    Here's a strategy - wait in line like an adult. Don't cut the line like a child.

    Let's not kick this guy when he's down. He made a mistake. Kick him if he tries to cut line in front of you. :lol

    How am I a douche? Because everyone is misunderstanding what I'm trying to say? If you'll actually take your time and read my first reply to this, you'll see that the part about cutting in line was if worse comes to worse. I didn't mean to come off as a jerk. You clearly are

    No need to apologize to anyone here.
    Its over and done. Its all good.

    And trust me.
    I have met 100 people here on this board, who would stab their friend in the back, just to get 5 feet closer to the stage.
    Don't let the angels here fool you.

    Carry on.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Yeah, you know what? That 14-year-old girl who's been waiting since 8 a.m. to get close to Ed Sheeran for her first concert doesn't deserve her spot. Fuck her, right?

    I mean, we're Pearl Jam fans, and we're entitled to that rail no matter what.

    this is awesome. i love you dan kind for saying what i was thinking ;)

    We are lining up on the 25th. I hate how the crowd is set up so no one will be in front of Ed because they have a walkway in the middle for security.

    The Pope is having a procession through Central Park on Friday. You might not be able to form a line until afterwards.

    Once again, we need to remember this is not a Pearl Jam only event. If anything, we will be outnumbered by the Beyonce/Sheeran fans there. Not going to be remotely close to your normal PJ concert crowd.

    You place a wee child on your shoulders with a sign that says, "Ed, may I please have a tambourine?" Boom! Rail AND! a free souvenir.

    Make sure to hit the pop-up shop before and while you wait in line, post those finds on eBay to finance the trip you've just made.

    Haha that would probably work. And yeah I really look forward to the pop-up shop. I'll be getting in NY about the middle of the day that Friday and hope to go there right away. Also hoping that everything's not gone by then..

    You probably can't line up before the 26th cause of the pope's visit and related security and also because the park will be closed.

    Website says gates are on E. 72 and W. 72... That is a bit of a hike to get to the Great Lawn... Wondering of they are blocking the whole park off because they will have some pissed off NY'ers... Probably fence off a path to the lawn and just bring everybody in that way...

    yes, they block off the path to the lawn. It's a hike alright...takes a while to get in so be prepared. I have no desire to stand all day so I'm going for my regular spot. Plenty of screens and room to relax and stretch out. Not thanks on being a sardine! I'm too old for that shit!
