DRAKE RELAYS CONCERT TICKETS TO GO ON SALE MONDAY

On Monday, March 14, tickets for the 2005 Drake Relays Concert featuring Jason Mraz will go on sale to the general public. The concert will start at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13, in the Drake Knapp Center, 2601 Forest Ave. Tickets cost $22 for the general public and $16 for Drake students.

Mraz is a young musician originally from Virginia and currently living in San Diego. His mellow, coffee shop style of guitar and vocals led to a record deal with Elektra Records in 2002. His first album, "Waiting for My Rocket to Come," included the hit "The Remedy," which held top positions on the Radio & Records Adult Contemporary airplay chart and the Top 40 charts throughout the summer of 2003. He has since released a second album, "Tonight, Not Again: Jason Mraz Live at the Eagles Ballroom."

To purchase tickets, individuals must go to the Drake Student Life Center, Olmsted Center, 29th Street and University Avenue, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or visit www.drakesab.tickets.musictoday.com. To purchase tickets by phone or for more information, call (800) 594-8499.
