Tickets for the April 18 Ben Folds and a Piano concert are now being sold to UD students, faculty and staff in the KU Box Office.

The Charity Concert Committee hosts an annual spring concert with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. This year the artist selected is Ben Folds and a Piano, and CCC is hoping to have a comparable turnout to last year's concert featuring Guster.

"We made around $13,000 last year, and it was heavily attended by a lot of people," said Jessie Hanley, co-president of CCC. "We had around 3,000 people come, which was great."

Up until March 20, tickets will only be sold to students, faculty and staff for $15. After that, the tickets will be $17 for students, faculty and staff and will be available to the public on Ticketmaster for $27. a student ID is necessary to get a student price for the tickets.

The CCC plans to have the concert run similarly to last year, with the performance Sunday, April 18 at 8 p.m. The genre of music is the same as well, which is projected to create a relaxing, exciting atmosphere.

"It's just a fun concert. Ben Folds and a Piano is good at playing to audiences and it supports a charity," Hanley said. "All in all it's a great chance to do something different with all friends, and it's out of the ordinary."

Some of the other events sponsored by CCC include Battle of the Bands on Friday, March 26. These bands will be battling to open for Ben Folds and a Piano. This event will take place in the KU Pub and is open to all students to come watch and vote for the winner.
