Associated Students Incorporated launched a Spring Fling Kick-Off during University Hour on Feb. 5 to promote the anticipated event. Tickets for the Mar. 15 cocktail party became available for free to students beginning 8 a.m. on Tuesday and were sold out by 10 a.m. the following day.
The kick off event provided students with free food and drinks to commemorate the beginning of ticket distributions.
Spring Fling will take place on the San Diego Harbor Excursion yacht off San Diego harbor from 8:30 p.m. to 11:55 p.m. The three-storied boat features a live DJ, bars serving refreshments and appetizers; and a casino with blackjack, roulette and Texas Hold'em. Guests can use fake money while gambling with a chance to win a trip for two to Laughlin or a gift card to Chili's restaurant.
Although tickets to the event have sold out, tickets for the party bus are still available. Party bus tickets are $20 a person and are available to both students and guests. The bus will go roundtrip from CSUSM to the San Diego harbor and will return following the event. Party Bus tickets are available in the ASI Business Office, FCB 103.
"The boat has a capacity of 500 so there is absolutely no way to release more. The question that I keep getting is how do I get a ticket? I know a lot of people bought extra tickets, you were allowed to buy up to three, so my advice is ask around. There is also a Facebook event people can join to ask others for tickets," said ASI Programming Board Social Events Specialist, Molly Durham.
