Anyone who has followed Jay Z knows that there is nothing more near and dear to his heart than his beloved hometown of New York.  Hov has given back time and again to the city that raised him and now the city is giving back by welcoming him to one of its most esteemed venues, the legendary Carnegie Hall.

In one of Jay’s typical grand gestures, proceeds from the performance will go to the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.  Two shows will take place on February 6, 2012 at 8:00pm and February 7, 2012 at 9:30pm.   Private packages of Jay Z Carnegie Hall tickets will go on sale Monday, December 12th through www.unitedwaynyc.org or www.shawncartersf.com.

A limited number of single Jay Z Carnegie Hall tickets will go on sale Monday, January 30th, 2012 at 11:00 AM (EST) via the Carnegie Hall Box Office.
