And lose your place in line? Why would you want to do that? You'd go from the front of the line to the very back. I imagine the wristbands are to stop people letting their friends cut in line.
According to staff, 300 bands given out so far. 1200 total tickets so they are expecting 600 people will each get 2. Everyone cordoned off in a fenced in area in the street. NYPD parked nearby.
If anyone is in line and only need one ticket I will pay for your ticket & any extra waiting fee you desire, as long as it's not out of the world. PM me if you're willing to help! Thanks in advance!

1200 total tickets will be released. Up to two per person. Just now they are around 250, acc to the numbers on the wristband"
I'm pretty sure that is not correct. You can purchase up to two tickets per part. They are expecting to give out 600 wristbands. If they were only selling 600 tickets for each part, they would only distribute 300 wristbands.
I agree with you, and they said if you’re given a wristband, you’re guaranteed a ticket. I was just relaying what I heard from people in the line but I think people are confused.
I am also willing to pay for someone's ticket if anyone there is getting only 1 ticket today. I can throw some extra money too. Contact me at niegeborges@gmail.com :)
I got here at 1:45 and was 458 but I’d say they’re just about to reach 500! Btw, you are NOT allowed to leave the line for long periods of time. I honestly hadn’t planned this for my day and was going to grab a wristband and then get at the back of the line around 6-7ish but was told that wasn’t an option, so don’t plan on that! The more you know ??
According to multipleaccounts on Twitter, the 600 wristbands are out but they're giving out another set of wristbands in case not everyone of the 600 are getting two tickets.
I'm #597. The first 600 wristbands were gold and we're guaranteed to get a ticket. After 600 they're giving out black wristbands for whatever is left, working under the assumption not everyone gets 2 sets, or people leave etc.
People are still getting in line though. There's like another hundred behind me.
