How many people usually show up to these Christmas things at Rockefeller Plaza when bands play, like the one being shown on TV right now. If I had known, I would have taken a train because it looks like a lot of fun. Also, how close is it to Penn Station?

If you look on any map you can see where it is in relation to Penn Station.

It's at 50th, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

It's jammed at the tree lighting. And the traffic is a nightmare.

it is fun but you need to stake out a spot hours in advance.

Hours ahead of time. I hear the people towards the front get there around noon or earlier. Just from what I've heard though.

I would never wait that long in the cold just to see a tree lit. Maybe if my 3 favorite bands/singers were performing, then I would lol

Usually long lines. I used to go as a kid with my family. It's fun, but I do remember there being long lines. Maybe it depends what time/day you go.

I did some research because I, too, would like to go sometime. You need to make reservations on their Rockefeller Center's website.
