Explain to me please....

SPEEDY MCCREADY

What exactly it is that you people here have been up to, in regards to tickets for Central Park.
I realize I could go on the Global Citizens website, and probably figure it out, but I also realize that someone here can explain it to me in a matter of seconds.

You folks have been signing petitions? What kind of petitions?
You are earning points? What do those points entitle you to?
Im serious here. I have no idea what this is all about.
Please explain. I would appreciate it.

It's easy. Nothing takes more than a few keystrokes. Signing a petition involves clicking a button. Tweeting another button. Sending an email another button. There are eight things they want you to do for the first drawing and it takes less than five minutes from start to finish.

If you don't get the hang of it, I'm sure you'll have no problem being someone from here's +1. And wifey could be someone else's.

it took me about three minutes to do everything and secure an entry. not hard at all.

There are some informational videos about causes too. You get points just for watching them.

So the more points I build up, the better my chances of getting a ticket?
Is that how it works?

They don't all give points for sharing. It has to specifically say that it will give however many points if you share it.

Tweeting is 3 of the Actions that you have to do to enter the first drawing.
when press the button, and go to twitter my tweets appear but when I go back the GC site, it doesn't say "Action Completed".
I am just wondering what I am doing wrong?
I have added #GlobalCitizen and now follow them.... just can't figure this out.

It didn't for me at first either. I deleted all three tweets and then retweeted. Then it worked.

That might be it too. My problems were through the phone but then things worked from my laptop.

go here: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/rewards/action-journey-number-1/

sign up/create an account

click the first box that says tweet now

go through all of them by clicking the "next action" thing and do the final one from your cell phone.

That's it. Once you do all of them you have your entry. This is a difference process than it has been in previous years.

So...are people who don't use / have Twitter simply shit out of luck?

That was my next question.

Because I refuse to tweet, does that mean I get twat?

nothinasitseems

pretty much. states on the FAQ you have to make an account.

lolobugg

yeah, I just made a dummy account to use for this. have no desire to be on Twitter

So, VIP tickets go on sale tomorrow morning. Eligible 10C members were sent a code to use for VIP 2 and VIP 3, but VIP 1 does not require a code and is very limited.....right?

Creat a Twitter account and tweet it to no one. That s what I did.

I do in fact have a twitter but I also made a dummy account to use for Global Citizen (back in 2012)

Since this year it's not AS tweet-heavy as it was in the past, I just used my regular twitter account and then deleted the tweets afterward.

Why is everyone so dead set against spreading messages from Global Citizen?? I hate to see that the entire point of this is being completely lost on so many people.

Im thinking 99% of the Pearl Jam fans on this board, truly don't give a rats ass about any messages that Global Citizen is trying to spread. They want their tickets, preferably in the 1st 10 rows, and that's all that matters. I can name you 10-15 folks here, who have been building up points, 24 hours a day, without ever once even reading the petitions they are signing. Hahahaha

They'd rather complain about the lottery and seniority.

Well that really fucking sucks. I think that's an asshole thing to do. I don't know why I'm surprised, but..... bah.
