It’s too late. Foreigner tickets officially sold out late last week.

Ceci Brinker, director of Student Life, told the Union Ticket Office to stop selling tickets on Friday.

“We are very pleased with how the tickets sold,” she said.

There were approximately 3,300 tickets available and now there are less than 50.

Brinker cut off the ticket sales to ensure that any last minute orders from parents would be honored. She doesn’t expect those tickets to last through Wednesday.

University Board began selling the tickets exclusively to parents starting in mid-July and through September.

When the box office opened in the first part of September, Brinker said more than half of the tickets were already sold through the order forms UB mailed to parents over the summer.

Any mailed order forms received after the tickets are completely sold will be refunded, Brinker said.

“We’ve had concerts close to selling out before,” said Mallory Taylor, UB concert coordinator, but she later said the Foreigner Concert has been the best selling show in the past couple of years.

“Ideally we would like every show to be a sellout, but realistically that’s not the standard,” Brinker said.

The last UB event that sold out was when Bill Cosby visited campus in 1999. However, Brinker commented that Jeff Foxworthy’s two performances in October 2002 came close to selling out.

“It’s fun to see a show that you know is sold out and just see people enjoying themselves and knowing that you were a part of that and could provide the entertainment,” Taylor said.

For those who didn’t get their Foreigner tickets in time, other entertainment options are available.

Steve Banacheck, a mentalist, will perform at 8 p.m., Friday, in the Grand Ballroom in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

“He’s very interactive with the audience,” Brinker said about why UB invited him to campus.

Banacheck has made notable appearances on “CNN Live” and “the Today Show” as well as had articles printed in publications ranging from Psychology Today to The National Enquirer.

Also at 8 p.m. on Friday and 1p.m., 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday showings of “Over the Hedge” will take place in the Buzzard Auditorium.
