The line for Jack White tickets begins at Wendy Williamson Auditorium before stretching past Beatrice McDonald Hall to the Auto/Diesel Technology Building on Monday, April 20, 2015, at UAA.

The rumors, it turned out, were true: Jack White was coming to Anchorage.

On a rainy, snowy April Monday in Anchorage, more than 1,000 people lined up outside the Wendy Williamson Auditorium on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus, hoping to snag tickets to see White. The grammy winner, best known for his work with The White Stripes, announced on his website early Monday he would be holding a same-day acoustic concert at the venue.

Tickets went on sale at noon, with a limit of one per person and a price tag of just $3 -- cash only. The show sold out, with White expected to take the stage at 8:30 p.m.
