Don’t know if you’ll be able to #shOwup to the 2016 Global Citizen Festival in New York City this September? Well, Global Citizen Rewards has a ton more concert tickets to give away. In the past, more than 275 of your favorite artists and comedians across the globe have participated in our rewards program.

Here’s all you need to know about the program.

Global Citizen Rewards sprouted from an initiative back in 2013 between Kelly Curtis, Manager for Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam, and Global Poverty Project CEO, Hugh Evans. The idea was to bring people together for social change and in return reward them with music.

Now, artists donate two tickets to Global Citizen from their own comedy shows, concerts, and festivals located all over the world. These artists generously continue the movement by encouraging global citizens to take action toward systemic change. 

How does it work?

First, global citizens earn points by taking actions on GlobalCitizen.org. These points can then be used to enter drawings for tickets to shows around the world. The best part is: it only takes two minutes! No, we’re not kidding … Do you have five points in your account? Try it here.

If you’re not near one of our Rewards shows, let your friends there know. You can get more points by referring friends.

Who can you enter to see?

Amy Schumer, Coldplay, The Lumineers, Leon Bridges, Slightly Stoopid, Dixie Chicks, Life in Color, Jim Gaffigan, Halsey, Ben Harper, The Band Perry, Train, Ziggy Marley, Black Sabbath, The Meadows Festival... To name a few.

Music is a uniting force capable of crossing borders and erasing the barriers that set us apart. If you haven’t already, join the movement by taking action, earning points, and cashing them in to see your favorite artists perform live all year round!

Check out some of our past ticket winners who were excited to share how Global Citizen Rewards helped them rock out to their favorite artists – in return for taking action to help solve the world’s biggest challenges.


By taking action on Global Citizen, you will have a chance to win tickets to this year's in New York City on Sept. 24, 2016.
