NEW ORLEANS, LA (MAY 5, 2006) Gulf Coast News

Tickets are set to go on-sale Friday, May 19th at 10:00AM at all Ticketmaster outlets for the country’s fastest selling, #1 most requested concert ticket (according to Ticketmaster) of 2006 – Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “Soul2Soul II” Tour appearance in New Orleans at the New Orleans Arena on July 5th.

One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the concert will be donated by Tim and Faith’s newly established Neighbors Keeper Foundation, to organizations, which will be determined at a later date, which are in need of goods, services and finances to assist individuals still suffering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina.

It’s intended for the concert, which will take place on July 5th at 7:30PM at the New Orleans Arena, to bring together New Orleans residents, as well as all those from the surrounding areas, in the spirit of renewal. As part of that effort, organizers have lowered the usual “Soul2Soul II” Tour ticket prices to between $20 and $85 and Tim and Faith have insisted on distributing half the floor seats to volunteers in the area who have worked tirelessly over the past nine months since Katrina first hit the region on August 29th, 2005. The floor seats are being donated by longtime McGraw sponsor Bud Light, which according to Tim Schoen, Vice President, Sports and Entertainment Marketing for Anheuser-Busch, is proud to join Tim and Faith and the Neighbors Keeper Foundation in the event, and to provide this unique thank you to the many volunteers in the area.

“We will not stop, we will not forget, we will not quit, until we see our friends, our families and our neighbors returned to the lives that they once knew,” said Tim and Faith in a joint statement. “We hope to give everyone who comes out a few hours to just enjoy.” “Soul2Soul II” launched to unanimous critical praise and sold-out audiences thus far in Columbus,

Chicago, Detroit and Grand Rapids. Fans and critics alike have been blown away by the tour’s unique in-the-round set design which has put fans closer than ever to the action guaranteeing great seats from anywhere in the house. The show features the songs that have become synonymous with Tim and Faith’s careers, as well as some never before seen musical performances.
