no luck in round #2... starting to get a little nervous since I already booked flights.

Don't worry. You'll get in.

The bulk of the free tickets haven't been awarded yet.

And you've got friends.

Thanks, man....
That makes me feel better.
But when I think of all the people that entered and how HUGE NYC alone is... I start to get a little nervous. I am sure half the entries probably came from us crazy PJ fans.

positive thoughts, positive thoughts.

They are giving away 48,000 tickets.

So far, they have doled out only 7,500 tickets, leaving 40,500 tickets available for future drawings.

You're in, man. You're in.

If I get tickets, I'm almost positive I'll have an extra. This sort of festival isn't really my wife's thing. And many others who win will be in a similar situation.

MSG tickets were much easier to get. Geez.

my2hands

after the initial rush of interest, and people securing tickets, I assume people/entries will fade with each passing drawing

I'm not worried

I put in for 4 Jimmy Fallon tickets for FRI 9/25 the instant they were available last Thursday 8/16 11:00am. If I get them and have extras will trade for GAs.

I just want to see Jimmy - if PJ it there cool, if not, I just want to take my wife to the Tonight Show when we are in NYC for the first time.

how is it that stubhub can now scalp regular GA tix that were given away free. they had a message on their site syaing at first "no ticket sales whatsoever" for the event, then they said only the vip tickets that were sold on ticketmaster would be scalped and now theyre selling regular GA tickets for 500 bucks? absurd..

I'd really like to know what the deal is here too.

Stubhub is a bulletin board, anybody can list any ticket for any price to any show.
GA is gone now, they've pulled them.

It was technically impossible to list regular ga until this week. Stubhub has to "turn on that section" per se to let people list them. Something Is stinky with this all

Incorrect. You can list tickets for the event and key in anything you want in the "Section" field, Like GA or General Admission or whatever you want. In the "Row" field you are limited to 5 characters, like GA. If reported Stubhub will remove the listing if it's something against their policy, but you can list anything you want.

I'm still searching for 2 VIP Tickets, if anyone hears anything, I would greatly appreciate it. My wife and already have the flight, just looking to get in! Thanks!

If PJ isn't on last, you'll need to weigh the chance to beat the crowd out against the chance of potentially missing them take part in the finale. Getting out early may indeed win out but there is the chance you will miss something.

Nothing says legendary like Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran and Beyonce butcher people have the power or rocking in the free world.

If Pearl Jam goes on last that is exactly what their encore will be.

I disagree with dtr0624, I've see pj about 15 times and I really enjoyed the pj and jay z colab it was something new and unique. If your not a fan of jay z then I can understand not liking it but I grew up listing to rap and rock I enjoy all forms of music. Seeing Pearl jam perform betterman or alive is cool but I can't tell you the difference between the first time I've heard it or the 13 th, I'll never see 99 problems performed live by pj ever again and that experience will be something I remember forever.

While I'm not a huge fan of Jay Z, that collaboration was a pretty unique and likely one time only thing.

Would I have preferred to hear one of my favorite PJ tunes? Sure, but I'll take 99 Problems over an original I've already seen them play 8+ times. (Honestly, if I had a choice between seeing PJ play Last Kiss [again] or playing an original Beyoncé tune with her singing............ I would probably take the collaboration!)

This article says that the show will be on live tv yet I can't find any info on Directv. Anyone know if it's going to be on television? http://loudwire.com/pearl-jam-2015-global-citizen-festival/
