Ozzfest Announces How Fans Can Obtain Their Free Tickets To This Summer’s Ground-Breaking Extravaganza

Source: ticketblogger.blogspot.com

You’ve heard about how OZZFEST is boldly redefining the concert industry this year by making all the tickets to the summer’s premiere touring concert festival entirely free for fans.

Well, Ozzfest fans have a number of ways to score a pair of tickets to "FreeFest"–which will rock mightily with festival’s namesake OZZY OSBOURNE and Lamb of God, Hatebreed, Lordi, Behemoth, Mondo Generator, Nile, Ankla, Circus Diablo, The Showdown, 3 Inches of Blood, Daath, Chthonic and In This Moment.

Ticket codes will be distributed through sponsor websites beginning May 12. Details on these programs are available on ozzfest.com, livenation.com, monsterenergy.com, jagermusic.com and fye.com. In the meantime, various sponsors will have offline initiatives, details of which will also be available via their respective websites. These codes can be redeemed for tickets beginning June 12–exactly one month before the first OZZFEST 2007 show in Seattle. Fans will return to the site where they registered or www.livenation.com/ozzfest, enter their code and download two tickets to the show of their choice. Note: To ensure that everyone gets the chance for free tickets, there is a limit of two tickets per customer.

The 24-city earth-pounding 12th annual OZZFEST will launch July 12 in Seattle, WA at the White River Amphitheatre. OZZFEST will also hit George, WA, Sacramento, CA, Mountain View, CA, Devore, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Albuquerque, NM, Denver, CO, Kansas City, MO, Dallas, TX, San Antonio, TX, St. Louis, MO, Columbus, OH, Tinley Park, IL, East Troy, WI, Indianapolis, IN, Holmdel, NJ, Hartford, CT, Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI, Charlotte, NC and West Palm Beach, FL.

Industry Expert Gives Top Tips For Buying Tickets

Source: ticketblogger.blogspot.com

(PRWeb) April 7, 2007 — Demand for concert tickets is escalating as some of the world’s biggest acts are announcing tours and as the summer festival season fast approaches. Recently, tickets for tours by The Rolling Stones, The Police and Take That, as well as festivals Hyde Park Calling, Reading Festival, and V Festival, have sold out in record breaking time.

As a result, music fans are continuing to turn to the resale market to get their tickets. This means fans are facing a larger risk than ever before of being ripped off or defrauded by unscrupulous touts. Many will be left out of pocket without their tickets or with counterfeits.

This is a huge current consumer issue. Ticket industry expert Eric Baker, CEO of viagogo.com, Europe’s leading online ticket exchange, advises consumers what to watch out for and what to avoid when looking for those must-have tickets. To avoid getting ripped off, Eric says:

"Above all, only use a secure exchange which guarantees that if you’re a buyer you get your tickets and if you’re a seller you get paid. Additionally, here are five top tips:

1. Don’t agree to meet strangers to hand over money for tickets. They could take your money and run. Besides, it could be dangerous to meet someone you don’t know.
2. Don’t accept the promise of "guarantees" without doing your homework. Many websites say 100% guaranteed, but the guarantee is only as good as the guarantor.
3. Make sure that any online exchange you use is reputable. Anyone can build a website or buy links on Google. Ask if they are in business with any major organisations or teams. Search to see if they’ve been written about by major publications.
4. Never buy from a source that doesn’t give clear instructions, terms and conditions. Good resellers are happy to explain what your rights are and what their responsibilities are.
5. Don’t buy tickets outside the arena. This is where a great deal of fraud occurs. The "Picassos" of fraudulent tickets are now able to create forgeries that look as good as the originals, by the time you get to the door and are denied entry the street seller will be long gone."

Eric Baker founded viagogo, Europe’s leading secure ticket exchange, which launched in August 2006. Previously, he founded the leading US ticket exchange StubHub, which was acquired by eBay for $307m in January.

Eric brings a proven ticket exchange service to Europe for the first time, offering Europeans the same benefits that he delivered in the United States. viagogo.com has already established itself as the best online destination for people to exchange tickets for all kinds of live events, from sports and West End shows to European tours of the world’s biggest rock and pop acts. viagogo’s partners include Chelsea FC, Manchester United FC, FC Bayern Munich as well as a range of other sports, entertainment and charity organisations.

Hawaii loves Gwen Stefani.

Source: ticketblogger.blogspot.com

A second concert has been added to the Hawaii stopover of her "The Sweet Escape" tour, at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at the Blaisdell Arena.

Tickets for the Aug. 24 concert were sold out Saturday in less than an hour, according to concert promoter Tom Moffatt. And when tickets went on sale for the second show Sunday morning, all of the floor seats were immediately bought up, leaving loge and upper level seats still available.

Stefani, former frontwoman of No Doubt, recently appeared on "American Idol". Her current CD, "The Sweet Life," is a followup to her solo-career-launching "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." disc of 2004.

You don’t have to be in Hawaii to catch Stefani. Check out the rest of her tour dates.
