STOMP! Ticket explaination...
For those of you who are still trying to get tickets for Stomp! there is still hope. As per our contract with the Stomp touring company, we are required to hold a number of seats for the company's use. There is a good chance that they will not use all of these tickets and they have given us permission to sell these tickets to the general public 48 hours prior to each performance.
What this means for you... on Saturday January 9 at 10 am- a limited number of seats will be available for sale for the January 11 show. Again on Sunday January 10th at 10 am - another set of tickets will be available for the January 12th show. Same with Monday January 11 - tickets for the January 13th show will be available...
These tickets will ONLY be available through our website at www.coveycenter.org
If you don't feel like you want to risk it - check Craigslist or KSL, some of our ticket office employees have spotted tickets for sale there, this is also not a guarantee, but... whatever... These options are at your own risk. We are not responsible for any fraudulent sales on outside websites or second-hand buyers.
If you have further questions, please contact our ticket office at 801-852-7007. Please note that we will have limited hours during the holidays.

The Nicest Kids in ... the Covey Center!
"Who needs to read and write, when you can dance and sing?" Not only can the men of BYU's Vocal Point dance and sing, but they can dance and sing AT THE SAME TIME! Oh my heck! (oh, and I understand that they can read and write too... but I am not sure if they can read, write, dance, and sing all at the same time...)
Vocal Point will have their first public solo concert (a solo concert with 9 singers...) for the 2009-2010 season this weekend Friday November 20th and Saturday November 21st here at the Covey Center. (So if you have tickets for the BYU vs. Air Force game on Saturday - you can go to the performance the night before. We are just looking out for our BYU fans!)
Many of their hits include: Michael Buble's "Home," Michael Jackson's "Thriller," and "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder.
When you come see Vocal Point this weekend - you will see why they are the "Nicest Kids in Town."
P.S. If you can name the musical that the lyric is from (without the help of the internet...) you are truly a Vocal Point Fan! Pat yourself on the back!

Take that Swine Flu!
I read a posting on the internet where a guy asked his girlfriend, after both of them were recovering from swine flu, if she wanted to "get together and eat bacon for revenge!" Of course it made me laugh - but then I thought about the ways that the Covey Center is working to combat this year's germ season and get revenge on those nasty germs.
1. If employees exhibit signs of the flu, they are sent home immediately. They will not be able to return until they are symptom free for 24 hours.
2. Every day, while the security people are being securitish (securiticious?), they will be going around around and disinfecting everything that is touched by the public and performers.
3. We keep hand sanitizing solution available at the box office for employees and patrons.
4. During this busy holiday season, it is easy to get stressed. We intend to have fun in order to ward off the damaging effects of stress. We think it is a good idea to come to the Covey Center to have fun with us too!
We are doing all that we can to ward off Cold and Flu germs - but we need your help in the fight! If you feel that you are sick with the flu, please stay home. You can exchange your seats for another night - just call the box office before 5 p.m. the night of your show and they will exchange your tickets (if possible) to another night.
Please cough or sneeze into your elbow. Not only will this prevent you from spreading germs when you high-five your seat neighbor, but you can clap at the same time as sneezing! Try it sometime, you'll look funny doing it but you will amuse your friends ;)
Get plenty of rest. This will this help your immune system and it will help keep you from falling asleep during a performance - because nothing is more awkward that drooling on your date's shoulder (or even the stranger next to you)!
Drink plenty of liquids. I'm not sure what this does, but I heard somewhere that it flushes out your system - whatever that means. And just to help you out with your liquid consumption, the box office sells bottled water.
Can you think of anything else to fight germ war? Do it! Tell us your great ideas!
If you try not to get us sick - we will try not to get you sick either. And remember: "Germs are Not for Sharing!" Deal? Deal.
