Through its innovative fundraising platform at www.ticketsforcharity.com, Tickets-for-Charity offers music fans the nation’s first socially-positive alternative to the thousands of unauthorized ticket brokers and scalpers in the multi-billion dollar secondary ticket market. Tickets-for-Charity provides fans with a convenient way to access great seats at typically the same or better price they pay elsewhere, where 100% of the benefit above face value supports fan and artist-selected charities addressing today’s most urgent issues from children’s cancer to hunger. It costs nothing for charities or artists to participate.

Legendary singer-songwriter James Taylor is at the forefront of artists stepping forward to support Tickets-for-Charity. “Tickets-for-Charity gives fans the opportunity to support charity in a unique way by letting them combine their passion for music with a desire to help causes that we all care about,” said James Taylor.

Enabling people to feel good about their entertainment purchases, Tickets-for-Charity connects fans and artists through the music they love – and the worthy organizations they support – to improve the lives of millions in communities across America and around the world.
