Program Board will open up ticket sales to the Maroon 5 concert – which will be held in the Smith Center on Nov. 13 – to all D.C. area college students after the show failed to sell out within the GW community.
PB announced that Maroon 5 would be performing in the Smith Center in September. D.C. area students must purchase their tickets in person with the presentation of a valid student identification card at the Marvin Center Ticketmaster, according to PB’s release. Students can purchase a maximum of six tickets per person, at $30 each.
“Ticket sales will open to other schools on Tuesday, October 20th, and are expected to go quickly. GW students are encouraged to purchase tickets today,” said Wesley Callahan, executive vice chair of PB, in a press release.
Program Board chair Tiffany Meehan originally said in September that Program Board “will not be opening sales to the public. Just students, faculty, staff and alumni.” Meehan did not immediately return a request for comment about the number of remaining tickets and TicketMaster officials said they could not release that information without Program Board’s consent.
Maroon 5 will visit 11 other universities on their national “Back to School” tour, including Cornell University, Virginia Tech and the University of Delaware, according to the band’s Web site.
The group is best known for their songs “This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” and “Sunday Morning,” and have sold more than 10 million albums in the United States.
