Tom Petty to Auction Tickets for Midwest Flood Victims

Contributed By: Corey Bolton Created On: Monday, 30 June 2008 Hits: 167 Tom Petty Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will auction off front row tickets at some of their upcoming shows to benefit victims of the recent Midwestern floods. Petty and The Heartbreakers--currently in the middle of a run that resumes Wednesday (July 2) in Chicago--typically hold several front row tickets at each show to give out to fans seated in the back of the venue. But will instead auction off those seats for the band's dates in Noblesville, IN July 3, Milwaukee July 5, Cincinnati July 8 and Alpharetta, GA July 9. Auctions for the first two shows have already started, with a minimum bid of $1,000. Bids for the remaining pair of shows will be accepted beginning tomorrow (July 1), with auctions for the tour's remaining non-festival shows to begin at a later date. Petty continues to support "Highway Companion," which surfaced in the summer of '06. Petty also recently reformed his pre-Heartbreakers outfit, Mudcrutch, with original bandmates Tom Leadon and Randall Marsh, and longtime Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell.
