[edit] Announcement

On January 5th, 2007 the band Dispatch announced a benefit concert entitled "Dispatch: Zimbabwe" which was to reunite the band on July 14th, 2007 at Madison Square Garden. All of the money raised from ticket sales will go directly to charities that are fighting disease, famine and social injustice in Zimbabwe; a portion will be allocated to local charities that the band supports in the United States. On January 10, during the first half hour of the exclusive presale, available to their MySpace friends only, the band announced that the show was "officially sold out." Dispatch quickly scheduled another show scheduled for Friday, July 13th, 2007. This show sold out within 24 hours, resulting in the addition of yet another night: July 15th, 2007. Tickets for this show went on sale January 20th at 9:00 AM on Ticketmaster, which have sold out also. The band has held multiple charity ticket auctions for the show through Ticketmaster that have additionally raised more than $20,000 for The Elias Fund.

Shortly after the announcement of the three Madison Square Garden shows, the band also announced a show at New York nightclub Webster Hall July 11, 2007. Tickets to the show were available on Ticketmaster through online auction only between June 15 and June 30. The minimum bid for a pair of tickets was $50 per ticket.

On July 11, it was also announced that more tickets had been become available to purchase for the Madison Square Garden shows due to the final production design. Many of these seats were floor seats.
