Walnut Creek gets a new sponsor

Just in time for the new season to begin, Walnut Creek has inked a deal with Time Warner Cable for sponsorship.

This doesn't actually effect concertgoers, except that now after you buy your tickets at the Hardees Thickburger Box Office (not a joke) and sit on the John Deere Lawn (also not joking), you can enjoy for $5 beer and $7 shitty nachos in the Time Warner Cable Superfast Roadrunner High Speed Internet Gold Circle Concession Area.

The agreement made between Time Warner, LiveNation and the City of Raleigh lasts 5 years with a 2 year renewal option.

As part of the agreement, Time Warner customers will gain "exclusive perks" in the future, such as advance ticket sales. The TV giant will also record select shows to later broadcast on their Carolina On Demand Channel.
