    Both lines end up in front of plaza hotel and curl into Central Park. Don't see any way how this takes less than 3 hours at this point.

    Are we talking GA or VIP? Has VIP2 entrance been smoove?
    Yeah, please clarify.

    Is this just for GA or for VIP as well.

    Concert starts clock counting down: 25 mins. And a "calming scent" has wafted onstage at the broadcast desk. Reefer Madness in Central Park!!!!

    Vip2/3 line stretched back to 85th. Took about 25 minutes from back of line to spot on vip3. There's large tall soundboard in middle of field near front blocking off decent portion of right side (facing stage) of vip3 section which is kind of annoying.

    Seeing it on TV, the VIP section looks a lot better than it did on the venue map. The angle isn't nearly as sharp as I thought it would be. That's good! But that sucks that the sound booth is in the way for some in VIP 3 as mentioned above. That's ridiculous. I'd be furious.

    Would hate to be at the back, lol. Although I guess if the sound is good it wouod be a nice relaxing day just listening.

    I like Coldplay. Why ya gotta hate? They're putting on a good show and obviously are really happy to be there.
    I don't know Ariana Grande's music, but I thought that was a nice song.

    I like them normally. But I don't rate Ariana Grande high. Chris was really cool though, all smiles. Good performance. Even did songs they didn't rehearse because that piano broke down. They really picked it up nicely and played more of my favorite songs. But that one song made me walk away when I heard ''Ariana Grande.'' Only makes easy hits etc. Would've liked another guest singer way better.

    Just looking through the merch for the festival. This package has a USB key chain with content from festival "artists". Does this refer to the musical artists or the art designers for the festival? Could have some PJ content on it.

    Only $28.00.

    After not getting tickets, part of me is hoping they'll put on a crappy show. But who am I kidding, they never put on a crappy show. That part of me is also laughing at those waiting hours in line. That part of me is kind of a dick.
