Maroon 5 concert switched to Fraze from Fifth Third Field

KETTERING — The Maroon 5 concert planned for Aug. 31 at Fifth Third Field has been moved to Fraze Pavilion in Kettering.

The move is because of production logistics, according to Tom Nichols, director of media relations/broadcasting for the Dayton Dragons. Nichols said he was unsure of what exactly the production issue was .

Nichols said it was an isolated incident and Fifth Third Field plans future concerts. Nichols pointed out successful concerts at the stadium, including Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams and John Mellencamp.

“We will have future concerts, and we have had successful concerts in the past,” he said.

According to Maroon 5’s website, this is the second recent venue change for the group. An August concert at the Verizon Wireless Center in Noblesville, Ind., was rescheduled to Sept. 1 at Murat Theatre in Indianapolis.

The venue is the only change in the local Maroon 5 appearance. The show will still start at 7 p.m. and include guests Kris Allen, V.V. Brown and MIGGS.

The Fraze is selling tickets at its box office. The phone number is (937) 296-3300. Tickets are also available at Dayton Dragon ticket offices, all Ticketmaster locations, TicketMaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000.

Tickets are $55 and $40, the same price as they were at Fifth Third Field.

Those who bought tickets at Fifth Third Field must exchange them at the stadium, starting Monday, Aug. 23. Tickets purchased at a Ticketmaster outlet can be exchanged at point of purchase also beginning on Monday. Tickets purchased online or by phone via Ticketmaster will be contacted by Ticketmaster directly beginning Monday to arrange exchange.

The Devonshires were scheduled to perform at the Fraze Aug. 31. As a result, their performance is postponed until the Fraze Pavilion’s 20th anniversary in 2011.
