PEARL JAM JOINS GLOBAL CITIZEN TICKETS INITIATIVE

Announced today, Pearl Jam has joined the Global Citizen Tickets Initiative, a new program designed to incentivize social activism with concert tickets. Fans can now take a variety of actions to end extreme poverty, like signing petitions and calling their representatives to earn points. The points are then applied to win free tickets to see bands like Pearl Jam in concert. 

“Pearl Jam is very grateful to be part of such an innovative and generous group of artists and music business leaders participating in this project. We are particularly thankful to our manager Kelly Curtis for spearheading this thoughtful strategy. It reflects the DNA of our band and business, and expands it to respond to some of the greatest inequities and challenges facing humanity." -Stone Gossard.

Over 1.2 billion people currently live in extreme poverty throughout the world, it's time we all take a stand together. Join Pearl Jam and 70 other artists, register today to take action and begin earning points for your chance to win tickets to shows this year.
