GIRL TALK tickets now on sale! /Regarding the venueFriday, November 13th, '09

Tickets are now available on sale from 11:00am to 3:00pm in the Reynold's Club. Come grab your tickets before we sell out!
Presale: $10 students, $15 staff | Day of Show: $15 students, $20 staff.

Regarding the venue:
MAB has received some questions about our choosing Mandel for a venue. We have considered other possibilities, such as Hutch. However, fire code only allows 320 people in Hutch, and most of the other places on campus have similar or even less capacity. There will be room for about 250 people at the front of Mandel Hall-- we don't remove seats, but a portion of the stage can be sunk into the ground. The first 250 people will be allowed down into this area.

If we used Hutch or a similar location, 320 people would be able to dance around freely and see the show, while 680 others would have to miss it entirely. If we use Mandel, 250 people will be able to dance around freely and see the show, while 750 people will be able to stand in front of their chairs and dance, albeit less freely. This way, however, more students will have the opportunity to enjoy the performance.

While we know Mandel is not the ideal location, it is the best solution on campus.

We appreciate the student body's bringing their concerns to us directly, and try to respond to your wishes as best we can. Please feel free to contact us at the MAB email, uchicagomab@gmail.com, if you have any further questions.
