An inconvenient ticket shortage at east Tennessee State tonight-- where a former vice president turned environmental activist will visit. Al Gore is set to deliver a lecture on Thursday.
It’s a hot ticket for a man now known for fighting global warming.
Chris Carroll said,” The student government did approach the College of Public Health and were willing to try to help shoulder the financial burden to move the speech from a smaller venue to the Mini Dome”.
Dr. Randy Wykoff , Dean of the College of Public Health at ETSU said,” The truth is that there is no venue large enough to hold the entire student body.” He also added,” Were exploring weather there might be other venues where we can simulcast the presentation.”
The seventeen hundred tickets disappeared quickly.
The school hopes to figure out how to include more folks next week.
