Bored? Don't be. Sit in line (EARLY) for FREE Shakespeare in the Park tickets through The Public Theater...


Much Ado About Nothing
King Lear

Free tickets are distributed on each performance day via the Free Lines at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. We recognize that free ticket lines can sometimes be long and we appreciate the time and dedication of everyone. These ticket policies are designed to maximize fairness for visitors and to make everyone’s experience as smooth and pleasant as possible.​ ​
Free tickets are distributed at 12pm (noon) every day there is a public performance.​ 
Performance days will vary from week to week, so be sure to check the performance calendar. People often line up several hours ahead of the distribution time, so plan ahead.
Each person (age 5+) may receive up to 2 tickets, until we run out.​ 
Seat locations are distributed randomly; not based on a person’s position in the line. There are separate lines for accessible tickets for senior citizens (65+) and for patrons with disabilities.​
Things to know once you receive your tickets:
1. You may bring food and drink inside the theater, but please no glass containers.
2. The theater will open approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the show. Arriving late may disrupt a quiet moment in the show, so latecomers will be seated at the discretion of theater management.
3. Children under 5 should sit on the lap of a parent or other adult. When entering the theater through your assigned gate, please ask for a lap voucher from the staff member who takes your ticket. Strollers of any kind are not allowed in the theater. ​
If you do not receive tickets, you may join the stand-by line after the final ticket is distributed for that day's performance.
The Public Theater staff will begin to monitor this line starting at 6pm. Free stand-by tickets will be distributed if and when they become available, 1 per person.
To allow as many different people as possible to enjoy Shakespeare in the Park, each person is limited to receiving free tickets to 2 performances of each production. 
This limit applies not just to the particular performance for which you are currently in line, but for the entire run of that production at the Delacorte Theater. ​
