Zude™.com, the social computing platform that provides users an unprecedented level of freedom and design customization, announced today the launch of the online community for Summerfest, “The World’s Largest Summer Music Festival,” attracting nearly 900,000 fans.
In conjunction with the eleven-day festival, to be held in Milwaukee June 26-July 6, Zude.com will auction off three Summerfest packages. Auction proceeds will go to the Foundation Fighting Blindness. The auction, beginning today and running through June 23rd, is being managed by Kompolt online auction agency (www.kompolt.com).
Summerfest selected Zude.com as the platform for its online community. Dubbed “Summerfest Nation” (www.zude.com/Summerfest), the community is designed to help festival attendees make the most of their Summerfest experience. Summerfest Nation features a variety of useful information, such as car pool details, hints to compete in the event’s scavenger hunt, festival shopping guides, as well as everything a fan would need to know about the bands and their music. Zude.com is also giving away free concert tickets to the first 2000 fans to sign up for Summerfest Nation.
Two eBay auctions, sponsored by Zude, will award winners VIP concert packages, including hotel accommodations, tickets and backstage passes to see either The Crystal Method or Filter. In a third eBay auction, the winning bidder and three friends will receive a private behind-the-scenes tour of the 75-acre Summerfest grounds, four general admission tickets, a collectors’ book titled 40 Years of Summerfest, and other festival memorabilia. For more information, please go to www.ebay.com/SummerfestNation.
“We’re thrilled to be playing Summerfest, but especially excited to play a part in raising money for the Foundation Fighting Blindness,” said Ken Jordan, lead DJ of The Crystal Method. “This Foundation helps thousands of people each year, funding research to help find treatments and cures for a number of leading causes of blindness.”
