Online Auctions Aim to Benefit New Orleans Musicians
A Reuters newswire article by Ray Waddell, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
In a rare alliance, a wide range of musical artists and competing concert promoters are combining efforts in an online ticket auction to benefit Music Rising, the musical instrument replacement fund founded by U2's the Edge, producer Bob Ezrin and Gibson Guitar chairman Henry Juszkiewicz.More here.
Some 60 artists will work with Ticketmaster, Live Nation, House of Blues, AEG Live and Nederlander Concerts on the fund-raising program, which targets Gulf Coast musicians who lost equipment in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The auction, which began Saturday (April 1) and runs through the month, taps into fans' growing interest in bidding online for concert tickets. In this case, fans can bid for tickets to more than 80 concerts, including shows by Queensryche, Nine Inch Nails, Ben Harper, Def Leppard/Journey, the New Cars/Blondie, Melissa Etheridge, Brad Paisley and the Warped tour.
