In a previous statement, producers of Spare Some Change said, "This is such an important time for all of us in this country. As many already know, Barack will not accept public funding from lobbyists or political action committees, but instead relies solely on a broad base of individual donors – such as ourselves – to ensure that his campaign answers to no one but the people. Please join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so we can make history." All proceeds will be donated to Senator Obama's campaign.
Tickets, priced $30 and $60, are available by e-mailing [email protected]. Those under the age of 25 can "pay what they can" beginning at 6 PM the day of the concert. The Fifth Floor Theater at New York University is located at 111 Second Avenuue (between 6th and 7th Streets) in the East Village.
