Family Channel offers concert access service


TORONTO – Family Channel has launched a new service to give viewers the chance to purchase advance tickets to shows and events for younger viewers.

The service, called Family First, kicks off on March 28th when viewers can order tickets for the July 4th concert by the Jonas Brothers concert at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, the only Canadian date on their North American tour. Family First has been allotted half of the available tickets for the show. Tickets for the general public go on sale the following day.

“We are always looking for ways to extend the Family Channel experience by offering experiences and opportunities that build loyalty and bring benefit to our viewers,” said Holly Chapman, Director of Astral Media Integrated Solutions. “We are thrilled to offer this new service and provide first access for our viewers to some of Canada’s premiere live events and concerts.”

To order advance tickets, viewers and parents can go to www.family.ca starting March 28th at 12 p.m. ET to receive a password, and then link directly to Ticketmaster to enter the password and purchase tickets during the 24-hour period. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and there is a limit of 6 tickets per transaction.
