Presale tickets will be $22 and $27 the day of show. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.com, at 4thandbevents.com and at the 4th & B box office. Many sponsors are donating resources, time and products to help make this event a huge success, and ultimately, help save lives.

Donations will be directly routed to the Clinton/Bush Haiti Fund (www.clintonbushhaitifund.org).
We will also be raffling off donated items throughout the event.

Music Zirconia Tribute Agency's Brent Meyer said "Our motivation for doing this was threefold. Firstly, we're in the music business so it seemed only natural to give back freely with the one resource we have in abundance. Secondly, in the tribute band world we spend so much time and energy paying homage to the particular artists we emulate that it often spills over into admiration and emulation of their philanthropic efforts as well; particularly those iconic events that helped define the 1980s (Band Aid, USA For Africa, Live Aid, etc.). In addition to the great music, it's part of why we hold those artists in high enough regard to follow this unusual career path in the first place. Lastly, in more practical terms, we knew that if we could give fans an incredible value for their money they'd be more likely to dig deep and give generously, in return."
