Additional Al Gore Tickets Sell in One Day

Tickets for former Vice President Al Gore’s Jan. 22 speech at the Taco Bell Arena sold out by 3 p.m. today. A total of 10,000 seats were available for the address. Of those, 785 went to Boise State University students, and the Frank Church Institute has set aside 2,000 student tickets for when students return to class next week.

On Jan. 3, 700 tickets to the address, originally scheduled for the Student Union Jordan Ballroom, were handed out in less than 10 minutes. The event was subsequently moved to the Taco Bell Arena and the Jordan Ballroom tickets will be honored at the new venue.

Gore will deliver the keynote address for a daylong conference titled “Global Warming: Beyond the Inconvenient Truth,” sponsored by the Frank Church Institute at Boise State. Conference sessions will be held from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Gore’s keynote address, which requires a ticket, will begin at 7 p.m. in the Taco Bell Arena.

For more information about the conference (no ticket inquiries, please), contact institute director Garry Wenske at (208) 426-2941 or GarryWenske@boisestate.edu.
