Mystic Lake slashes prices, loses one act in Super Bowl concert mix

Gwen Stefani and other acts in the shelved Club Nomadic series suddenly got a lot cheaper, but not Florida Georgia Line.

After Mystic Lake's ambitious Club Nomadic concert series for Super Bowl revelers abruptly fell apart last week, the leftover pieces have fallen into place – although one of the acts has fallen off the calendar altogether.

Prices for all the shows have been slashed except one, Florida Georgia Line's Feb. 3 performance. However, electropop singer Ellie Goulding has cancelled her Feb. 2 appearance, leaving her co-headliner Kygo (a Norwegian dance DJ) to perform solo that night.

For fans who paid the full $125-$200 prices to get inside the now-shelved Club Nomadic entertainment compound, Mystic Lake is offering a slightly oxymoronic-sounding "premium general admission experience" if they hold onto their tickets. Otherwise, refunds to all the concerts are being offered, and cheaper tickets to the three shows besides FGL are now on sale, along with new VIP options. Contact the Mystic Lake box office at 952-496-6563, visit mysticlake.com or Ticketmaster.com.

The three newly discounted performances – the Chainsmokers, Kygo and Gwen Stefani – are moving into Mystic Lake Center, where meetings and weddings are held. FGL is the only gig being moved into the Mystic Showroom, where concerts are typically held.

These shows are no longer affilliated with Nomadic Entertainment, the NFL-affiliated company that – as far as we know – are still putting on the Nomadic Live series at the Armory, although Nomadic and Armory representatives have not responded to requests for more information on those events.
