When Presley performed here in 1974, the coliseum was sold out. The 8,536 tickets were sold quickly and were priced at $5, $7.50 and $10, compared lo this year's prices of $10, $12.50 and $15. In 1974, almost 500 more chairs were set up to meet the demand, which led to a then record crowd of 8,604 for the facility.

The coliseum box office will be open daily From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., including Saturday. On Sunday the remaining tickets will be available at the box office, from 9 a.m. until the 8:30 p.m. showtime, or as long as they last.
