Lucinda Williams Offers Relief from High Ticket Prices

Three-time Grammy Award-winner Lucinda Williams knows how tough it is out there during the current economic climate. She also knows that the fees attached to her concert tickets (and most others)
are making things even tougher for fans. Since Williams cannot control these fees, she wanted to do something to offer some kind of relief to her fans.
"I cannot, in good conscience, sit back and watch my fans get blatantly gouged." she said. "As an attempt to offset these fees, we are going to offer a standing credit at our merchandise table to  everyone attending our upcoming U.S. shows in 2009."
Each fan who attends a Lucinda Williams show in 2009 will receive a credit on merchandise sold at the concerts. The credit will be applied at the merchandise table at each venue. The discount will be approximately $7 on clothing and $5 on CDs. This credit will also be extended to her online store at lucindawilliams.com from April 1 to July 31 to accommodate those who may have attended shows prior to this announcement.
Williams added, "I understand that this may only be a small gesture and in no way solves the problem long term, but I feel that it is important to try and do something to make it a little easier during this time."
