    a fight between beyonce and pearl jam lol. but they are first listed and the announcement does say headliner so. i kinda want PJ to go before beyonce so i don't have to see her..

    I just don't get this... when I saw The Who back in the day, I saw people leaving after The Clash... how does one not stay to check out The Who? Granted, Beyonce is no Who, but you paid the freight... why not have an open mind and check out a legend? I was at the GCF 2 years ago to catch Stevie, and I was impressed by Alicia Keys, Mayer and KOL, all of whom I never would have gone to see otherwise.
    Agreed, Beyonce might put on the best show of the night. After PJ of course. I dont listen to her but i saw some of her HBO special and she definitley knows how to put on a show. Jay-Z headlined the festival last year and Beyonce joined him for a couple of songs; I would expect the same (reverse) this year. I would put my money on her going last. I'm intrigued. She's also beautiful, so it's not hard on the eyes either.

    No alcohol except for 1. Details are on the VIP details page.

    I'm sure they do. VIP1 had an open-bar included so im sure VIP 2 and 3 will have access to alcohol. The website's fine print also mentioned having to be 21 or over to purchase alcohol at the event.

    It doesn't say no alcohol. It says open bar on vip1. People are wondering if there will be vendors selling alcohol in vip2 and vip3. The details page doesn't mention what will and won't be for sale. It just mentioned what you get included in your package.

    I think people are basing their assumptions on previous years where the only place you could purchase alcohol was the top tier VIP area.

    is this true? no alcohol was sold at all for the rest of the concert goers? That's hard to believe for a 7 hour show like this.

    yeah wow, past reviews say there was no alcohol. That really sucks and I guess its the byproduct of everyone being "penned" in for hours before the show and during, with no real easy egress, especially with everything first come first serve within the respective sections.

    I just checked stub hub to see what the market looks like, and there is a notice that says
    "stubhub will not be selling tickets to this event"
    Very cool!

    They have them on vivid seats. Ticketmaster you suck. Always have. Always will.

    That's not StubHub.

    Edit: See the VIP tickets on StubHub now. The FAQs on the Global Citizen website says they'll cancel all tickets they see being sold on the secondary market. Maybe that only pertains to the free ones?

    I refuse to give money to lil Irving Azoff and his ticketbastard monopoly unless absolutely necessary. I wonder if he is giving up any of his "fees" for the Global Initiative? not in this lifetime son.

    Just got tickets vip3, flying in from Texas. After reading this, is this a reality that no alcohol will be served??? 6 hours of talking and sub par music waiting on pj to play - dead sober? I was so excited all day, now I feel as if I have been ripped off!

    Looking to buy one or 2 VIP tickets if anyone that bought this morning has an extra or changed their minds about going (like maybe this guy, ^).

    Will certainly pay face, probably little over if necessary.

    Thanks all...
