How did Live Earth come about? |

multi-year campaign led by The Alliance for Climate Protection to move
individuals, corporations and governments to take action. All proceeds will

Who is staging Live Earth in Australia? |
| |
Staging Live Earth Australia is the same team of event producers that
came together to mount the celebrated WaveAid tsunami benefit concert in
Sydney in 2005. They are the legendary Australian concert promoter Michael
Chugg A.M. (Chugg Entertainment), Mark Pope (event producer of the ARIA
Awards) and Joe Segreto of IMC (founder and promoter of Sydney's annual
Homebake festival). |

What about transport at the Live Earth Concert Australia ? |
| |
Live Earth promoters have worked closely with Australian government
officials to include the price of public transport in the ticket price for
the event. This includes travel to and from the event on CityRail trains,
special event buses to and from Central Station and Moore Park, and on
standard Sydney Buses and Sydney Ferries' services.
Including the cost of
public transport in the ticket price will ensure that the environmental
impact caused by getting the crowd to and from the show will be kept to a
minimum. Organizers will encourage all concert attendees to use the public
transport supplied.
