Organizers of the “We Stand on Guard” concert at Mile One Stadium announced again this morning they have cut the ticket price in half for students.
Students with valid ID can purchase their tickets for $20.
Premier Danny Williams and the cast of “Republic of Doyle” have been added to the list of those who’ll take to the stage at the concert, a benefit for the victims of Hurricane Igor.
A door prize of a trip for two to Mexico is being offered, as well.
“While the live concert will be broadcast across the province, it’s the live concert that will truly capture hearts and show the people who were impacted by Igor that we are all here for them,” said Shanneyganock singer Chris Andrews, chairman of the organizing committee, in a media release.
“Every ticket holder will be sending a message that they care for the victims of Igor. Every dollar counts. Every person attending the show counts.”
Hosted by Seamus O’Reagan, “We Stand on Guard” will feature performances by acts including The Idlers, Tara Oram, the Novaks, Amelia Curran, Kim Stockwood, and Hey Rosetta!.
All proceeds will go to the Newfoundland and Labrador region of the Canadian Red Cross.
Regular price tickets are $40.
All tickets can be bought at the Mile One Box Office, by phoning 576-7657 or 1-800-361-4595, or online at www.admission.com.
Transcontinental’s 17 provincial websites — including The Telegram’s — will broadcast the concert live, starting at 7:30 p.m.
