“I couldn’t wait to get back to where there were folkies and the antiwar and civil rights movements,” she says. “There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late ‘60s in Cambridge.”

SPECIAL BENEFIT SEATS
At nearly every concert, Bonnie offers terrific, hand-selected seats to benefit local non-profit organizations working on issues of safe and sustainable energy, environmental protection, peace with justice and beyond. Some of these limited tickets (called Special Benefit Seats) go on-sale through bonnieraitt.com in advance of the general on-sale for each date. To stay informed about when special benefit seats will go on-sale, please join the Mailing List.
$1 PER TICKET DONATED TO CHARITY
$1 from every ticket sold for a Bonnie Raitt concert, unless the venue is a 501c3 organization or the show is a benefit concert, is donated to a 501c3 charitable foundation that supports non-profit organizations working on a variety of causes including safe and sustainable energy, environmental protection, social justice, food & shelter insecurity, youth arts & music education and more.
SEATS FOR CHANGE OUTREACH CAMPAIGN
For concerts where the ticketing system can accommodate, a limited batch of Platinum or Premium tickets is released during the general on-sale. These are great seats that are priced closer to market value and offered directly through the venue’s official ticketing site to compete with scalpers who would otherwise resell similar seats at inflated prices. Fans can feel confident purchasing great seats directly from the official ticketing website as it eliminates the risk and worry of purchasing tickets off-platform that might be considered lost, stolen or counterfeit.
These Platinum and Premium Tickets are a part of the Seats for Change Fund outreach campaign. Seats for Change is a program Bonnie Raitt has initiated to designate $25 of every Platinum and Premium ticket purchase be donated directly to the ARIA Foundation (Tax ID# 95-4788175) to support a variety of local and national causes including safe and sustainable energy, environmental protection, social justice, food & shelter insecurity, youth arts & music education and more. If you purchased a Platinum or Premium ticket to a Bonnie Raitt concert, thank you for being a part of this outreach campaign. Please email TheARIAfoundationoffice@gmail.com if you would like more information.
GREEN HIGHWAY INFORMATION TABLES AT CONCERTS
Whenever possible (due to venue feasibility) Bonnie’s Green Highway team coordinates the presence of non-profit organizations at Bonnie’s concerts to share information about their work with concertgoers. Please visit these information tables often located in the lobby and/or concessions area to learn more about the grassroots efforts underway in your community!
