performance at the Festival, holding the record for the most tickets
ever sold. Collective Soul has seven #1 rock hits to their credit and
worldwide sales in excess of $7 million.

"Early indications from web and telephone orders are that Passport sales
are pacing way ahead of previous years," says Kim Green, CEO of Tourism
Charlottetown.  "The line-up is solid and people want to attend all
three nights. There are limitations on the number of people that can be
accomodated in the site.  We encourage everyone to get Passports early
as a limited number are available for sale."
