The Dave Matthews Band remains one of the hottest tickets in entertainment. Die-hard fans flock to ticket selling sites like TicketLuck.com in attempts to latch on to rare chances to see the rockers performing in person. The shows that frequently sell out include Dave Matthews Band in New York, [url=http://www.ticketluck.com/categories/Dave-Matthews-Band/Dave-Matthews-Band-Charlottesville-VA/index.php]Dave Matthews Band in Charlottesville[/url], [url=http://www.ticketluck.com/categories/Dave-Matthews-Band/Dave-Matthews-Band-Atlanta-GA/index.php]Dave Matthews Band in Atlanta[/url] and [url=http://www.ticketluck.com/categories/Dave-Matthews-Band/Dave-Matthews-Band-North-Charleston-SC/index.php]Dave Matthews Band in North Charleston[/url].
But two upcoming shows at the McCaw Hall in Seattle by the Dave Matthews Band are special because they allow you to do more than just revel in a night of festivity. When you purchase a ticket to the shows, you are automatically privileged to direct some money towards a charity of your choice.
According to the Wall Street Journal, for every $135 you splurge on a ticket to see the Dave Matthews Band live, you earn $150 in credit on the website JustGive.org. This website boasts well over 1.5 million charities and so chances are, if there is a cause you care about, you’ll find it there.
According to agents of the Dave Matthews Band, the two shows together will easily raise over $ 1 million in charity. When asked for his inspiration for triggering such an initiative, Matthews simply said that he had been on the lookout for a way to “inspire people to want to give stuff away”. Looks like he’s found a way that will get his fans excited and involved.
Matthews insists that he does not have particular charities in mind that he would expect his fans to choose. He wisely declares, “The important thing is the act of giving, not necessarily who you give to.”
The best part of the plan is that Matthews is confident this is just the beginning. He promises to involve his fans in new schemes that will allow them to benefit the planet while still enjoying themselves and his music.
Scott Briggs from TicketLuck.com sees the plan as having immense potential. “Look at what stars like Bono have done in terms of creating awareness,” he says. “These celebrities command incredible influence and are the best people to drive all of us towards positive change.
