As part of its new Members initiative, Virgin Mobile Canada will be giving its customers the chance to buy tickets to the upcoming Lady Gaga concert series, called The Monster Ball, before they officially go on sale.

Virgin Mobile customers can grab pre-sale tickets for the Toronto and Vancouver dates for the concert, from Tuesday, March 16 through to Thursday, March 18. Tickets officially go on sale on March 19 through LiveNation.com. The concerts take place this summer: July 11 in Toronto, ON (Air Canada Centre), and August 23 in Vancouver, BC (General Motors Place). Another Canadian show will take place on August 26 at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, AB. The date tickets go on sale for this concert are still TBA.

"We are excited to take our partnership with Lady Gaga and the Monster Ball Tour to another level," says Bob Stohrer, Vice President of Marketing for Virgin Mobile USA.

The 2010 leg of The Monster Ball Tour is presented by Virgin Mobile, and begins on June 28 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, QC. In all, there will be 31 shows across Canada and the U.S.

Part of Virgin Mobile Canada's new Members program is VIP access to events and concerts, so chances are we'll see more partnerships like this one with pop singer Lady Gaga.

Virgin Mobile Canada customers can find out how to get the pre-sale tickets by visiting the Members Lounge at www.virginmobile.ca/lounge.
