TimmyB Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have always wondered if any major artist would ever tackle this idea? Hats off to Ozzy Ozzbourne for doing it first. It is historic.TimFrom www.billboard.comOzzfest Offering Free Tickets For 2007 Tour February 06, 2007, 2:55 PM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y.Tickets to the 2007 edition of Ozzfest will be free, organizers said today (Feb. 6). The 25-date tour will begin July 7 in Los Angeles; details have yet to be announced regarding distribution of tickets. The event, which will be headlined by Ozzy Osbourne, will be underwritten by a host of sponsorship deals."For the last few years, ticket prices have steadily climbed as artists demand more and more money for summer tours," says tour creator Sharon Osbourne. "We certainly want everybody to make money; however, we also want the kids to be able to afford to come out and have an incredible experience. If we continued with the traditional touring festival model, we would have no choice but to raise ticket prices again this year." Ozzfest will visit such cities as San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Albuquerque, N.M., Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Kansas City, Mo., St Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Pa., New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Hartford, Conn., Charlotte, N.C., Atlanta, West Palm Beach, Fla., and Nashville. Besides Osbourne, the rest of the lineup is still coming together.The artist will be performing material intended for his first studio album since 2001, due later this year. Osbourne only played a handful of Ozzfest shows last year, giving way to mainstage acts such as System Of A Down, Disturbed and Hatebreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
