They couldn’t be in Oz to perform at the Sound Relief concert, but The Who are still committed to giving to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. $25 from new tickets sold for their Grand Prix concert in Melbourne on Sunday will go to the relief fund. The tickets will include the show and entry to the Grand Prix.
“The entire music community has shown incredible support for the Bushfire Appeal,” said concert promoter Andrew McManus said in a statement. “It’s the responsibility of all of us to do everything we can to help heal these terrible tragedies. The Who could not be here to take part in the Sound Relief Concerts but we sincerely hope this new ticket initiative will add some well-needed funds to the Appeal.”
Tickets are available online at ticket.com.au/donate, or by calling Ticketek on 132 849 and quoting the word “Donate.” Tickets will also be available at the Albert park track on the day when the work “Donate” is quoted.
