LOS ANGELES, CA - This is the story of former housemates picked to live together in an RV. Find out what happens when Real World people tour the real world...
The cast members of The Real World Philadelphia will embark on a 24-date road trip to college campuses and nightclubs for “ The Real World Across America Tour,” it was announced today by ES Promotions, the producers and promoters of the event, which rolls November 3 rd to December 12th.
Sponsored and presented by StudentCity.com, and booked by Central Entertainment Group, “The Real World Across America” features popular cast members Landon, Sarah, Willy and Shavonda from the current 15 th season of MTV's most watched television series. These Real World Philadelphia cast members recently signed with Dunlap & Berk for exclusive management representation.
While there have been other Real World tours, this is by far the strongest and most comprehensive.
Comments ES Promotions Producer & Director of Marketing Keith Rubuliak, “This tour appeals to average America , to people who watch the show. The Real World stars are already visiting cities and doing appearances, so we thought that by putting a little more structure and organization into it, and getting a really cool sponsor, it would make sense. There's huge commercial potential in this tour.”
According to recent Nielson Ratings episode four of the new Real World Philadelphia was ranked ninth out of all prime time cable television programs, watched by approximately 3.3 million viewers . The Real World shares the same company with and most often beats the ratings of such programs as The Newlyweds and The Osbournes .
Rubuliak explains, “People will have a chance to reach out and touch the people that they feel like they've gotten to know over the last couple of months. ‘The Real World Across America' is a revolutionary tour and a new, exciting chapter in what will be an ongoing annual tour featuring the most prominent cast members of the show.”
The cast members will travel by wrapped RV, visiting college campuses to sign autographs, hosting nightclub parties and guest bartending, conducting VIP meet-and-greets, and giving away StudentCity.com spring break vacation packages to Cancun , Mexico .
Rubuliak comments, “ES Promotions created a partnership with StudentCity.com, North America 's premiere student spring break package provider. They're doing a lot to help us out. They hooked us up with an amazing tour bus, and are providing the spring break vacations we're giving away in each city. They're allowing us the opportunity to roll out a tour that isn't just for shaking hands, but adds a lot more excitement.
“These are more than just appearances,” he continues. “We want to engage these Real World stars with the real world people in the audience. These are going to be great parties where people will not only get to meet the stars of The Real World , but will also find out more about StudentCity.com, and the affordable vacation packages they offer.” In addition, students attending any of “The Real World Across America” events will receive a $100 discount per room off StudentCity.com vacation packages.
Rubuliak points out, “What better an opportunity than to go to an event, meet the people and have a chance to win a trip?” Find out what happens...
