    Nah, I think they're being smart about it. 1/2 of attendees enter through one entrance, 1/2 the other. Just personally it's going to be annoying having to separate from friends to take a different subway and enter through another entrance, then have to find them again on the Great Lawn.
    It's a long-shot, but perhaps ask them if your friend could have his/her tickets exchanged for the other side's entrance? If they have the ability to do this, I couldn't conceive of any reason they wouldn't be willing.

    Might be a good idea. I'll probably ask for my pair to be switched to West, as that works better subway wise than her pair being switched for East. But if not, I did read that tickets are transferrable, so maybe switch with someone who has West tickets and wouldn't care. Oh well, we'll figure it out. More of just an inconvenience!

    Yeah that does sound sucky.. A whole different subway?! Cant you just walk around?
    So far my friends and I all have West entrance.. guess i didn't realize how big of a deal that was.

    Yep, as it's two different sides of Manhattan...on the West side you'd be taking the B or C train to get closest, on the East side closest train is the 6. It'll all work out, definitely not the end of the world. Just an inconvenience!

    maybe it is just so they can keep track and ease traffic? I would imagine it is like goign to an arena or stadium where it says, enter through this gate but it doesn't really matter. I can't see them turning you away at the west gate because your ticket says east.

    Im saying Im not going to drive into Upper Manhattan.

    And central Park is next to the Upper East Side of Manhattan Island so Central Park is in Upper Manhattan.. Am I missing something? :?

    The park is actually right in the middle of the island. "Upper East" and "Upper West" aren't really literal. It's just that there is not really anything of interest above the park so the perspective is skewed.

    Anyway, yeah, why would you drive?

    We just had to CLAIM the tickets by 11:59 tomorrow, right? As in we can print them out whenever, as long as they've been claimed by the said date?
