Tickets for the Oct. 4 event go on sale at 9 a.m. Monday. Students can see Hart for $25, and the public can attend for $65. Tickets can be purchased on Ticketmaster and the ISU Athletics ticket office. Students can use their student ID num- ber to grab one of the 4,000 available general admission student tickets. Winston Stalvey, senior in marketing and fi- nance and national events director at Student Union Board, explained how Hart’s act is different. “We have great connections and relationships with Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily a bunch of different Beardshear Hall, the Campanile and the Marston water tower provide a backdrop for Wednesday’s sunset.

Years of forming connections with professionals BEFORE THE STORM has allowed SUB to bring in large acts based on the cost to host and ability to sell tickets. “We expect [sales] to go well,” said George Micalone, director of Student Ac- tivities. “There are only 4,000 student tickets available, which is substantial since you can’t buy a Kevin Hart ticket for less than $80 anyway, so to have any at $25 is unheard of.” Based on the capacity, SUB and the agency communicates on what the gross revenue potential is. Using that number, the two correlate on a student ticket amount. The general admission price has evolved to $65, while the student amount has stayed consistent. “Traditionally, artists have price points Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily that they need to look at and offer,” Mi- The ISU Police Department allows students to take photos calone said. “In this case, because of the inside the back of a police car to send to the student’s parents nature of his act he knows he sells tickets. during Destination Iowa State on Thursday.

Most planning cannot be done until funding is secured. “There’s value in us having secured funding for long term, so we can work [in] advance on getting better deals,” Micalone said. Both Micalone and Stalvey stressed how inclusive SUB is and its influential role on campus. “We love people coming in and vol- unteering,” Stalvey said. “It’s a great time, especially for some of these national event shows to see what goes on in the back- ground of these major concerts.” Last year, SUB put on more than 350 events for more than 55,000 participants and expects many more acts in the future. “I work at KURE and there are several [bands] that chart on the college radio lists that never come here,” said Ayla Hendrick- son, sophomore in architecture. “It would be great if we could get the people who chart there to come here.” For students like David Daft, junior in elementary education, the cost of tickets is a concern when deciding whether to attend. “[The pricing] is pretty reasonable,” Madison Kuhfus/Iowa State Daily Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily Daft said. “I’m kind of a cheap person and A new pledge runs to greet the members of her sorority on A student extinguishes a controlled fire at a Destination Iowa State booth Thursday.
