Radiohead auctioning tickets to weekend concert to benefit Haiti relief efforts
How much do you care about a Third World country suffering from a horrific tragedy? How much would you like to see Radiohead? We’re talking “how much” in terms of dollars.
In a nice move of generosity, Radiohead is not simply cutting a check to Haiti relief efforts, they’re playing a show at the Music Box in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 24, and are auctioning off tickets to the show. All proceeds will benefit Oxfam America’s relief efforts for victims of the Haiti earthquake.
The current minimum bid for a ticket is $275. There is a two-ticket limit per person, and bidding will run until 1 PM on Saturday, January 23. That may sound like a lot of money, but it is for a good cause, and when will you ever again get a chance to see Radiohead in a venue that holds less than 1000 people?
You can get more information and bid here.
On a completely unrelated note, if the boys from the UK are spending some of their 2010 time in the States, is this the year they finally come to the Austin City Limits Festival?
