Fans to Bid on Great Seats Exclusively Through BritneySpears.com And
The StubHub Network
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Britney Spears and StubHub.com are
working together to auction premium seats to all shows on Britney Spears'
upcoming North American Tour. This charity auction can be accessed through
Britney Spears' official website, http://www.britneyspears.com , as well as through
each site across the StubHub Network, including http://www.stubhub.com . Fans can
bid on pairs of premium tickets and each winner will also receive one
SmartFlash Kit per pair of tickets and the chance to attend the sound check
party prior to the show. Proceeds will benefit The Britney Spears Foundation,
a charitable foundation that supports the annual Britney Spears Camp for the
Performing Arts.
"We are excited to be working with StubHub to offer premium concert
tickets to the fans," said co-manager Larry Rudolph for Britney Spears. "This
allows Britney's fans to get access to premium seats and other great benefits,
while at the same time raising money for The Britney Spears Foundation."
The StubHub Network is a nationwide group of websites that offer the
co-branded StubHub Ticket Marketplace where fans can buy and sell tickets in a
fully streamlined and secure fashion to live events throughout the country.

that StubHub can help make this possible and look forward to working with
other socially conscious artists in the same way."
About The Britney Spears Foundation
The mission of The Britney Spears Foundation is focused on a singular goal
-- to help children. Central to the Foundation's core principles is the
ability to apply the restorative aspect of entertainment to benefit children
in need. The Foundation fulfills this mission in a variety of ways. Designed
to benefit deserving youth, The Britney Spears Foundation supports the annual
Britney Spears Camp for the Performing Arts. Now in its third year, the Camp
includes 130 boys and girls, ages 11 -- 15, who participate in performing arts
workshops and master classes.
The Britney Spears Foundation also creates fun-filled sanctuaries for
children on extended hospital stays. These sanctuaries allow kids to play,
relax, learn, and most importantly, enjoy being kids. The first room was
created at the Shriner's Hospital in Chicago. Along with these and other
efforts, the Britney Spears Foundation will release the most rewarding
dimensions of entertainment -- the power to heal and the power to fulfill.
