kicked off at 6 a.m. on November 18 with Jay-Z performing 30-
minute sets first in Atlanta and subsequently Philadelphia, DC, New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and finally Las Vegas. Each tour stop
was packed with excited fans that came out to experience a
high-energy performance by one of their favorite artists. In three
of the concert locations, Atlanta, Philadelphia and DC, Cingular
held a "Change Clothes & Go with Jay-Z" text- promotion contest
during the show whereby a lucky Cingular customer, and a guest, was
randomly selected to join Jay-Z and his entourage for the remainder
of the tour. Cingular customer Lindsay Jackson, a 25-year old Human
Service professional and Jay-Z fan from Mt. Vernon, New York
attended the concert in DC with one of her girlfriends, Toni Hazel,
another die hard fan. Like many Cingular customers in the audience,
Jackson entered Cingular's "Change Clothes & Go with Jay-Z"
text promotion and was randomly selected to join Jay-Z on tour.
According to Jackson, "When we were told we won, it felt unreal.
But once we were signing consent forms, we knew it was a dream come
true. We were immediately taken backstage, joining winners from the
two previous cities and watched Jay-Z perform up close and
personal. Getting to go on tour with Jay-Z was the ultimate
once-in-a-lifetime experience. Jay-Z was really polite and laid
back and the crowds were hyped, especially in New York. I believe
the level of energy was so high because he's a New York native.
Everyone sang along with him as he worked the crowd. It was
unforgettable." Cingular and Music Cingular has a long history in
leading the convergence of wireless and music. - July 2003 -
