Student tickets $10/$15
For a few years, John R. Emens Auditorium has been trying to book The Fray for a student concert at Ball State. This year, everything fell into place.
Tickets for the Sept. 10 concert go on sale for students at 7 a.m. Friday.
“Every year we have a student concert,” said Kristi Chambers, assistant director of marketing and communications at Emens. “Last year was Jason Mraz, this year is The Fray. We couldn’t put [tickets] on sale until students got back, so it is a really quick turn around.”
The Fray’s “Helios” tour is selling tickets between $45 and $150 on their international tour. Ball State students can purchase $15 tickets for the pit and front section, and $10 for any other seats.
Chambers said each Ball State student can also purchase a guest ticket for $30 for the pit and $25 for any other seats.
If Emens’ 3,300 seats aren’t sold by the Aug. 29, the tickets will go on sale for Ball State faculty and staff. If by Sept. 3 the tickets are still not sold, they will be released to the public on Ticketmaster.
To encourage students to line up Thursday night, Emens is giving away prizes every hour.
“There are going to be six giveaways, but it’s going to be for multiple people” Chambers said. “We have a bunch of t-shirts and bags from T.I.S., we’re going to have Jimmy John’s, Pita Pit – a lot of things like that. We’re going to go out and get a Fray album. The finale prize is going to be a Fray t-shirt and CD.”
