A new initiative to help make gigs more affordable to Tesco
customers this summer has been set up by Newark based event and
concert production company, Liz Hobbs Group Ltd.
Tesco is now selling cut-price tickets for 23 open-air music
concerts at a number of Jockey Club Racecourses across the UK,
through its Tesco Entertainment website.
The ticket prices also include an evening at the races, giving
customers great value for money and a double helping of
entertainment.
Liz Hobbs Group is producing more than 29 concerts at 10 Jockey
Club racecourses over an 85 day period this summer, with artists
including Tom Jones, Alexandra Burke, Beach Boys, Scissor Sisters
and Blondie.
Liz Doogan-Hobbs MBE, CEO of Liz Hobbs Group said: "The whole
concept of music at the races is that we're adding value. For the
price of a ticket to the races, people can enjoy a few hours of
racing, followed by a fantastic open-air show.
"Tesco recognised that these events are great value for money,
so we're absolutely delighted that they are now offering their
customers the opportunity to see top artists and bands perform at
some of the most prestigious racecourses across the UK."
Rob Salter, Tesco's Entertainment Director said: "We know our
customers are increasingly keen to experience live music and we
wanted to meet this growing trend, by providing a ticket offer that
would deliver great value and a reliable service.
"Tickets to see music at the races are a perfect summertime
treat to enjoy with friends or family, at an affordable price.
What's key when money is so tight is that customers don't need to
worry about unexpected additional ticket costs when they buy from
our entertainment website."
Ticket prices start at £12 and customers will earn double
Clubcard points on all purchases. The benefit of buying through
Tesco Entertainment is that there are no booking fees or credit
card charges and delivery of tickets is free.
Even the most expensive tickets will be capped at just
£33, making the gigs more affordable to Tesco customers.
Jockey Club Racecourse concert tickets are also available via
the racecourse websites and mainstream online ticket agencies.
