Don't be fooled: The Who won't make a cent off their Detroit-area concert this fall.
The British rockers say all earnings from their Oct. 21 show at The Palace of Auburn Hills will go to Detroit charities Gleaners Community Food Bank and Focus: HOPE.
Lead singer Roger Daltrey said in a statement on the band's Web site that The Who have a soft spot for Detroit and know Michigan is facing tough economic times.
Tickets for the show starting at $39.50 went on sale Monday. Some tickets were still available Wednesday afternoon.
The Palace concert kicks off a nine-city North American tour. They will continue on to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Los Angeles.
