Last year\u2019s inaugural Rock the Arena sold out in less than three weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cRock the Arena brings a festival atmosphere indoors,\u201d said Chris Thompson, UT treasurer. \u201cIn fact, it could be an even more enjoyable experience in some instances since everything is on one stage in one day. Fans have the opportunity to see multiple bands from the pit or a reserved seat without having to worry about the weather, missing a performance on another stage, or losing their spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, there was something like 1,800 fans through the doors in the first 15 minutes, and more than two-thirds of ticket holders had scanned in by the end of the first act,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u201cWe heard from community members who had never been to Savage Arena before and alumni who hadn\u2019t been back in years and everyone talked about what a great time it was.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThat was one of the goals of SAVAGE LIVE, to bring more people to campus, as well as to provide additional entertainment options for our students, donors, season ticket holders, employees, alumni and community members,\u201d said Dave Nottke, deputy director of athletics. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doors will open at 11 a.m. March 25.<\/p>\n
Tickets range from $39 to $125 and are available online at utsavagelive.com<\/a>, by phone at 419.530.GOLD, or in person with no fees at the UT Ticket Office at Savage Arena. \u00a0Limited student tickets are available with current UT ID for $29 at the box office. <\/p>\n
