What annoys me is i emailed Global Citizen for vip 1 prices and they wouldnt tell me, they just said it will appear when the on sale starts. I think thats pretty shitty especially considering how much it will be I was just curious how much more it really is even though I have an idea based off previous years

They do that on purpose. They are attempting to figure out what the demand will be so they can price accordingly. The first year the VIP1 started out at $400 which was a ridiculous steal and by the week of the event they had it up to $1500. Given the lineup this time, i can't see it being cheap but I have no idea.
holy shit, they moved mexico out of north america?!!!
Haha...good point. I'm just going off the announcement.
We are excited to announce Pearl Jam will headline the Global Citizen Festival in New York City’s historic Central Park on September 26th. It will be the band’s only North American show date for all of 2015.
i wasnt having a dig at you.. its ironic pearl jam is urging us to become "global citizens" while not even knowing mexico is in north america too
it's ironic or just a simple mistake? Some of you really do love to complain or point out something wrong.
You really don't see the irony in saying "global citizen" 12 times and then not considering Mexico in North America?

That is pretty lame It's been a few years so you think they'd have it figured out by now It's 15 hours away til on sale and they can't announce the prices?

I'm curious as to whether VIP 1 is worth it---open bar plus some food and slightly closer to the stage.....Anyone been there on VIP 1?

I had VIP1 for the first show and I loved it but it's a matter of what you want and whether you want to pay for it. I liked having access to the food and bar and the private bathrooms.

I don't know how they will do it for this particular act especially since all the tickets are GA but Ticketmaster uses "dynamic pricing" on the Platinum tickets. I tried to buy Platinum for a Coldplay show once and they had 2nd row tickets listed for $400. I attempted to purchase those tickets and after a long wait I was taken to a purchase screen and while trying to complete the sale, the transaction timed out. When I went back to the purchase screen I saw the seats were gone so I just assumed they were purchased by someone else. 15 minutes later, the seats were listed back up but were $550 a seat now. If you read their fine print, there is something about pricing can be adjusted based on demand.
Just saw this on their FAQ. Not so worried about meeting up, but just seems like there is limited movement once you are inside.
If I arrive at the Festival a few hours after my friends and want to meet up with them, will this be difficult?
Yes. We strongly suggest arriving at the Festival with the person/people whom you would like to sit with. This is a 60,000-person general admission event. Attendees will be sectioned off in pens on the Great Lawn according to their time of arrival and will not be able to move between pens. If you would like to attend the show with friends, please meet them outside the park and enter together.
It's killing me that PJ will be a short subway ride away and I'm not going to see them. I'm getting claustrophobia just looking at the photo of the crowd, LOL! Maybe Ed will do a solo show while he's here?

Yes yes yes. If you want to be with friends go in with them. There is no access to the West side and East side once you go in. There is a big isle up the middle and most the of staff and security will not let you pass over to the other side. You go into a fenced "pen" that as a set of vendors and bathrooms. This is where you will live for the day. Once you go out you most likely will not get back into the same pen. If you look at an aerial view you can see the fences. They look like huge areas and they are but people arrive in droves and it fills up very fast. Our friend came in at 5 one year and was all the way in the last back pen and we didn't see him until Neil was almost over (so many people had left by then he was able to move up). Your movement is VERY limited.
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
I might decide to show up at the park and listen from the sides or back. It's a big park!
If it's anything like previous concerts in Central Park that I've been to, the ticket checkpoints are so far from the great lawn that doing that might be tough.
