However, only 428 students were in attendance at the concert on Sunday, April 18 in the DeCarlo Varsity Gymnasium. Erin Flaherty, SUPB chair of major events, said, “Typically, a concert attendance is about 1,000.” Capacity for concert attendance was 1,800 people. According to Flaherty, the concert date was moved from the original date, Friday, April 16, due to a scheduling conflict with Kingston, who filmed a guest spot on Disney Channel’s “The Suite Life on Deck.” “I believe that was definitely the major variable in the shift we saw in ticket sales,” said Flaherty. Sophomore concert attendant Em- ily Herfel agreed that the concert time may have been a factor in the low attendance.
