The Milarepa Fund and Delsener/Slater have announced that tickets for the Tibetan Freedom Concert, June 7th & 8th at Downing Stadium, Randall's Island, will be on sale this Friday, May 2nd. Tickets are $40.00 per day and available through Ticketmaster outlets and the Roseland box office. Roseland box office hours are 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm weekdays (9:00 am - 6:00 pm May 2nd), and accepts cash only with no service charge. Two-day tickets will be available for $80.00 with a reduced Ticketmaster service charge.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Milarepa Fund, a San Francisco-based organization dedicated to the promotion of compassion. Milarepa also organized last year's Tibetan Freedom Concert in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, where 20 artists, including the Smashing Pumpkins, Fugees, Beck, Rage Against the Machine and some of this year's returning artists, performed in support of human rights and global responsibility.

Since 1949, an estimated 1.2 million Tibetans have died as a direct result of the occupation by the Chinese government. Countless others have been tortured and imprisoned, often for trying to exercise their basic human rights. Yet under the leadership of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetans have based their resistance on principles of compassion and nonviolence, while suffering some of the worst human rights and environmental abuses on the planet.
