Guy Gets Tossed from Shakespeare in the Park Standby Line

  • 15 years ago
I waited in the line yesterday to see the Public's Twelfth Night in Central Park. The line for free tickets turned into a line for cancellations, in which a guy tried to cut. This guy had left the line early in the day and when the standby line formed just sat at the front, causing a lot of protest. At first he claimed he was just sitting there on the rock and not in line. Then he claimed that he had been in the line since 8am. Then he asked the guard to pretend he wasn't there. After waiting in the line for over 12 hours, I thought the entire staff worked hard to get everyone in who they could. I thought the security guy, here in the video, did a good job of keeping people updated and policing the line.
