Hey folks,
I bought my tickets and am VERY excited about all of the fun, but, you list the price on this page as $25, and the price on the charge tickets page as $35. Which one is correct? I already purchased tickets, since I know I want to be able to attend, but if I paid 10 more per ticket than intended, that isn’t so happy. Thanks, Sarah Reed

I have the same question. I’m pretty sure I paid 35 dollars.

Just wondering how old all y’all are who are planning on coming to the NYE party. I’m a senior at UT and I have about 20 of my frat brothers coming with. We’re all 21. See y’all there!!!
Posted by Jeff Craig on December 22, 2009
I really hope the above post is a joke. I thought the frat boy contingent all went to 6th for new years? That’s why we were specifically avoiding it.
