The U.S. Army Band's 83rd Anniversary Concert is slated for April 8, 2005, at The Kennedy Center Opera House. Tickets went on sale this morning at 0800 and were sold out by 1300. That's 2,300 tickets sold in only five hours! Demand for the tickets is still raging as patrons scramble to get on the waiting list. The U.S. Army Military District of Washington was handeling all the ticketing for this event and their phone lines were backed up all day.
Amazing!
The challenge now will be how to handle the hundreds of patrons who wanted desperately to get tickets but may not get in to see the event.
