Looks like the Dalai Lama is really popular in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I unfortunately don't have an University ID and a friend of mine who does, but didn't get in line a 5 AM, didn't manage to get tickets. I received the following in an email from Helaine Hunscher, Program Coordinator:
I was just informed by the Michigan Union Ticket Office that all of the free tickets to the 2 PM April 20 Sustainability Lecture by His Holiness the Dalai Lama have been given away in just three hours!
The only options to see his Wege Lecture on Sustainability are:
1) Volunteer as an usher all day Sunday (you would be required to work the Sunday morning Teaching Session hosted by Jewel Heart plus the Sunday afternoon Sustainability Lecture hosted by U-M) We will need 100 volunteers for each of the two days. Please visit: http://sitemaker.umich.edu/dlvolunteering/home
2) Watch a live web-cast of the Lecture. Instructions to join the web-cast will be posted, when arranged, at: http://css.snre.umich.edu/facts/dalailama.html
3) Because the Lecture tickets are free, there may be “no-shows” and we don’t want any empty seats at Crisler. Tickets all stated that seats would be held only until 1:45 PM, at which point, ushers will release any open seat to the general public, regardless of having a ticket or not.
There are some other non-free talks by the Dalai Lama the same day and the day before the free talk. Tickets are probably still available for those, but I'm personally going to pass.
