It's under the awning on the other side for most of the day, then between 6:00-6:30, they move the line over to the Marriott side to make room for the ticketholder line.
I've done the line three times. The last time was last Friday. Got there at 10:00 and was 9th in line. Got my ticket at 6:00. Nobody lined up behind me until around 2:00 so i could have gotten there at 1:30 and been in the same spot.
Normally i would say if you get there by 2:00, you'll be fine (the three times i've done the line, people who got in line at 2:00-3:00 always got in), however since you're coming from out of town, i would plan
No problem. And Askh8177 makes a good point. I got there at 9:30 and got a 2nd row seat which, IMO, is TOO close. The best seats come later so you don't want to get your ticket too soon. It might pay to not get there first thing. Of course, if you don't care where you sit and just want to get in, then you might as well get there early.
I actually did the line last Friday. I got there around 9:30 but i REALLY didn't have to. There were 7 people ahead of me and about half of them left by 12:00 as they didn't want to wait any more. A couple people got tickets and at 2:00, i was the ONLY person in line. Around 3-4:00 several more people got on line. I got my ticket at 4:00. 2nd row, no problem.
5PM may be a little too late. I got there one Friday at 2:00 and a couple people who came a while after me got in (don't remember what time) so there's a chance. If you're local and you feel like walking by to check out the line, you might as well. You never know.
BTW, officer Sullivan who is usually there outside keeping order told us Tuesdays and Thursdays have the shortest lines.

It really can change from day to day. I've knew someone who was walking by at 6:30 one evening and saw nobody on line. He was able to walk right up and get a cancellation ticket. Other days you have t

Front mezz or rear? Front mezz row A would be excellent seats. You get a nice view of everything but still pretty close. But you're right. There's no guarantee. Bust most of them will be in the center orchestra.

Also, I will be going to try this in October, like middle of the month, do you guys think it will be better or worse to get tickets?"
Yes $229. I would think october would be a good time as the weather should be cooler and the kids will be back in school so that may keep a lot of people away. Just get there as early as possible and be prepared to sit there

Within 30 minutes of arriving, the first person was sold a ticket. Then by 7:30 PM, the next two were taken in to buy tickets. The next tickets were all sold one at a time starting at about 7:50 PM. The woman ahead of me was taken in around 7:58 PM and they came for me around 8:02 PM. I was t
My wife and i are planning on getting on line one Saturday in NYC soon (Not sure which one, we live in northern NJ so we'll play it by ear). We'll see either matinee or evening. What's the current news on the earliest we should get there on a Saturday this time of year to be pretty much guaranteed tickets at for either show (not premium or SRO)?
