A Feb. 20 Herald article reported that Brown Concert Agency has been in talks with Director of Student Activities Ricky Gresh, Associate Vice President of Campus Life and Dean for Student Life Margaret Klawunn and other campus administrators about the possibility of holding the April 11 concert on the Main Green as well. Cash McCracken '08, BCA's administrative chair, confirmed that this discussion is still ongoing, but added that a decision about the concert location is expected this week.
For the first time, this year's Spring Weekend tickets may be purchased with a debit or credit card, in addition to cash, McCracken said.
General admission is $20 on Friday and $25 on Saturday.
