Cheap Tickets
OK, you’re a student on the UNO campus in
1968. Part of the “new generation.”
What do you do for entertainment? Try a
concert. We’ve listed some of the prices for you from 25 years ago.
Playing at the Omaha Civic Auditorium Arena
were Simon and Garfunkel. Tickets ranged from $3.50 to $5.50. One month later
you could see The Four Tops for the special UNO price of $2.25.
You say comedy is your bit? Then head to the
Civic for a show with Bill Cosby, also asking for exorbitant prices up to $5.50.
Five years later, prices were the same for a tripleheader with Uriah Heep and
special guests Earth, Wind & Fire and Tucky Buzzard.
