We just read you have to get tickets ahead of time. Only so many people will be allowed in. You have to get them at the ticket box office. You have to reserve a day and which square you want to go too. So it isn’t first come first serve. It’s gonna be a pain Won’t be fun yet.

They can ship their "stuff" here so while the "drive your car through" the Canadian border is closed they can still get here with just a little bit of inconvenience. As for Europe. there are a few UK folks here already, not sure how they got here, I guess where there is a will there is a way.

I understand the European folks took the tunnel.

Wondering how hard it will be to get tickets.

For most groups we have found the squares are not crowded. Obviously for the most popular ones tickets will go quick.

Hoping people do not get tickets and than decide to stay home.

How about golf cart parking only around the four sides of the squares ? Only one cart per space in what is marked off as an automobile space. We can sit in our own carts while having social distancing marked off for us and not have to go get a ticket at the box office - when ? The day before ? What if I decided to go after dinner tonight ?

Jim Cramer August 2007
In an August 2007 interview on CNBC, Cramer ripped the Federal Reserve for not recognizing the risks facing the economy at the time due to a downturn in the housing market. Investors had already started selling stocks and real estate in favor of less risky assets, such as bonds and gold.

“My people have been in this game for 25 years and they’re losing their jobs and these firms are gonna go out of business and it’s nuts. They’re nuts! They know nothing! This is a different kinda market. And the Fed is asleep,”

One still has access to the entertainment on all four streets that frame the square.....where most people tend to gather and stroll around.

Because of them we have so many things to enjoy with less crowds the rest of year . You know I always find it funny when people only live in Florida for 4 or 4 years and say they hate snowbirds , I love them , 31 years in Florida
some times as a snow bird but now only away 2 months in summer in Boston most years and reverse snowbird most winters in Hawaii or Miami Beach but nothing this year

Permanent resident ID's?
Annually renewable like trail fees.
With priority points earned based on years in residence with different levels like cruise ship memberships.



(just kidding!)

How does this new system of get a ticket at the box office work ? Will one need an ID to get an admission ticket ? Can one get an admission ticket online ? If tickets are free will some abuse it by either getting tickets and being no shows or ordering large quantities? Will the system promote scalping ? Will there be tickets for sets I.E. usually 4 sets per night and most people only stay for one or two of the sets. Let's say it's 7 pm and there are plenty of vacant spots within the Square - will you still need a ticket ? 6PM, 8PM? Will there be training of the bright colored tee shirts personnel to prevent abuse of power - like being admitted at a popular nightspot ?

Hopefully the powers to be thought thru all aspects of this including people do not stay for the entire evening.

Typically we are there for first two sets and than off to a restaurant for dinner.

Constructively I do not want to be the selfish one that gets a ticket and then decides not to show the next night. I attend the squares often but mostly on the spur of the moment. I like to be a good neighbor and not think solely of myself.
