TO THE EDITOR:
On behalf of my friends and myself, I would like to express our disappointment in the way the ticket sales were conducted for the J. Cole Homecoming concert.
Although they started selling the tickets at noon, by 4 p.m. they had barely reached a quarter of the students with wristbands.
We appreciate the effort that CUAB put into planning this concert, and we commend them on their choice of performer, but having ticket sales starting at noon is an inefficient way to get tickets out.
It did not deter people from getting tickets; it just made more of the student body frustrated with CUAB, which is becoming a trend at UNC.
With more than 1,000 people in line, only 500 people were able to get tickets Tuesday, and the same process that occurred on Wednesday likely went at the same ineffective pace.
The most frustrating part is that CUAB waited until 6 p.m. to tell students in line that they weren’t going past number 500 in the line, when until then they had been telling everyone in line and on the event page that everyone who had a wristband would get a ticket that day.

We’ve got $20 and a dream to see J. Cole, and we hope the ticket distribution process is better planned for future concerts.
