All ticket holders will be contacted by email. Preferred package holders will be given a full, automated refund. Once a new date is set for the event, current general admission ticket and preferred package holders will be contacted by email.

The Maverick Speakers Series will open Oct. 20 with a Texas Hall event featuring husband-and-wife-political-commentators James Carville and Mary Matalin. Tickets will be available beginning Sept. 22 at www.utatickets.com.
