Tickets to Keenan Revue snapped up in minutes

Notre Dame students already fed up with ticket sales could add another gripe to the list after long lines made the Keenan Revue ticket d is tribu tion last only 23 minutes. Although ticke t w indows did not open until 2 p.m. Friday, the firs t students to receive tickets arrived at gate 10 o f the Joyce Center as early as 10 a.m. “A good portion o f the line was formed by 1 or 1:30 p.m.,” ticket manager and jun ior Steve Miller said. A tota l o f 1,300 tickets were allotted for the three performanc­ es o f the annual shameless come­ dy show, w ith Saturday selling out first, followed by Thursday, then Friday. “ E verybody th a t was there before 2 p.m. received tickets,” said ju n io r Dave Fotopoulos, director of the Keenan Revue. For the people that came after 2 p.m., he said, “ it was basically 50-50.” Miller said this year’s ticket dis­ tr ib u t io n was s im ila r to las t year’s, since all of the 2004 tick­ ets were taken within a half hour. Fotopoulos noticed a difference in this year’s event.
