What is a good time to start lining up in Central Park for tickets to Shakespeare in the Park?

Question

I want to get tickets to Hair on August 12, and want to make sure I get tickets, so I want to make sure I get there on time

Answer 1

  Having lived in NYC, attending NYU, and having been to events such as WoodStock and various concerts in Central Park, you could assume as many as 250,000 people could jam in, but that's unlikely for HAIR, ( A GREAT Piece of work btw)

  TICKETS assume $$$, though nothing can possibly be assigned standing room, and not knowing if seating is even available, even $$$ assumes first come first serve to the stage, in close seating.

   With all due respect, if you've ever attended major concerts, or even waited outside a Best Buy for the new "I Phone" you realize some people "camp out". Certainly for this performance, NYPD will be contracted for crowd and traffic control, and I have no clue any longer, of any regulations regarding Camping in a line, but you should find out.

   BTW 8/12 is 9 days away. If you "WANT TO",,, perhaps you BETTER, "Today"?

   I want to assume the acoustics at least will be suplemented and enhanced.
