Freebird Live, Jacksonville, Fla.

For the Australian visit by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Nov. 7-15, fans will decide which six cities the band plays.

Fans go to RedJumpsuit.GiggedIn.com and pledge to buy a ticket. The six cities with the highest number of pledges “win.”

Fans are charged if only their city wins.

Aside from five capital cities, the other 13 choices include the Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Canberra and Newcastle.
