October 2.200? 5 Ludacris sells out in record time By Michael Everman PUISE WRITE R Camping outside Anderson Arena the night before tickets go on sale for a UAO sponsored concert has become a tradition for some sin- dents. This year the tradition contin- ued. If anyone was walking in front of Anderson Arena on Sept. 11 and wondered what people were doing setting up tents, the answer is sim- ple. These were the people who were Ixiund and determined to be in the front of the line when tickets went on sale for the Ludacris concert. These people waited overnight and were joined later in the morning and throughout the next day by other people who hoped to purchase tick- ets when they went on sale at 9 p.m. Approximately 3,500 rickets were sold in two and a half hours, Matt La Riccia, the press contact for UAO, said. The remaining 200 tickets also took about two and a half hours to sell the next day. La Riccia said it took that long to sell them because people assumed the concert was already sold out after seeing the long line in front of Anderson Arena the night before. "The anticipation for this concert has been huge," La Riccia said. "We have had volunteer meetings over the past few weeks and it is all people are talking about." One of the reasons why this con- cert has seen such high levels of anticipation as compared to other concerts in the past is because of Photo Provided who is performing, la Riccia said. LUDACRIS: The University Activities Association Homecoming concert will feature Ludacris on Saturday, Oct. 5 at Anderson Arena. Doots will open at 7 p.m. with Ludacris scheduled to perform around 9 p.m. This is the first show that UAO has sold out in over 21 years, 3,726 were sold in approximately 5 LUDACRIS, PAGE 13 PISANELLO'S Open Weekdays at 4p.m.; Open at Lunch In.
