Everyone who comes to our website reads about issues going on around the world. But did you know that you could earn points from taking action on these issues, then redeem those points for a chance to win free concert tickets in your area?
Pretty awesome, right? All you have to do is visit Global Citizen Rewards, a page dedicated to rewarding global citizens for being part of the movement! Now, who doesn’t like that?
After every show, we like to check in with our winners to see how their show went and what they learned from visiting Global Citizen.
Here is your chance to meet four awesome individuals, and fellow global citizens. Check out what they’ve learned on Global Citizen and what shows they got to see for taking action!
Meet Tricia Guiao who won tickets to the One Direction show at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA on September 1st
Although Tricia was already familiar with the lack of clean drinking water in developing countries, Global Citizen helped “deepen [her] understanding by describing the related factors, key numerical figures, and world leaders who could play a critical role in settling these issues.”
Meet Lori who won tickets to the Sam Smith show at Toyota Center in Houston, TX on August 14th
Lori is a major supporter of women’s rights and equality, and is aware of “how the stats reflect higher poverty levels among women than men.” Lori thinks that because women are at a greater risk, that it “really makes a difference in people's perspectives and raises the question of how much I’m currently doing to change this, and if I’m doing anything at all.” The Global Citizen website allows Lori to stay informed in a “fun interactive way.”
Meet Whitney Cunningham who won tickets to the Brandi Carlile show at Britt Pavilion in Jacksonville, OR on September 13th
Whitney is enthusiastic about the importance of education, noting that “education is key, and although we don't yet have equal learning opportunities for everyone, I support your work in the effort to provide that.” She’s hopeful that “education and generosity of spirit will end poverty.”
Meet Emily Crandall! She won tickets to the Grace Potter show at Britt Pavilion in Jacksonville, OR on September 13th
One issue that resonated with Emily was the lack of food distribution.
On Global Citizen, she realized that “there is enough food for all, [though] some areas receive less than others. It’s a huge factor when it [comes to] dealing with world hunger.”
