#50Shakespeare in the Park - Line Status Thread
Posted: 6/25/12 at 4:32pmThis is probably a naive question, but the only day I can go see As You Like It is on June 30th, the last day. I don't live in the city so I wouldn't be able to get to the park till around 8:00 a.m., and that's with taking a 6 o'clock train. Is it worth it to try and stand in line or will the line most likely be too long by 8?

If it is, you can always line up for standby tickets at around 6PM.
Tickets are released starting at around 7, for people that don't claim them in time. There's only been one night that not everyone on the standby line has gotten tickets.

Posted: 6/25/12 at 4:52pmAnd just to add to what Kad said-they do hand out slips to people who waited in line when they run out of tickets for general admission. You get a standby slip, basically, and you get to come back and get priority space in the standby line. (I think they have a certain number of standby slips they hand out. While they don't guarantee that you'll get in, they're a decent bet. I've gotten in both times this happened to me.)

Posted: 6/26/12 at 9:01pmThe whole standby line didn't make it in tonight. There were about 75 people left without tickets.

Thanks, Clyde. Holy Crap, tickets are becoming harder and harder to get. Why is their run so short??
OK, I finally have time to see it this Thursday. Sounds like the stand by line is no longer a good guarantee. What time should I get in line on Thursday? Is 10 am too late?

Posted: 6/27/12 at 7:59pmI'd say 10 is way too late - walked by there this morning and by 8:15 the line already looked to be beyond the point of getting tickets.
