Two New Zealand Elton John fans will get a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet one of music's all time greats. The highest bidder in the Elton John TradeMe auction will win the ultimate experience for two people – attendance at the official concert sound check, dinner and a luxury suite at the Hotel InterContinental Wellington, the opportunity to watch the show from the VIP suite, premium car transfers, signed artist merchandise plus lots more. 100% of the proceeds from the charity auction will be donated to The New Zealand AIDS Foundation, a cause Elton is passionate about. Sir Elton comes to New Zealand for one concert at Wellington's Westpac Stadium on 6 December. Limited tickets to the concert are still available. Sir Elton launched his own charity, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, in 1992. This organisation was established with the objective of making emergency funds available for basic needs in areas where the epidemic has been most hard-hitting. Automatic donations to the New Zealand AIDS Foundation can be made instantly by calling 0900 (RIBBON) 742266 – a $10 donation will be charged to the bill payers telephone account. Alternatively donations can be made online at http://www.nzaf.org.nz/. The Trade Me charity auction opens at 5pm Wednesday 15th November and closes at 9pm on Tuesday 21st November 2007.
