    It's the fucking city that never sleeps.............. fuck a 10pm curfew

    I hear ya but it's Central Park. Park is supposed to close at sundown. I don't think the curfew is so much about noise rather it's about safety. 60,000 people wandering through the dark woods is not a great idea.
    The city is probably the safest it has been in decades. Mire likely, the wealthy and powerful living nearby don't want too much disturbace after their bedtime :)
    Especially so this weekend with the Pope in town Friday and entire UN in session. I think we're all lucky the Pope is leaving before Saturday.

    What time are you nuts planning on starting to queue? You think 11am is too late to get into 1st pen in GA?

    I plan to get there way earlier than that. But that's just because I'm really a nut that wants that rail. It's whatever preference you have. But I haven't been to GCF in the past, so I don't know what time to make first pen

    Shouldve held the festival in New Orleans. Most shows dont START until 10pm.

    Except for jazz fest which ENDS at 8 pm
    Thats so the performers can rest and eat for their midnight shows!

    Does anyone know where the queueing is? Is it on the street or in the park? My buddy can't get there till later but i'm down with getting there early. You think we will be able to meet up before going in?

    Tickets are available for print through Ticketmaster now. Just got mine.
    I can't attach a photo for some reason but it essentially lists everything the website says is prohibited.

    I'm sure it's been brought up a few times, sorry to repeat, but does anyone know for sure that the only section with alcohol is vip1? Also, with that many people going in, how tough are they searching each person? Thanks in advance!

    Do you have to enter the GA gate on the ticket? My two tickets say East GA Entrance but the people we are going with have West GA Entrance on their tickets. Any problem entering either gate?

    If you arrive at very different times say 1h30, you will most likely end up in different pens. Two years ago, we arrived an hour earlier than the rest of the group and ended up a pen closer to stage than them.

    yes only vip1
    vip1 gets you access to a tent where they have an open bar
    there are no for sale alcohol stands anywhere
    and you can only get in that vip tent if you have vip1 credentials

    i believe the people who have access to the tent can only drink booze in the tent and cant bing them back to the concert area

    Anyone attending this with their kids? Taking my son to his first show. Want to get there early and get a good spot, but know that we'll be taking the necessary breaks together and getting it back may not be possible. If anyone wants to try and meet up so we could trade off for those sorts of things let me know!

    Don't know if this has been posted, but got an e-mail and saw an FB post saying:

    "PSSST! This just in: Doors to the Global Citizen Festival will open as soon as there's enough people in the park! Get there between 12-2 to be the first one in."
    "Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith."

    PM. Doors were originally 2PM, but I guess now they are going to open the park early if there are a ton of people waiting.

    I'm taking my girlfriend with me to GCF and have a few questions for those who have been to the festival in the past. For starters, how tightly do they pack people into the GA pens? Are you standing shoulder to shoulder with everyone or can you find places where you have a little more space? Also, I read that you can't bring in chairs but are they really strict about the no blankets thing? Is it realistic to find places on the lawn or elsewhere to sit down if we don't feel like standing for several hours?
