No tickets remain for Dalai Lama lecture

At this time no tickets remain for the lecture by Nobel laureate Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, scheduled May 13 at the Kohl Center.

UW–Madison students, staff and faculty began picking up free tickets on Saturday, April 4. By April 6, more than 12,350 tickets had been distributed – a maximum of four per university ID. Remaining tickets were to be made available to the general public Monday, April 13.

University officials are continuing to work on alternatives which would provide additional access to the speech. Those plans will be announced when finalized.

In 1989, the Dalai Lama spoke before a capacity crowd of 8,500 at the UW Field House.
