Despite a delay in ticket sales triggered by last week's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., U2 will still perform on the Notre Dame campus Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Student ticket sales, originally scheduled for last Thursday, will resume Thursday at the Joyce Center.

Joe Sassano, Joyce Center events manager, said that students should start arriving at 3 p.m. to receive a ticket enabling them to draw for a position in line. Those with a ticket can then draw a lottery number. Concert tickets will then go on sale to lottery ticket holders at 6 p.m.

"The word `lottery' is not the right word. No one loses in getting these tickets," Sassano said. "We have not limited the number of tickets that we will allow students to buy."

The two-ticket lottery system, which allows all students who arrive on time to obtain the first ticket needed to receive the ticket holding them a place in line, has gone unchanged since the original plan.

"People shouldn't camp out now to establish themselves as the first in line. There is no reason for students to show up before three or four o'clock [on Thursday]," Sassano said.

Although students can buy tickets for both the general admission standing floor and the assigned seats, Sassano said the stage will accommodate the Joyce Center's 360 degree design.

"You can sit all around the stage and still have a great seat." he said.

Ticket prices for the show will be $46 for general admission floor seats and $86 for assigned seats within the Joyce Center. Tickets sold during the student pre-sale and on the first day of the public sale will sell for cash only.
