JAM IN THE \'DAM 2006 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT & PRE-SALE

2 Weeks, 8 Bands, 3000 Fans.

Following the unprecedented success of this year\'s first ever
international multi-band festival in Amsterdam at the legendary Melkweg, Vision
International is proud to announce that in 2006, we are expanding to
TWO three-day shows. They will be held on back-to-back weeks, at the
fan-friendly venue that hosted us so well in March.

Jam in the Dam\'s "Eerste Week" will be March 12-13-14 and the "T****e
Week" will be March 19-20-21. For the really dedicated, there will be a
limited number of discounted tickets, good for both weekends, complete
with four days in
between to recharge.

The line-ups are as follows:

Eerste Week (March 12-13-14):

Disco Biscuits
Yonder Mountain String Band
Galactic
The New Deal

T****e Week (March 19-20-21):

Umphrey\'s McGee
Sound Tribe Sector 9
North Mississippi Allstars
Benevento/Russo Duo

Each act will play a long two-hour set each night of Jam in the \'Dam,
in one of the two venues. There will be overlap, so that we can
accommodate all attendees within the two rooms. Even though the total capacity
is 1750, we only plan to sell 1500 tickets to each event, so as to keep
it very comfortable for all. This worked very well in \'05, and rarely,
if ever, did either room get overly crowded.

We are offering members of the Jam in the \'Dam, Walther Productions and
artist mailing lists the first shot at tickets, with a limited number
of pre-sale tickets available starting Wednesday June 29th at NOON
Eastern.
The General Public on-sale will begin a week later on Wednesday July
6th at NOON Eastern at: http://jaminthedam.com/

Also, at that time or shortly thereafter, travel packages will be
available from Madison House Travel. Due to the nature of the show, there
will not be a \'one size fits all\' package, but packages will include
deals on airfares, hotels, and offer travel insurance. Show passes can
also be included, but not discounted further.

Buy early and save $30 on your pass! Early-Bird Passes will be sold at
$169 per weekend for a limited time only, while supplies last. Once
all the Early-Bird passes are sold out, the price will go up to $199 per
weekend. We will also have a very limited time offer for a very small
quantity of 2-Weekend Passes, good for both the Eerste Week and the
T****e Week shows. For the first week of presales, we will be offering the
2-Weekend passes for a super discounted rate of $245 each, which is a
savings of more than $150 on the total cost of purchasing Advance Passes
for both weekends. As an added bonus, the first 100 ticket buyers will
receive a copy of Joe Pauker\'s new 2006 edition of "Get Lost: The Cool
Guide to Amsterdam".

Pre-sale ticket deal offers can be purchased, starting Wednesday June
29th at Noon Eastern through:

http://Www.walthertix.musictoday.com

Charge by phone by calling 1-800-594-TIXX (8499)

For more information, visit the official Jam in the \'Dam website. Due
to the late confirmation of some bands, the site will evolve over the
next few weeks. One of the new features will be a short form video from
March.

Please be advised that passes are non-refundable, and once purchased,
it is the sole reponsibility of the buyer to arrange travel, whether
through Madison House, or on your own.

Thanks for making the first Jam in the \'Dam over the top. We hope to
see you and your friends again next March.

Interesting idea, but the line-up does nothing for me, despite it being in my backyard as it were; I\'d only want to see the biscuits. Just gotta hope they come over to Europe earlier and play some shows in the UK like Particle did this year.

SWEET!!!!   That first weekend is a lock for me...as far as the 2nd weekend the Duo is the only thing I wanna see...WOW!!!  Four of my favorite bands in one weekend.  Then off to Ireland for 4 or 5 days...now I know that St. Patty\'s day isn\'t huge over in Ireland like it is here, but for me to be there on MY holiday...priceless!

The first one was one of the best times I have ever had in my life...I cannot wait.
Too fat for a tandem bike, and too drunk for a Mountain Bike...taste the fear.
