The Global Citizen Festival 2015

JimmyV · July 2015

My point total has crawled up to ten. If that ain't enough I'm probably not getting tickets.

This was the 2012 rough schedule per an email from them if youre curious for the layout of the festival:

We've recently received a lot of requests for the set times for the artists donating their time at the Global Citizen Festival this Saturday. We hear you.
At 5 PM the show will begin with an amazing performance from Somali-Canadian hip hop star K'Naan, followed by rockers Band of Horses. After them, The Black Keys will take the stage at around 6 PM. At just before 7, Foo Fighters will use their music to call for action against extreme poverty, and after 8 PM Neil Young with Crazy Horse will do what they do best: raise awareness and help fight injustice with their timeless, classic-studded set.

Celebrity hosts and world leaders will be there throughout the day. The world's leading charities will celebrate new commitments to combating extreme poverty. Trust us, you don't want to miss a single moment. Gates are at 2 PM, surprises start at 5. We expect a line to start building over night, and If you arrive early you'll get closest to the stage. We'll see you in the park!

5pm - KNanaan

5:30 - Band of Horses

6pm - Black Keys

7pm - Foo Fighters

8pm - Neil Young

9pm- Close

Why would you need to f5? Isn't it a lottery?

Yes, but you also have a chance to buy the tickets.

What is the difference between "Buy Now" and "Prize Draw" tickets?

At the discretion of artists and the Global Citizen team, Global Citizen Tickets ticket pairs are available to users by either a prize draw or a ‘buy now’ function.

Buy Now: Select ticket pairs will be available through GlobalCitizen.org at a set rate. For these ticket pairs, the first user to ‘purchase’ a given set will be the winner of that item. Generally, the prices for “Buy Now” tickets are far higher than the fee for entering a prize draw. Prices are set using an economic model that powers Global Citizen’s point economy. Note that ‘Buy Now’ denotes ‘buying’ only through the use of points earned on GlobalCitizen.org.

Prize Draw: The majority of ticket winners will be selected through a prize draw. A random drawing among those Global Citizens who have entered prize draw will take place approximately one month before the date of the event (sometimes sooner if we get last minute access to ticekts), 2 - 4 days from the closing date on the ticket draw.

Any guess on the number of "buy" points that you'll need?

So you buy with points (which would be higher than the lottery) or money?

URthekey · July 2015

Judging by some of the other artist that currently have shows listed you need about 30 points to enter a ticket drawing.

samjam · July 2015

I wouldn't worry about the 'Buy Now' thing (unless you happen to be at the right place at the right time!), most everyone who enters the regular lotteries for festival tickets gets it, as there are so many tickets that are given away. Also always lots of extras floating around. Last year it was 8 points to enter the drawing, and you could enter up to 6 times. They do draws on multiple dates and it carries over if you don't win.

So maybe if you're the lucky lucky one who gets 'Buy Now' it would be like 20 points?

why would i buy something that will be free and easily attainable?

To be in an area much closer to the stage

smital · July 2015

The "Buy Now" option remains up from previous years I imagine. And to the above, it isn't a monetary purchase, it is a points purchase.

I think there is a big chance we get Ed solo shows this year with GC offering tickets through a lottery. Especially because there is a Vedder heading on this website under future tour dates. But I don't think he's going to play the festival by himself. It will be the whole band.

Was this just put up on the GC site?
If so then I bet it is for EV solo tour that will be announced.
If not, then probably something they offered in the past.
I am still holding out hope for some full band shows.

Being announced this Thursday ...

Beyonce is going to perform at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival, which will be held on September 26 on the Great Lawn in New York City. The singer will perform alongside Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and Pearl Jam. The news is supposed to be announced on Thursday so we'll have to wait until then for the official confirmation.

Sweet! See you all there

derbydave · July 2015

If this is the Global Citizen Festival line-up...I'll have to think about it!!
Would depend on other NA shows.
Sure hope the rumors about MSG are true!!
