Ticket Site Offers Really Good Seats for Charity

Brad PaisleyHow did I not know about this? There is this place called ticketsforcharity.com where you can get concert tickets AND give to charity. It's beyond brilliant. I know I bitch plenty about the price of good seats, but now that I know I could do a little good with that extra cash, it somehow makes it all better. Like if I wanted to see Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Jimmy Wayne next week in Phoenix, I'd pay around $82 for a really good seat but then $25 would go to charity. (In that case, it would go to Team 25: The Shjon Podein Children's Foundation, but it looks like the charity depends on the artist). Or I could get tickets to see Brooks & Dunn in Alpine, Calif., and $20 of my $80 seat would go to their charity. From now on, when I have to buy tickets, I'm shopping here first.

    This is a great idea! Thanks for informing us on this I will buy here from now on. I actually also spent 10 hours in line at CMA fest to give Andrea Swift concert tickets to Taylor’s WV concert that I couldn’t attend, so that she could give them to someone that deserves them. Today, people are just trying to make a money for nothing. I would rather give mine to charter!

    What is up with the purple streaks on Brad’s left arm in his new video “Welcome to the Future?” It is only there in snippets, not throughout the entire video.
