Ron White Invites Fans to Join The Rontourage; New Site Brings Fans Dedicated Content, Prime Tickets, Chance to Party With Famed Comic
Comedian's Followers Get VIP Treatment Online With Prime Tickets, Backstage Videos, Contests to Win Ride on Tour Jet or Share Pre-Show Scotch/Stogie With the Man
LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As anyone familiar with his uproarious, often salty stand-up routines knows, Ron White hasn't strayed far from his blue-collar roots - despite being one of the planet's most in-demand comics. He may tour in a jet ("Tater Air,") but he never misses a chance to remind fans that they bought it for him. And with his new fan site, The Rontourage, he's even giving his dedicated audience a chance to win a trip on that jet.
The contest for that very classy bit of travel is but one of many premiums to be found on The Rontourage. Designed to give White's most ardent admirers a VIP "backstage" experience, the site provides access to prime ticket pre-sales; dedicated video of the dapper Texan's decidedly colorful adventures on the road; White's messages and answers to fan questions; special merchandise offers; and plenty more.
Fans will be particularly excited about the monthly contests, which - in addition to extending a spot on that jet - will give lucky ticketholders a chance to share a cocktail and a cigar with White before a show or hang out with him at VIP parties, meet-and-greets and other events.
"I want my fans to feel like we're always in touch," White says. "Because without 'em I wouldn't be able to do any of this. Think of The Rontourage as the Ron White Channel, where you can see us getting into trouble in all kinds of different places."
"Let's face it," White adds, "a lot of my material comes from the stuff that happens to me on the road. With these videos we have a chance to show people where the jokes are born."
The native of Fritch, Texas, has garnered two Grammy nominations and achieved 10-times-platinum status for sales of his CDs and DVD's including "You Can't Fix Stupid," "They Call Me Tater Salad" and "Behavioral Problems." He has also been a fixture of the wildly successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour and has had two "Ron White's Comedy Salute To The Troops" CMT specials, the latest airing on July 1, 2012.
Fans can sign up for The Rontourage at http://www.tatersalad.com, enabling them to view weekly "reality show" style content, win pre-show drinks, even a ride on Ron's private jet! Members will also have access to special merchandise offers and a chance to snag the best seats for White's shows before they sell out!
