Good to know about the Central Park SummerStage
★There are no tickets for free events, but space is limited and available on a "firstcome, firstserved" basis. Sometimes, lines form over an hour before the gates open.
★There is a special area where people can spread out blankets and sit during the show.
★If you're attending a show during the daytime, keep in mind that there is little shade (阴凉处), so sunblock and sunhats are necessary. Also, drink plenty of water to avoid getting dehydrated (脱水的).
★Food is allowed. And you can order everything from the Park Shop. But remember to take away your rubbish, otherwise you'll be fined.
★If you want to get into events more easily, pay for SummerStage Membership (会员资格) which offers members the fasttrack entrance to shows and seats on the bleachers (露天看台).
★If you're not into crowds and are satisfied with just hearing the music, there is plenty of space on the grass outside of the Central Park SummerStage area.
