When the City of Eureka announced a few weeks ago that one of Humboldt’s favorite homegrown stars — musician, writer and actor Sara Bareilles — would be playing a free concert in Halvorsen Park on Oct. 16, it was no surprise that all the tickets were quickly snatched up. Like, really, really quickly! Less than three hours after the concert was announced, the roughly 11,000 free tickets made available online had all been claimed. 

But there’s no way everyone who claimed a ticket (or six, which was the highest number someone could reserve) will actually be able to attend, right? If you are one of the folks who enthusiastically snatched tickets before remembering that you’ll actually be out of town, or you reserved more than you actually need, the City of Eureka requests that you return those tickets you won’t use, so that the many people on the waitlist will have a chance to see the show. 

If you reserved a ticket, you likely got the following email from the City:

Thank you for reserving tickets to the  upcoming Sara Bareilles community concert at Halvorsen Park. We are looking forward to seeing you on October 16th!

Because community reaction to this event has been enthusiastic and all available tickets were reserved quickly, we do have a large waitlist of community members who are still hoping to attend. If your plans have changed or you no longer need all the tickets you originally reserved, please consider releasing your extras so that concert organizers can make those spots available to community members who are currently on the waitlist.

Ticket holders can adjust their original reservation using this form: https://forms.gle/MEtT4LGPwJB54Jum9.

Eligible waitlist participants will be notified of additional capacity as space allows.

Thank you for your kind consideration. We look forward to seeing you soon!

So, maybe you have already followed the link to the form and changed your reservation. But if you didn’t receive the email, or you read the email and then quickly forgot about it, then please fill out the form now and free up the tickets that you won’t use so that a sad Sara B. fan can become a happy one! Thanks!
