Wildcat fans can snag 2010 Sing Song tickets during Homecoming this weekend, an event that brings ACU supporters from around the country to Abilene. Tickets will be available for only a short time, from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 16, and noon to 2 p.m. Oct. 17 in the McGlothlin Campus Center.

Visitors will flood Moody Coliseum during Sing Song – titled “Name Fame 2010” -Feb.19-20. Tom Craig, director of Student Productions, said Homecoming weekend is a “perk” of sorts for alumni, family and Wildcat fans who want to secure their seats before ticket sales open to the public Nov. 2. Tickets will be available online at www.acu.edu/singsong and inside the Student Productions office in Room 121 in McKinzie Hall.

“When tickets go on sale, there will be a flurry of excitement, and the choice seats will sell quickly,” Craig said.

Craig advised eager audiences to purchase tickets now to avoid disappointment in the spring. Good seats likely will be available until the first week of February, Craig said, but Saturday-night shows typically sell out by the end of January. Saturday matinee tickets are usually available until show time, but seat selection is limited.

Paige Shackelford, junior accounting major from Dallas, will keep tabs on ticket sales as the Sing Song ticketing manager. Shackelford said she sees the position as a great opportunity.

“I will be putting a lot of time and effort into making ticket sales run as smoothly as possible,” Shackelford said. “I’m an accounting major, so this is going to be a good experience for me to have.”

Shackelford said tickets will be available in the Campus Center three weeks before the show. The Moody box office will open one week before opening night.
