Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the efforts of the following charities:

Double O

Double O charity was started by The Who in 1976 and has now evolved into a private dispersal charity focused more than ever on 'survival' of drug and alcohol damage, domestic violence, sexual abuse, music education, emergency relief for international disasters, and young people's prison reform. It has dispersed about 4,000,000 pounds Sterling since inception, and been indirectly responsible for the dispersal of another similar amount through Double O Promotions, which channels a lot of Townshend- and Who-related activity. Since 2002, all of the Who tours have been recorded, and live CDs of every show have been sold as part of the Encore series. All the proceeds, after profit, have gone to Double O -- totaling about 1,000.000 pounds so far.
