Yes thanks I actually just got an email from them after I posted that lol
We’re just days away from the 2015 Global Citizen Festival - In 48 hours we’ll be rocking out with Pearl Jam, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Coldplay!
Before that happens though, there’s some really important stuff that you have to know.
This email is long but make sure you read all of it - we want you to have the best time possible!
1) FIRST OFF, GATES OPEN AT 2PM and entertainment starts at 3 with Hugh Jackman, Stephen Colbert and Coldplay opening the show - remember to bring your printed ticket.
2) Trust us, you’ll really want to get there early. If there’s one thing we hear from attendees every year, it’s that they wished they got there sooner. There’s also going to be increased security this year because of the foreign leaders who'll be in attendance. If you wait till 3 to show up, you’re going to get stuck waiting in line for a while.
3) To sweeten the deal, if you get on the lawn by 2:30pm you’ll have a chance to win some AWESOME prizes! Global Citizen staff will be scattered through the crowd right when the doors open giving out VIP upgrades, meet and greets with some of our artists, and a ton of Global Citizen Festival swag. The earlier you get there, the better your chance is to win!
4) Remember to check the list of allowed and prohibited items (below and printed on your ticket). There are a bunch of things that you might not think about (i.e. no backpacks are allowed into the park) so be sure to read it all the way through.
5) Your ticket will specify either east or west gate. The General Admission entrance to the park is East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue, or West 72nd Street and Central Park West. For General Admission ticket holders, please look at the bottom left corner of your ticket for your assigned gate entrance.
6) The ADA-Accessible Entrance is at East 84th and Fifth Avenue.
7) And to remember the show forever and get all of this year’s swag, you can purchase the Global Citizen Merch from http://store.globalcitizen.org.
The feeling right now at Global Citizen HQ is electric. Saturday’s gonna be an awesome day, so take the time now to prepare.
Can’t wait to see you in the Park,
Tom & the Global Citizen Team

VP Biden and First Lady Obama at GCF. Get ready for a security headache.
Oy, that should slow things down. Hopefully not by too much, though. In years' past its just been regular security, they'll probably have to add metal detectors now. But once passed crazy security, gotta say I'll definitely be excited to see them speak!

This is important for anyone using the East Gate entrance! Brooklyn bound 6 trains will NOT be stopping at 68th st NOR 77th st. What this means for you:
If you are coming from NORTH of the entrance you have to get off at 86th & walk. If you are coming from SOUTH of the entrance you are ok GOING to the park, but AFTER the show you'll have to walk to 86th.

Yea that's why I made the thread but I figured this part in particular needs to be seen by everyone who is going to be there.
If I may say-- I want all of you to enjoy yourselves. Drink in the experience. Focus on the positive. Band together. Remember why this is actually happening.
Going to be watching this live stream. So happy for all who are going!
On2legs had a schedule. (If I remember the username right.) Reliable source. That one isn't one you would like to utilize? All of the press except from whatever the Daily News is states (and even this website) that they are headlining. Even announced on Colbert last night.
The first year Neil young was the headliner. I look forward to all the kids leaving after Beyonce so I can get closer for Pearl Jam.
I'm not sure if that'll be possible. The rumor is that the GA section will be divided into "pens." The earlier you get there, the closer you'll be. Once a pen fills up, they go to the next one. If/when a pen gets half-empty, it will not be re-filled.
Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"
From today's Daily News: "The festival will be headlined by Beyoncé, and will feature performances by Pearl Jam, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay."
I'm guessing that since most newspapers fired their factchecking desks in the early aughts this is BS.
For whatever it's worth, Beyonce and PJ are both headlining. On Colbert's show the other day, he introduced PJ as the concert's headliner.

The last few years lots of people left before headliner. you can def move up in your "pen". Getting into the pen in front of you is another story. Security is tight.
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
The only thing I'm brining that I'm slightly worried about being able to get in is my vaporizer, but I mean, if I'm allowed to bring it into NFL games I can't believe it's gonna be a problem. Just gonna make sure it's clean as a whistle on the way in, and I'm almost positive they can't say or do shit.
'I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine.'
So I've got a question. You know how they say if you want to sit with friends then you all need to enter together? So what if your ticket says East Gate and your friend's ticket says West gate?

You can enter the same gate with your friend, they pen you off in sections and you will not be able to find your friend.

That doesn't mean it's LIVE... Concert is supposed to end at 10p... They will replay an edited version at 9:15p is my guess... I say the 8:20p - 10p slot makes the most sense...

Seriously, what kind of event provides zero schedule? lol
2016: Lexington and Wrigley 1
I would go with Global Citizen's poster, which has PJ listed first, and that has been the headliner in the past.
