Carrie Underwood Joins Tickets-for-Charity® to Give Fans Great Tickets for Great Causes on Tour
Exclusive Tickets for 2013 Tour Dates Now Available to Benefit ACM Lifting Lives® & C.A.T.S. Foundation at www.TicketsforCharity.com/ACMLiftingLives
Carrie Underwood is teaming up with Tickets-for-Charity.com® to offer fans some of the best seats in the house on her Blown Away Tour while also benefiting the ACM Lifting Lives® and the C.A.T.S. Foundation at www.TicketsforCharity.com/ACMLiftingLives.
Carrie joins artists like Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley and Toby Keith in this exciting program that gives fans access to terrific seats in sold-out sections for concerts nationwide. Fans pay the same or better price they will find elsewhere – the difference is that their purchase through Tickets-for-Charity.com supports causes important to artists and fans, rather than ticket resellers.
The C.A.T.S. Foundation (Checotah Animal, Town, and School Foundation) is dedicated to helping a variety of causes making a positive impact in Carrie’s hometown area of Checotah, Oklahoma. “My hometown means everything to me,” said Carrie. "I’m so thankful for my fans and their support through Tickets-for-Charity.”
“Carrie’s personal commitment to charity is truly inspiring,” said ACM Lifting Lives Chairman, Bruce Bowman. “We’re honored to have her tour join the ACM Lifting Lives® Tickets-for-Charity® program this year to help us reach more fans and improve more lives through the power of music.”
Fans can now get exclusive tickets, including seats in the first 10 rows for Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour and “Eat & Greet” VIP Packages for Zac Brown Band, while helping great causes at www.TicketsforCharity.com/ACMLiftingLives.
