Stars like Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, One Direction and Beyonce have signed up to a scheme to give out concert tickets in exchange for social activism.
The Global Citizen project issues points for its members for doing things like signing a petition, sharing a video via Facebook, or contacting politicians about issues affecting the world's poor.
Points can then be used to enter ticket lotteries, with the winners receiving guest list tickets in the areas usually reserved for the press and other competition winners.
The acts involved have promised two tickets for each of their shows for the next three years, according to Rolling Stone.
Rihanna, Neil Young, Black Sabbath and Tony Bennett are among some of the other musicians who have pledged their support.
The scheme was thought up by Pearl Jam's manager Kelly Curtis and the chief executive of the Global Poverty project, Hugh Evans, who also put on a fundraising festival in New York's Central Park last summer.
Dozens of record label music executives and managers have also given their support to the tickets initiative.
Global Citizen says it aims to fight poverty by tackling issues such as food and hunger, primary education, gender equality, child mortality and corruption.
