There's another kick at the can for hundreds of White Stripes fans who were left deflated after they were unable to get tickets for the coming Monday's concert.

The Yukon Arts Centre has released 12 more tickets that it will sell through a lottery Friday.

Those interested in putting their name forward are invited to contact the arts centre by e-mail.

Eric Epstein, the centre's artistic director, said today the names will be placed into a box and six winners will be drawn out.

The winners will receive two tickets each for the original $40 per ticket.

Epstein said it was decided to go the e-mail route to avoid the throng of committed fans who lined up in early May to for 366 tickets available at two box offices and over the phone.

Each person in line was permitted eight tickets, and all 366 tickets were snapped up in fewer than 12 minutes.

Epstein said the arts centre was advised to set the tickets aside in case an additional sound board was needed, which would have taken up 12 seats.

It turned out the sound board was not needed, and the tickets were released, he said.

The arts centre is asking for only one e-mail entry per person, and cautions that any multiple entres will result in the name being disqualified.

The White Stripes, renowned internationally for their blues-rock melodies, are beginning a cross-country tour Sunday in Burnaby, B.C., as part of a North American tour that began last Sunday in Manchester, Tenn, and moved to New York yesterday.

Whitehorse is just their second stop on the Canadian leg.

From Whitehorse, they will travel to Yellowknife for a Tuesday night gig in the Shorty Brown Multiplex Arena, They will then on to Iqaluit for a concert Wednesday in the Arctic Winter Games Arena.

The Canadian segment wraps up July 16 in St. John's with a performance at the Mile One Centre.

The tour will end Oct. 11 in Albuquerque, N.M.
