Beginning with the public on-sale, special $29* tickets will be available for one week only (or while supplies last).<\/p>\n

Keeping with the O’Neill’s vision (Paul O\u2019Neill<\/strong>,<\/a> and his wife Desi<\/strong>), TSO remains one of rock\u2019s most charitable bands. Once again, thankfully, TSO will give at least $1 from every ticket sold to charity. To date, approximately $18 million has been donated by the group. Desi O\u2019Neill said, \u201cwe want to thank the fans so much for the kindness they showed in coming out last year. It meant the world to our family.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the credit for any charitable donation is due to you not us. The only way we are able to help all is because of you.\u201d A portion of the proceeds from this year\u2019s concerts will benefit two local charities – Keystone Military Families and Miller Keystone Blood Center.<\/p>\n

A product of the imagination of TSO\u2019s late founder Paul O\u2019Neill, and his wife Desi, and based on TSO\u2019s multi-platinum CD and TV special, \u201cThe Ghosts of Christmas Eve,\u201d the rock opera features such enduring fan-favorites as “Christmas Eve\/Sarajevo 12\/24,” “O\u2019 Come All Ye Faithful,” “Good King Joy,” “Christmas Canon,” “Music Box Blues,” “Promises To Keep,” and “This Christmas Day.” 2022\u2019s tour will also boast a rousing second set containing more of TSO\u2019s greatest hits and fan-pleasers including \u201cWizards In Winter,\u201d \u201cA Mad Russian\u2019s Christmas,\u201d and many more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was so special to be back playing live last year. When you love something as much as we do and it’s taken away, it made us super thankful to be back. I look forward to seeing all our \u2018repeat offenders\u2019 and all our new friends when we hit the road,\u201d said TSO\u2019s music director and lead guitarist Al Pitrelli<\/strong>. \u201cI love all of Paul\u2019s stories, but \u2018The Ghosts of Christmas Eve\u2019 is one of my favorites and can\u2019t wait to unveil this incredibly amazing new show for everyone. We know some people may be having tough times, so we worked hard with the local promoters and arenas to have a low priced $29 ticket to do our part in helping out. God Bless all of you and see you in November and December when we celebrate in-person once again.\u201d<\/p>\n
