Hey There Sac State Alumni! Feel free to check this out! Stingers Up!

We have found ourselves in a bit of a difficult situation here on campus this month; our contract with AXS has expired (the company we use to sell tickets), but we have not yet finalized a contract with a new vendor. This means that we cannot currently sell tickets. Which is going to end up working out to your benefit, as our only option is to offer shows for free!

On Wednesday, July 12th we will be celebrating the one-year anniversary of the first images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. In honor of one full year of gorgeous images, we will be hosting FREE short showings of some of the best images from the last year. Each show will be 20 minutes long, and shows will happen every half hour, starting at 11:30 AM and running until 4:00 PM. To try and avoid the hours-long line that many of you stood in last year, we have created a google form where you can request tickets for a particular showing. Please note that there is no way for us to automatically disable a showtime option even if it is fully booked, so we will be doing our best to keep an eye on responses and removing showtimes as they fill up. Every respondent will receive a follow up email to confirm whether or not their request was able to be fulfilled. To request your tickets, head to this link:

https://forms.gle/UtfqXaaZDKiNAmoc7

If all nine shows fill up we will look into hosting additional shows on another day this month. We also may be able to host regular, ticketed, one-hour shows later this month, if our new contract is ready in time. So look for a possible second email from us, later this month!

We hope to see you under the dome next week!
