Each catered to his own kind of crowd with their own kind of music. Neither entertainer drew sell-out crowds, and the Journey concert was a well- awaited concert. Tickets sold fast, with many people buying up to 30 tickets at one time. Many students waited in line up to four hours for the chance to buy their own tickets, I went to Las Cruces to get my tickets fast so I would be assured good seats only to see that many people had slept overnight to be first in line.
