We are the main partner of this concert, which will be the only opportunity to see Kabát live this year," says Bohdan Tetiva, Director for Product Marketing and Loyalty programs, Telefónica O2, adding, "There are only 2,000 of these phones being sold, so fans should hurry."

The phone is available for CZK 3,795.

From August 1, there will also be a contest for 500 tickets to the concert. Simply visit www.o2extra.cz (Czech only), where contest codes are being presented.
