Students have begun to camp outside of Lisner to wait in line for the box office to open. They are allowed one ticket per GWorld identification.
West has embarked on a series of listening shows across the country to discuss his upcoming ninth studio album “Jesus is King.” During the events – which began as private, invite-only discussions – West has played drafts of his songs and a version of the album’s accompanying documentary, according to Vox.
