Sammy states that ASNAU did not use Central Ticketing last year, instead tickets were sold directly from the ASNAU office. Money was misplaced and never found that is why this year ASNAU would like to sell tickets through the Central Ticketing office to ensure that no money will be misplaced, this will up the cost of the tickets by $2, however ASNAU wants to cover this charge for students using Line ?
