Has anyone attended the National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington DC??? if so please tell me if

  

hi- i am from the nj board and thought i would try my question over here,

-->
i got tickets through the lottery system. but after a little research i found out that they give out 14,oooo tickets for the standing room only area and 3,000 for the seated. we would be in the standing room area. and not sure my 2 boys will tolerate the crowd (almost 4 and 5). i had no idea they give out so many tickets!

  • I've never been.  I tried getting tickets, but didn't get picked.

  • Your ticket should specify if you got seating or standing room. I went last year and it was miserable. It was freezingcold and very long. I don't have kids and there weren't many kids around us. It's nice to say I went, but I doubt i'd do it again...
  • mine are 3 y.o. and 17mo and I didn't even apply b/c I know that's not something I'd want to do with LOs, not that late and not in the cold.

     

  • I went when I was younger, 20s, a few times. It's neat to go and to say you've gone but it is cold. Will your children be patient with waiting? You should be there early. I thin you kids are old enough. My mom always took us to Rockefeller center growing up for the tree lighting. It was cold and crowded but I remember loving the excitement.

    Miserable?  Really, I thought we had fun.

    Sheesh.

     

  • thank you for all of your insight.my tickets are for the standing room area.  I think we are going to give our tickets to my sister or cousin. my 2 boys will not tolerate waiting and being cold and the huge crowd of 15k + .  as much as i would love to go we are going to hopefully get tickets in a few years from now when they will be easier to tolerate the event.
