I'm more excited about the Sondheim Celebration concert in March 2012! So many names! And free!

Has anyone gone to these free events at the Kennedy Center? Do you get tickets ahead of time like a regular show, or is there a line on the day of?

There are free events at 6pm every night and those you just walk in and sit down.

For events with big names, they use the Opera House instead of the Millennium Stage. They start to give away tickets the day of at 1pm I believe, and it's first come, first serve. Usually the line starts first thing in the morning, but it's totally up in the air how late you can arrive and still get tickets.
