Date: Sept. 26, 12 - 10 p.m.
On Sept. 26, the Global Citizen Festival featuring Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, Pearl Jam and Coldplay will take place on the Great Lawn in Central Park. The free concert will coincide with the launch of the United Nations' New Global Goals (aimed to end poverty by 2030), so while most tickets are free, concert-goers needed to take "action" to earn their tickets. Taking "action" meant signing meaningful petitions, contacting elected officials and world leaders through letters or phone calls about world issues, and much more. If you weren't able to take action and enter for a chance to get tickets prior to the cut-off dates, check out the VIP Tickets section online, or stroll by Central Park the night of the concert and you'll be sure to hear the music.
