Easier access to Army Fete tickets

Army fete event co-ordinator Major Keston Charles highlighted this as he met with promoter Cliff Harris and Sun Tixx Caribbean, owner and managing director, Jean- Marc Aimey to sign contracts for a new deal for the event.

“This Carnival event has grown from strength to strength and this association will make the availability of tickets for the event almost unlimited to our patrons,” Charles said.

“We consider this innovative use of technology and enterprise to be extremely beneficial to our successful management of this event – which is not only a main staple on the Carnival calendar and a source of enjoyment to members of the public, but also represents the main source of funds for our annual Children’s Christmas Party.” The contracts, which were signed by Aimey and Charles, will now allow the fete tickets to be purchased and sold at any and all certified NLCB/ G-TECH/VIA outlets around the nation.

“Sun Tixx is extremely pleased to partner with G-Tech, VIA and Army Fete in order to provide convenient and almost unlimited access to tickets for this event,” Aimey said.

The fete is scheduled for February 17 at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain and will feature Machel Montano and his band and Roy Cape All Stars with Dexter “Blaxx” Stewart, Ricardo Drue and Tanzania “Tizzy” Sebastian. Special guest acts are Soca Monarch Voice, “Ricky-T” Joseph from St Lucia, MX Prime and The Ultimate Rejects, Stevenson “Shal” Marshall, Iwer George and Orlando Octave.

Several hundred ticket- holders at the fete will receive special complimentary NLCB “Going For Gold” Scratch cards, which will give them a chance to win $200,000.
