International social platform Global Citizen has now explained the process....
Coldplay is finally making their way to India and as per reports, the international band will be performing in Mumbai on November 18. While everyone's trying to get their hands on a ticket to the concert, international social action platform Global Citizen has explained how the tickets can be 'earned'
Chris Martin, the brand ambassador of the charity was the first one to start the rumours of the concert. Celebrities like Aamir Khan, Farhan Akhtar, AR Rahman will also be present at the concert.
The tickets priced in the range of Rs 25000 to 1 lakh can now be earned for free, according to Global Citizen website. The first step would be to sign up on the website and download the application. Once that's done, you will have to 'earn' and claim your rewards through various actions. A similar process is being implemented at the Global Citizen's New York line-up which will take place on September 24 and will also have a segment hosted by our desi girl Priyanka Chopra.
You need 26 "actions" to get in."It's through doing something that you can capture and share on social media. For example, one of the actions this year is: take a photo of a book that has changed your life and tell world leaders why kids everywhere should read it," said Madge Thomas from Global Citizen.
Then according to Global Citzen website, here's how people in New York went about earning their tickets:
How do users win tickets through their participation?
Users win tickets to the festival through taking action to end extreme poverty. You can choose from a range of actions that earn you points. Once you earn 25 points from festival actions, you can enter the draw for festival tickets. Every two weeks we will announce ticket winners and launch a new campaign with a different challenge for global citizens to solve.
Do I have to register on global citizen in order to start earning points?
Yes, you have to register on globalcitizen.org in order to start earning points.
How does a user enter the lottery and when will they find out if they’ve won?
To enter the lottery for Festival tickets, users must take enough actions to earn 28 points, and then redeem them on the festival page for an entry into the draw. Winners will be informed via email when the draw is made.
Can I use my existing points to enter into the festival draw?
No. Only points earned through festival actions will be eligible for tickets. If you use existing points earned from previous action taking your entry will not be eligible. Make sure you complete festival actions and earn the necessary festival points to enter the draw.
What if I do not have a Twitter account? How do I take the tweet actions?
You will have to set up a twitter account in order to take the tweet actions.
How do I take the call action?
You will have to take the call action from your cell phone. To do this, you’ll need to login to globalcitizen.org on your phone and take the action from there.
What if the voice mailbox is full? Do I have to take the action again?
Yes! You will not get points for the action until it is complete.
How do you track the actions people take, especially actions such as calling a representative? How do you know someone has actually placed a call?
The actions are tracked through the Global Citizen online platform and mobile app. Once a participant takes an action, for example signing a petition, the points are registered to their Global Citizen profile. Through the mobile app, we are able to track, with the same technology, when a participant makes a call to their representative’s office.
