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

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?

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.

I get it!

Native approved?

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

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