The Dead auctions front-row tickets for charity
Band members announced Tuesday that people who want to sit in the first few rows at their spring tour concerts can bypass scalpers by bidding for tickets the group held back and is now putting up for auction online.
Guitarist Bob Weir says people who bid through charityfolks.com must collect their tickets the day of the show, decreasing the possibility of scalping.
Proceeds will benefit a number of charities the group has supported for years, including its Rex Foundation, which was established by the Grateful Dead in 1983.

James Taylor, the Elton John and Billy Joel tour, Dane Cook, Brad Paisley, the Boston Red Sox, and the one show guaranteed to not make any money – Creed. Still, it’s a noble thing these artists are doing, and it’s admirable they are giving cash advances to causes with Tickets for Charity. Read more on this site: http://personalmoneystore.com/mo...>
