Wow, this is one of the coolest things I've seen done by a band...


DAVE AND TIM TO PERFORM TWO SPECIAL CHARITY CONCERTS IN SEATTLE - TICKET PURCHASERS TO DESIGNATE WHERE FUNDS ARE DONATED

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds will perform two unprecedented special benefit concerts on December 6th and 7th at Seattle's McCaw Hall. One hundred percent of the proceeds from these two shows will benefit charities selected by each ticket purchaser.

HERE'S HOW THIS WORKS:
• For each ticket you purchase for $135 for either show, you will receive a unique code worth $150 that you may use to direct a donation to any charity of your choosing on JustGive.org (a nonprofit organization that connects people to over 1.8 million charities).
• Have fun giving with your fellow concertgoers. Consider making a collective impact by encouraging your neighbors and friends to all choose a mutual charity of interest, such as a local school, park or favorite community organization.
• Your directed donation is funded by Dave Matthews and a generous supporter.
• 100% of the proceeds will be donated to charities selected by the ticket purchasers.
• Bottom line... See a great show while helping make a better world!

Where players go to play
They did something similar for the Peidmont park concert 3 years ago. It was a massive show where 100% of the ticket sales went to the park for preservation. You actually bought the tickets from the park...they are a pretty cool band IMO like this.

No matter what you think of his music, Dave Matthews is a great guy. Back in the late 90s he came through Yellowstone while I was working there. After seeing the sites he decided to put on an impromptu concert in our employee pub, free of charge of course.
