    Has anyone done vip at this festival in the past, i know its generally a shorter show but curious about the 3 levels of vip that they usually have, my girlfriend wants to do that and its hard to convince her otherwise so just looking to see if i can find anyone that has done it in the past.

    Could it be a Pearl Jam NYC show or two before / after their Global Citizen Festival event? To travel all the way to NYC for just a 50 minute set? There has to be more PJ jams then this.

    I did Ultimate VIP for the first one with Black Keys and Foo Fighters and it was one of the best concert experiences I have ever had. Tickets were expensive (I think $700-800 apiece) but it was incredible.

    Everything in the world points to global citizen... except you my friend, what is your scoop?

    Obviously this announcement could be for a concert or 2 before or after... but I think it looks safe to assume global citizen festival is happening? no?

    Someone needs to take this bet.

    I'm surprised people are so jazzed up about this. There will be like 100,000 people there, Pearl Jam will play 90 minutes tops (headliners usually play about 12-14 songs) and it will be nothing but greatest hits.

    No rumors about a warmup or arena show around this?

    How does one go about tickets? So from what I have seen is you sign some petitions and other activities and you gain points. Does everyone who meets the points requirements get a ticket? Some posts on here made it seem like it was a drawing for the people that have the points. And do you need to get the points be a certain date?

    So we have the usual guy 'in the know' who pipes up with a reliable source, who gives zero information, or offers no other information other than my 'reliable source'

    its a pure coincidence that the announcement for the line up to Global is 6 days away, this advance notice bears the NYC subway sign, and the suggestion they are playing this festival has been reported for some 4-6 months already.

    It would be cool if there was substance in this 'reliable source' however without any details its hardly worth even mentioning, rather a case of 'look what I know' style teaser. If it is indeed correct that would only lead to a few MSG shows being a possibility which would be immense, but Id say the Global festival participation looks absolutely nailed on

    My bet it's Global fest and a few NYC shows leading up to it. But, I have no "reliable source". Like someone said, are they going to travel across the country for an hour or so set? 3-4 night stand at MSG is long overdue anyway

    I was told last year from a pretty reliable source that PJ will headline Global. FYI, Neil Young played for 2 hours when he did Global. Also, just so your aware. Getting enough points does not guarantee you tix. You are put into a lottery drawing for the tix once you earned enough points.

    Band of Horses played for about 20 mins.
    A rapper from Africa played about 20 minutes
    John legend did 1 song.
    Black Keys played 48 mins
    Foos played 50 mins
    Neil Young played 70 mins.

    In between each set, there were people speaking about Global Issues such as poverty.
    Also note, no alcohol is sold/permitted. You are searched by tight security as you enter.

    I don't have Lost Dogs on vinyl so I'll put up the cash for an unsealed copy against your Avocado vinyl as described and when I win you can send the Avocado vinyl to ElwayVedder for his charity auction with a tracking number provided, you game?
