Both of the Dixie Chicks concerts at the Minnesota State Fair this weekend are sold out. But there is one way you can score tickets to the second show (Saturday) – and get to meet lead singer Natalie Maines.

The activist singer is auctioning off a pair of VIP tickets (including meeting her) to raise money for Proclaim Justice, a non-profit organization that tries to win freedom for people who are wrongfully convicted.

Right now, the bid is at $1,000. A bid of $5,000 seals the deal. Otherwise, the highest bidder triumphs. A Dixie Chicks swag bag is included.
