Tinashe has 2.5 million followers while A Boogie wit da Hoodie has four million followers. So the question gets raised why is the spring concert being held in the Mabel Brown Room?
If it’s being held in the Mabel Brown room, the capacity for that room is 250 but there’s 700 tickets being sold. Many questions are being raised since the word got out Keene State College 2019 Spring concert was sold out.
The tickets went on sale at noon and were up for grabs for two hours. This was the fastest a Spring concert had been sold out in recent years.
People are complaining that there wasn’t a heads up for these tickets, which is true to an extent. Student Activities Council (SAC) said they were announcing the person but never said the tickets would go on sale right then. Students who were in class or work couldn’t buy them and some seniors won’t be able to attend their last spring concert while at KSC. Imagine being those seniors, your last spring concert with a huge upcoming artist and not being able to go.
Students are under the impression that SAC didn’t realize how big of an artist they were inviting to our school and the demand behind it. A boogie recently just dropped an album so his ratings are through the roof. To go to one of his concerts elsewhere tickets go for $90 to $180. So having him for only $15 is a steal. So, of course this concert was going to be in such high demand.
Many students had started commenting on the SAC Instagram leaving harsh comments. The comments mainly all are complaints and giving their suggestions on how to make this all better.
A lot of students have said they’re scared A Boogie is going to back out when he finds out how small of a crowd he’s performing for. But actually A Boogie signed off an agreement of how many students would be allowed to attend, and therefore already knows all the details of the concert.
But now imagine being in SAC and seeing everyone’s negatives comments on the social media pages. SAC had posted on their Instagram page, “At this time, ALL spring concert 2019 tickets are SOLD OUT. KSC students have purchased all 700 tickets that were available and no additional tickets will be sold at any point in time.”
After the uproar was unleashed on social media, SAC came back with their response. They answered the most frequently asked question, why is the concert not in the gym?
They said, “SAC cannot afford to put any events in the gym this year. In order to do, the activities fee that is a part of the Tuition have to be raised.”
SAC even turned off comments so now nobody can comment on their posts.
The people in SAC should be frustrated because now all of a sudden people want to put their two sense in this when they have meetings for the public every Thursday. The people that are complaining now, why couldn’t they have gone to these weekly meetings? Nobody but the people in SAC knows how much work it was to get him to come here. Students are forgetting that this concert isn’t the only thing on SAC’s mind. They have a whole week of events they planned giving a chance for students to attend something else if they weren’t one of the lucky 700.
