As part of the Obama campaign’s effort to turn out voters across the Commonwealth, Springsteen will give a special appearance at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion in Charlottesville. 

Free tickets will be available at OFA offices in the Charlottesville until 9 p.m. Monday and beginning at 8 a.m. Tuesday. Tickets will also be available at 8:00am tomorrow at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion box office.

Voting matters, elections matter.”
