Boston Residents Gather to Volunteer Their Time in Exchange for Free Lady Gaga Tickets

WHAT:

Virgin Mobile USA, sponsor of the upcoming Lady Gaga North American tour, is providing
volunteers in the Boston area with an opportunity to earn tickets to Virgin Mobile Presents
the Monster Ball starring Lady Gaga coming to Boston on July 1, 2010.

A group of 15 volunteers will gather on June 9 and 10 to paint the drop-in center for Bridge
Over Troubled Water, a local homeless youth organization and partner of Virgin Mobile’s
RE*Generation initiative to fight youth homelessness.

For the second leg of Lady Gaga’s tour, Virgin Mobile USA is extending its innovative "Free I.P.”
program nationally, offering fans access to premium-seating, free show tickets in exchange for
volunteering their time.

WHERE:

The "Free I.P.” volunteer program originated at Virgin Mobile FreeFest, held this past August
and recently announced it will again be returning for the FreeFest this September. The
initiative gives concert fans the chance to receive premium tickets in exchange for volunteer
hours at local homeless youth organizations throughout the country. This past summer, the
"Free I.P.” program at FreeFest generated more than 30,000 hours of community service by
concert-goers.
