CD Buyers Get The Edge For Free Ozzfest
Billboard.com reports: Though this summer’s Ozzfest tour will cost fans nothing to attend, those who purchase OZZY OSBOURNE’s first new studio album in six years, “Black Rain,” will now have a better shot at getting in the door. The initial pressings of “Black Rain” will contain a code that will give fans first crack at scoring a ticket to Ozzfest.
As previously reported, “Black Rain” will arrive May 22 via Epic. Specially marked copies of the new set will be available at participating retailers. Fans will be able to use a code found within the album’s packaging to redeem two Ozzfest tickets via a special Web site starting June 8 — four days before they’re made available to the general public.
Ozzy and his wife Sharon created a stir back in February when they revealed the Live Nation-produced Ozzfest would be a sponsor-driven, free event, and acts would be asked to play without being paid.
In addition to OSBOURNE, confirmed Ozzfest acts include LAMB OF GOD, HATEBREED, LORDI, BEHEMOTH, MONDO GENERATOR, ANKLA, CIRCUS DIABLO, NILE, THE SHOWDOWN, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, DAATH, CHTHONIC and IN THIS MOMENT. The 24-city tour begins July 12 at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle, and wraps Aug. 30 at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Before his headlining his stint on Ozzfest, OSBOURNE will play international dates beginning May 27 in Moscow. He is also one of the subjects of VH1’s “Rock Honors,” to be taped May 12 in Las Vegas for a May 24 premiere on the network.

i’ll buy it its ozzy
thats ingenious
yo…that new song is pretty damn good…definitely geared to be able to be played all over the radio…but it is pretty damn good none the less.
thats the smartest thing Sharon has done since she decided to end ‘The Osbournes’
this album is gonna sell 80-100K first week on this promotion alone
(it would be sneaky if Epic jacked up the price for this – so in essance you would be paying for a ticket!)
And so it begins…
The new song isn’t half bad. I’d buy the album anyway.
I Love Ozzy, but you absolutely knew there was some way that his cunt wife would try to get more money out of this…
well you still get a 10+ hour concert with that cd. so what’s there to complain about?
Ozzfest 2007 is the least jewish thing Sharon’s ever done.
Its funny how nobody has one real reason to hate sharon.
The new album is gonna fucking own. To all the dio fans, isnt it funny how ozzy can sell records without iommi?
Its funny how nobody has one real reason to hate sharon. exactly i agree people should really thank her for savein ozzys ass back in the day and for what shes done for metal but everyone thinks it makes them badass to talk shit about her
