jake_the_builder Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Has anyone ever been to the NFL draft in NYC? I am looking to go this year and would like a little advice. When should I get in line to get the tickets the morning before? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanruiz13 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I tried once... for the 2004 NFL draft. Everywhere that I read said that they were giving out tickets (first come, first serve) at 9am. I got there before 7am and found out they gave the tickets out the night before. THEN they told us that they would slowly let people enter....waited with hundreds of people until 15 min before the 1st pick and left to a local bar. The guys next to me got in 1/2 way through the 1st round. As people left, they let others in. Don't know if I'll try that again. Good Luck. 2004 info http://football.about.com/cs/miscinformati...04draftinfo.htm 2006 info http://football.about.com/b/a/254327.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Jesus Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 It's at Radio City Music Hall this year. We tried going last year when it was held at the Javits Center. We got there early around 9:00 am the day of the draft and we could have easily purchased tickets then. One small problem though . . . . alcohol is NOT served at the NFL draft. Once we heard this news, we headed to the ESPN zone. The line there at 9:30 in the morning was longer than the line at the draft. We still had a balst at the ESPN zone. I doubt you'll have problems purchasing tickets the day of the draft if you get there early. Sleeping there over night is not necessary.

jake_the_builder Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hmmmm, thought alcohol was served, that might change my decision.......you say "purchase", think they are free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
