Brian Ching will host his All-Star Party at the House of Blues on July 28, immediately following the MLS All-Star Game at Houston’s Reliant Stadium. While there will be several VIPs in attendance, this event is open to the public! Ages 21 & up please.

All of the MLS All-Stars, Manchester United players, and Houston Dynamo players have been invited to the party. While there is a VIP section, those players in attendance will all be in the same room as everyone who purchased a general admission ticket. Former soccer greats Brandi Chastain, Alexi Lalas, John Harkes, and Eric Wynalda will also be in attendance.

The party will feature live music, dancing, a silent auction, raffle, drinks, celebrities, athletes from other sports, a souvenir stand, and much more. Also Houston Dynamo players will serve as guest bartenders. Doors will open at 9 p.m. and the party will last until 2 a.m.

There are three ticket options: (1) General admission for $20, (2) General admission plus a Brian Ching scarf for $25, and (3) VIP ticket for $100. A VIP ticket includes access to VIP areas, Meet & Greet opportunities with the players, light appetizers, and a limited edition numbered & autographed Brian Ching gift. Tickets can be purchased by clicking http://www.livenation.com/event/0C0044D8B4867036?artistid=1461112&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=52

A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit The House that Ching Built. Last December, Ching announced that he would raise $75,000 to build a home for a hard-working, deserving family in Houston. Working with Houston Habitat for Humanity and Dynamo Charities, Ching has currently raised $56,000. The construction of the house will begin in October 2010.
