Tickets for the May 1 Elvis Costello concert fell just shy of selling out yesterday, as students lined up outside Holyoke Center Ticket Office as early as 3:30 a.m. to secure seats for the show.
Due to the overwhelming turnout among undergraduates, almost 2700 seats were sold in eight hours, according to organizers. The 100 remaining tickets to see Elvis will go on sale today at 9:00 a.m.
Because big house parties tend to draw peoplecampuswide, "I don't see the point in [thecouncil's] throwing a party," said Pieter M. Pil'88. The council should stick to events out of thehouse committees' purview, such as sponsoring theupcoming Elvis Costello concert, Pil added.
And the raft entries had better be creative. Trophies will be offered for those judged most unique. Prizes slated for the winners of each contest include Elvis Costello tickets, a keg of beer and food.
Other fans had a more humorous attitude while waiting. "I'm hoping to get the front row. I love Elvis Costello," quipped Fred R. Pletcher '88.
