Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting: Can I Crash It?

Factual Questions
1

I want to be at this years Rockerfeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting. At the front, wherever the front is. On time.

So, how do I get in?
What’s the deal?
Buy tickets?
Online Reservations?
Pull up with the ol’ Igloo?

Thanks,
hh

Looks like it’s free - you just show up and wait. I recommend you get there several hours early. And bring a sandwich.

However, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting is rather bourgeois. If you’re looking for a good time, New York’s hottest club is Boooooooof!; the club that finally answers the question, “What the hell?” They’ve got everything: trannies, grannies, fannies, and Spannies. What are Spannies, you ask? It’s that thing of when you hang a midget off of a scaffold, and old Greek men throw pickles at him.

You’ll need to get there at least four hours early, and enter the plaza from fifth avenue. The view from the side (47th street or 50th street) is gonna be disappointing.

Raise your hand if you came into this thread [del]hoping[/del] fearing that the OP was asking about some esoteric way of hacking into the tree decoration lighting circuits electronically, to make strategically placed lights on the tree flash “OG SMASH!” or “GO RED SOX!” or something of that sort.

I was hoping. How does one “crash” a public event, anyway?
