Want a ticket to see the Fling concert?


SPEC, one of the six main student government bodies at Penn, was founded in 1990 to develop, organize, and program campus-wide social and cultural activities for the University community.

We are comprised of ten committees, each with directors and from ten to one hundred members. Membership in SPEC is open to any undergraduate interested in social planning, and involvement proves to be an exciting and educational experience.

SPEC organizes and sponsors events year-round, including Spring Fling, speakers, movies and concerts.

colbertwithflag

 

ANNOUNCEMENT:  Due to requests from Comedy Central, SPEC is obligated to close the lottery early on Friday, April 4 at midnight.  Please enter the lottery before then, if you are interested in a chance to attend. 

The lottery for a chance to see ONE of the Colbert Report screenings during April 14th - 17th at Zellerbach auditorium has CLOSED.

SPEC has been working hard to secure some seats for students to these events, which sold out on the Comedy Central website in under 10 minutes. We have a very limited number of tickets for each night and for this reason we are limiting lottery winners to choosing only one night to attend.

The lottery will close at midnight on Sunday April 6th, and winners will be notified shortly thereafter via email.

Winners of this lottery will have the opportunity to select which night they would like to attend, on a first come first served basis, at the time of ticket pick-up.

Ticket pick-up will be at TBA times and locations on Tuesday and Wednesday April 8th and 9th.

 
Sound Pricing
SPEC Sound is pleased to announce that we now provide fully subsidized (both equipment and labor) rentals for charity events.

For all other events, we aim to be the lowest cost sound vendor for on campus groups. Rentals range from $50 to $400 a day depending on the complexity of the event, plus $13 an hour for labor (as of 2/25/2008).

To request our services please email This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it and one of our directors will get back to you within 48 hours to follow up and confirm your rental.

Please note: Any event booked within a week of the event date will be charged a 25% late fee. Events booked within 72 hours will be booked at SPEC Sound's discretion; however, it is likely that we will not be able to provide services with such short notice.
