney Spears announces Ohio concert date

By alarsen | Tuesday, December 16, 2008, 05:42 PM

It was just announced that Britney Spears will appear at Columbus’ Value City Arena on April 30, 2009 with the Pussycat Dolls in tow (A little trivia for you: Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger went to school at Wright State University). The Columbus concert is one of several additional tour dates added this week.

Tickets to the Spears show go on sale this Saturday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. at the Schottenstein Center Box Office and Ticketmaster Centers. Charge at (614) 431-3600 or online at ticketmaster.com. The show is in the round with a GA floor set-up (no chairs on the floor).

The tour — “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” — is her first tour in five years. Her sixth studio album “Circus” was released earlier this month on Dec. 2. The 27-city North American tour will kick off on March 3, 2009 in New Orleans.

On October 15, Spears’ single, “Womanizer,” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and garnered first-week download sales of 286,000 — the biggest opening-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003.

Tickets are priced at $128, $98, $58 and $42.50.

Wonder if her Good Morning America performance will give any indication of what’s in store when she makes it to Ohio in April … video of that’s below in case you missed it. Are you excited to see her or in your opinion is her day as a pop culture ring master over?
