I don't see us sitting together at the concert so I'm just gonna go see my friend in Sacramento this weekend.

Is this sentence native?

 

[MikeNewYork]

It would be natural in informal speech, but "gonna" is nonstandard English. I don't really understand the opening part.

My friend invited me to a jazz concert but I couldn't get seats next to her because I decided to join them last minute. So, I say:

I don't see us sitting together at the concert so I'm just going to go see my friend in Sacramento this weekend.

 

[MikeNewYork]

I get it!

 

[B45]

I get it!

Native approved?

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes.

As far as I know "to be going to" + "go" isn't a good choice. Am I right?

No. I'm going to go on vacation next week.

I suppose I heard it from an Englishman. :-D

As far as I know, we can also say " I'm seeing my friend this weekend". Am I right?

Not a teacher.

"to be going to" + "go" is correct in BrE, too.
