There obviously will be the ones who wont follow rules and spoil it for the rest of us. Everyone has been in a meltdown since the square activities closed. How about everyone act like adults for once so it wont be closed again

Not everyone has been in a meltdown. Most Villages act like adults. I don't expect bad behavior. It will be closed again if we have a major resurgence in Florida.

When I taught small children, I had Officer Friendly come visit our classroom. Every police officer I have ever known or talked to has been positive and warm including my own Grandfather and uncle. We are nice people us Villagers, officer. Most of us.

Can't see vendors being happy to exclude people or deter customers - what if you just want to eat at a restaurant e.g. McColls, Marguaretaville where are the entrance points ...more specific details please !!

My understanding is that the tickets are free but limited to the number of people they choose to allow. Getting them is a pain, and you may need to show your ID card. I’m not sure. It may help to restrict the number of people there who don’t live in The Villages. Let’s hope that by next summer we all have been vaccinated and the squares will be back to business as usual.

I actually got online this morning and was able to get the allowed 2 passes for 2 different shows.
The system was so jammed and slow. When I went back in within 20 min all shows were sold out. They only show 1 week in advance

Whoa, no one has to pay for any tickets to the squares

they are doing this to maintain social distancing....everyone that has a TV ID# can get a ticket from the box office (1st come, 1st served) limited to 2 tickets to control the crowd numbers....u bring your own chairs and no BYOB...the area that previously was used for dancing has been fenced off...rest of the square is open as usual

you can eat at any restaurant, you can shop at any retail store...u can walk around, but
you can't put a chair on the sidewalks apparently

Yes, but sadly those residing in "The Village of Entitled" which is just west of "The VIllage of MeMeMe" are always running around here somewhere.

Just maybe because it will block the walkways where people actually, ummmm, WALK, and force people to walk into the street and get hit by some drunk in a golf cart. Can you imagine all those who didn't get tickets saying "HEY, I'll just put my lounge chair on the sidewalk." Don't make it more than it is. As it is, you can be sure that some folks will turn this into a fiasco yelling TYRANNY! I CAN'T SIT ON THE SIDEWALK! THE FIRST AMENDMENT SAYS FREEDOM OF SEATS!

I just got on just now (10:40 am) and tickets for most shows are still available. And the system is no longer slow
