OZZFEST 2007 - Free Tickets

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne

"This will change everybody's impression of the way touring in the summer in America should be."--Sharon Osbourne

Tickets for Ozzy Osbourne's touring US festival Ozzfest will be free this year. The touring rock music festival starts July 7 in Los Angeles--is pulling the plug on ticket prices and giving the power back to the fans calling this summer's OZZFEST "FreeFest." The other OZZFEST cities as of now are San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Kansas City, St Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Hartford, Charlotte, Atlanta, West Palm Beach, Nashville. Note: a final confirmed list of cities and dates is forthcoming.

"For the last few years," says SHARON, "ticket prices have steadily climbed as artists demand more and more money for summer tours. 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."

"We're reaching the same point we did years ago when kids no longer wanted to pay for overpriced CDs," compares Sharon. "As a result, they found alternative ways of getting music. That's what's happening with summer touring in this country, it's out-pricing itself. We started this and we want to keep it and we want to make it bigger and bigger each year by getting bigger sponsors to be involved with the festival and underwriting the festival. That's what it's about."

For the past 11 years, music fans have made OZZFEST the most successful and enduring rock music festival in the United States,. said Jason Garner, Live Nation President of North American Concerts. .What better way to say .Thank You. to the music fans who have made this possible than inviting them to attend OZZFEST for free..

Since 1996, OZZFEST has been a virtual breeding ground for rising bands. The festival has been instrumental in igniting the careers of platinum-selling artists like System of a Down, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Incubus, Slipknot, Queens of the Stoneage and Godsmack. Along with supporting bands on the rise including Avenged Sevenfold, Mudvayne, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Lacuna Coil, among others.

OZZFEST was created to keep this genre of music alive by showcasing new talent," states Sharon. "You better believe we.re going to keep perpetuating that by hand-picking compelling new bands that are hungry for OZZFEST's career-making exposure."
