Stars and Stripes Concert

Saturday, September 4, 5 p.m.

This is the best deal in all of Texas, and it's only available to Baylor students! General Admission tickets to the concert are $30 for the local community. Baylor is paying for part of your ticket and throwing in a free Raising Canes Chicken dinner to go with it. All for $16! Not only that, but your Baylor student concert ticket will provide you with field access not available to the public. So let's break this down. Best seats in the house: check! Almost half price: check! Free Raising Canes: check!

To secure your reduced price concert ticket, you'll need to buy it through the Baylor ticket office. If the price is more than $16, you are in the wrong section or not logged into your student ticket account. If you are having trouble, email BDSCTickets@Baylor.edu
