    Rock Legends to Play Obama Fundraiser

    The Pennsylvania Campaign for Change has just announced a Monday, October 13 concert fundraiser to benefit Obama for America featuring many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and other American music icons. Additionally, the show will be a very large voter outreach opportunity for the Pennsylvania Obama campaign, which has already built the largest volunteer-based campaign in Pennsylvania’s history. The campaign has more than 70 field offices and thousands of volunteers preparing for an unprecedented Get Out the Vote operation. There are now more than 1 million more Democrats in the state than Republicans, an increase of 500,000 since 2004.

    Tickets will be available at 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 19, and are $50 for the general public and $30 for University Park students with a Pennsylvania State University ID. More ticket information is available online at:

    Was this a greedy move?
    I got 2 tickets for the show, got right back on and got two more tickets. Theyre for me and my best friends who always go together. Im not scalping them, but I do feel bad more people cant go. But hey what can you do. They should have planned a huge event. It all rolls into one Nothing comes for free

    Face the facts people
    After Al Gore got shafted by our supposed supreme court, that got me into politics. And what Bush has done is undoubtedly sinister to say the least. Republicans ran the congress for 6 of bushs 8 years. And Bush has been an irrelivant pres. now for almost 3 of his last 4 years. Screw Republican bullshit, and start using common sence. Obama isnt gonna fix the world, but you gotta start somewhere. See ya at the big show.

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
