    I was at the GCF the past two years. Stevie Wonder played for nearly 90 minutes and Neil played for about 75. Pearl Jam will play a 90 minute set.

    POP POP!

    It seems like PJ is closing it out which surprises me. I hope so. I've been to all three and I'm pretty sure the closer will get a little more time. Even 15 more minutes is gravy!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Hope so, but I'm not banking on that until they show set times. I now this is a PJ board and many here may not understand or agree with this, but Beyonce is arguably the biggest act in the world right now.

    Unfortunately, you are correct.
    Does anyone remember when they posted the set times for previous years?
    Need to know if I am going to drive 10 hours for a 10 song set.

    So im confused the only way to get the free tickets is doing the action journeys? And the points I got last week don't factor in?

    I thought in past years you could use the points you earned for multiple entries?

    I'm driving 8 hours to get there and preparing to pony up the $175 for a VIP ticket. The way I look at it: it's NYC so a portion of the VIP ticket is a premium I'm paying to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the city for a few hours before showtime. I love NYC, I love the drive there, and love walking the city so I look at it as an overall experience rather than a "shorter than normal PJ set."
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    agreed about NYC and I will still hold out hope for a stand alone show at MSG....
    until that hope gets dashed with tomorrow's announcement. :bawling:

    The amount of half baked thoughts in this thread is mind numbing. "Pearl Jam is the least known band playing" "Wouldn't be surprised to see them play first" "10 songs" "sad to see Rolling Stone & GCF post this before Pearl Jam". Are you fans for real?

    Can't wait to be in Central Park for this and look forward to all the acts playing a FREE show on the beautiful great lawn!

    POP POP!

    Participate in the activism, it is for a good cause and important to bring social awareness to many of the issues raised by Global Citizen. Tickets will be readily available through the lottery and outside of Central Park. Worry not and come ready to have a good time!

    I think it's safe to assume they close based on the layout of the announcement

    I'm also thinking/hoping maybe they get 2 hours because the lineup is a bit smaller than years past
