SGA on the right track with Avicii
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the SGA’s discounted-ticket arrangement for the Avicii concert and the response to it.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA arranged discounted Avicii tickets with Pier Six Pavillion; the first 1,000-ticket allotment sold out, leading to 1,000 more tickets being secured.
- The paper reported that high demand led to student resales priced as high as $300 on StubHub and $200 on Facebook.
- The article adds that the SGA reserved buses for ticket holders and suggests that future event advertising happen while classes are in session.
- The reporter writes that the article encourages the SGA to offer more events with discounted tickets and transportation for Hopkins students.
