Students and members of the public may acquire free tickets beginning Monday for former President George H.W. Bush’s Nov. 16 appearance in Lawrence.

Members of the public interested in acquiring tickets may call the Lied Center at 864-ARTS beginning at 11 a.m. Monday to reserve tickets. Tickets also will be available in person starting at that time at the Lied Center box office.

Each person will be restricted to four tickets.

Students may acquire tickets beginning at that same time at the Student Union Activities box office in the Kansas Union or at the box office in Murphy Hall.

A valid KU ID must be presented to claim the student tickets, which will come from a separate allotment of tickets reserved for KU students.

Any student tickets not claimed by 6 p.m. Nov. 7 will be made available to the general public beginning at 11 a.m. Nov. 10 at the Lied Center box office.

Bush is scheduled to receive the Dole Leadership Prize from KU’s Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at an event at 3 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Lied Center.

During the event, Bush will sit for an interview with Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, after which there will be time for questions from the audience.
