'N Sync Tickets Up For Auction
(7/13/00) Launch

The members of 'N Sync have donated some of their personal tickets for auction on the Internet via Yahoo (auctions.yahoo.com). The group is holding 10 separate auctions, each one for a set of four tickets. The highest bidders and winners of each set of four tickets will also get a meet-and-greet pass allowing them to hang with 'N Sync before or after the concert. The auctions begin Saturday (July 15) and continue through July 29. The auctions benefit both the Justin Timberlake Foundation and 'N Sync's Challenge For The Children Foundation.

'N Sync singer Timberlake recently told LAUNCH what his namesake foundation is all about. "It's to improve the arts programs and schools--not just inner-city schools, but also public schools," he explained. "I just want kids who are at a young age and have dreams to have the opportunity to actually try them. I think if kids find a positive way to channel their emotions, they can channel them in a positive way."

The starting bid for each set of tickets is $500, and the packages will be auctioned as the date of each concert approaches. The dates and venues with tickets up for auction include:

July 16 - Pittsburgh, PA - Three Rivers Stadium
July 18 - Pontiac, MI - Silverdome
July 20 - Philadelphia, PA - The Spectrum
July 21 - Philadelphia, PA - The Spectrum
July 23 - Foxboro, MA - Foxboro Stadium (meet-and-greet pass not included)
July 30 - Hershey, PA - Hersheypark Stadium
August 1 - Chicago, IL - Route 66 Raceway

In other 'N Sync news, the group's first-ever live televised concert will take place at New York City's Madison Square Garden on July 27 at 9:00 p.m.ET, and it will air on cable's HBO.
