DRAKE ANNOUNCES JASON MRAZ TICKET REFUNDS

Drake University officials have been unable to reschedule the Jason Mraz concert before the end of the spring semester and as a result refunds can be issued for all ticket holders. The Drake Relays concert, originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 13, was canceled because Mraz was ill.

Internet ticket purchases will automatically be refunded to the purchaser's credit card for the ticket price. For questions on Internet ticket purchases, call 1-800-594-8499.

Those who purchased tickets at Drake University should return to the place of purchase at the Student Life office in Olmsted Center, 29th Street and University Avenue, with the ticket(s) and a photo ID. No refunds will be made without a ticket. Refunds will be issued by check in approximately four to five business days. The checks will be mailed to ticket purchasers. The deadline for submitting ticket refund requests is Friday, May 13, 2005. For additional information, call (515) 271-2000.
