NYC: Need two 5BBT spots
Help! I planned to do the 5 Borough tour with my daughter and when I checked online it is already sold out. She did this once before and was already talking about going with me, so I don't want to disappoint her.
When did this ride start to sell out early? I used to register on the day of the event, mostly because I didn't want to fork over the money if there was a chance I couldn't go. It was never a problem.
Anybody out there have registration that they won't use???

Since 30,000 is more or less the limit of what can be physically handled on the route, the decision was taken 2 years ago to close off registration when 30,000 people were registered. It just happened rather early this year.
By not doing sign up on day of the event, a large number of marshals are freed up to work elsewhere on the route and we avoid a lot of congestion in Battery Park.
Best of luck to get a registration. Wave at us when you make the turn to the Madison Avenue Bridge.

Check on Craigslist, people will sell as it gets closer.

Unfortunately, Craigslist is full of people looking for registrations.
