Matchbox Twenty Auction Tickets For Anti-gun Campaign

April 23, 2003

Rockers Matchbox Twenty are auctioning front row tickets to some of their upcoming tour dates - to benefit an anti-gun campaign.

The tickets for select dates on their MMore Than You Think You Are tour will be put up for bidding on auction website eBAY, with proceeds benefiting the Speak Up Campaign run by PAX, who hopes to end to the gun violence epidemic in America. Matchbox Twenty guitarist Adam Gaynor says the band always "does whatever it can" to help out organizations such as PAX.

He adds, "Yeah, I mean it's a great thing to be able to do things for people as far as trying to make other people aware of things.

"And if you can have any kind of contribution to a charity organization or an awareness organization - it's something that is a great thing if you can do it."

Seriously, mb20 is my favorite band. They have been for like the past 2 years. Its a shame that I will now have to stop buying their merchandise.... oh well, their loss.

Actually, I doubt they'll feel the loss at all. They might be out $1.00 or so from you not buying their next album, if they're lucky enough to get such a large percentage of CD sales from their recording contract.

Their label might take a $16.00 hit though. :)

Yes, I do realize that me not buying one of their CD's is not going to suddenly take them to the poorhouse but at least I will feel better! :)
