Hi, everyone. I'm attending the Tony Awards this year for the first time and I had a few questions...
- What time do they start admitting people into Radio City Music Hall?
- Do they sell Tony Awards merchandise at the ceremony or any other location in the city?
- Where can I find the entrance for the general public?

I went three years ago so things may be different. Doors opened at 7PM. You get handed a free Tonys book, I can't remember if there was other merch. I used the front entrance.

I'm also attending and had similar questions so I just went by Radio City to ask.
For general public, doors open at 6:00 and CLOSE at 7:00.
You can use either of the side entrances, on 50th or 51st. The front entrance on 6th ave is for the red carpet.

You can purchase Tony merchandise here: http://tonyawardsstore.com/
When I attended the Tony Awards in 2015, there was merchandise available to purchase. You can probably expect there to be merchandise this year, too.

Received an email around 4 pm with the following message:
"Thank you for purchasing tickets to American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards 2017 at Radio City Music Hall.

As a result, please travel from 5th Avenue and enter through our 50th Street entrance (South Side of the building). Please add additional travel time.

That's kind of a dumb e-mail. How exactly do they suggest that attendees who are coming from west of Sixth Avenue (which is most of us) get there? Tunnel under, or be airlifted in???

I mean, you could just cross north or south of the closure. They aren't closing the entire street, just right around RCMH.
