The (RED) Zones at U2's 360° Tour

As you may have read, U2 have allocated a (RED) Zone VIP area at every show throughout their upcoming 360° Tour. These premium location tickets were auctioned when the tickets went on sale with net proceeds helping the Global Fund and (RED)’s work to fight AIDS in Africa. We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of you who lent their support and who successfully bid on these (RED) Zone tickets.

“(RED)’s contribution to the Global Fund in just three years is over $130 million. This is not only helping hundreds of thousands of people in Rwanda, Swaziland, Ghana and Lesotho where the money is at work on the ground but (RED), through its partners’ marketing efforts is also having a tremendous impact on public awareness of the HIV pandemic in Africa. We are honoured to have both the crucial support of the money flowing in, and the vote of confidence in the Global Fund’s way of providing aid.”

Professor Michel Kazatchkine, Executive Director of The Global Fund To Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria
