Low ticket sales kept rapper B.o.B from coming to MSU, according to an email sent to ticket holders Friday.The notice sent out by the Wharton Center said students who paid in advance for the Powerfest event featuring rapper B.o.B and Machine Gun Kelly will receive a refund check within the next three weeks.
Students are encouraged to call Breslin Center ticket office with any inquiries.
The event was rescheduled from its original March 16 date and ultimately canceled because of extremely low ticket sales, Wharton Center Public Relations Manager Bob Hoffman said.
The event was advertised by an independent promoter with minor marketing assistance by the Residence Halls Association, or RHA.
The organization helped promote the event but was not assisting financially, RHA Public Relations Director Greg Rokisky said.
