Offers Exclusive Concerts Performed by Aerosmith, Dave Matthews, Mary J. Blige, and Tony Bennett to Introduce Enhanced Program
New York – Citi® / AAdvantage® credit cardmembers have a lot to be excited about. Today, Citi introduces the enhanced Citi® / AAdvantage® Card Private Pass Program with a cardmember-only concert series. The series, “Traveling Through Life”, will feature Aerosmith, Dave Matthews, Mary J. Blige, and Tony Bennett. The enhanced program, set to launch October 9th, features a new website, www.privatepass.citi.com, providing cardmembers access to exclusive events and experiences.
The ground-breaking concert series provides Citi® / AAdvantage® cardmembers a chance to connect with A-list artists in a way they may have never experienced before, and can’t experience anywhere else. During each performance, the artist will perform hand-selected songs at intimate venues, taking fans on a live musical journey.
Tickets go on sale to Citi® / AAdvantage® cardmembers exclusively on Monday, October 9th at 9 a.m. EST, on www.privatepass.citi.com. Cardmembers who purchase tickets and their guests are given a complimentary gift at the end of the show. Select cardmembers may also have the opportunity to meet and greet the artist backstage and win signed memorabilia.
